Thatched pergolas frame the sun sinking behind the islands of Delos and Rhenia at this terraced villa on Mykonos. Built into the hillside like a nest, its indoor and outdoor living areas stretch over several levels, creating plenty of private nooks along with spaces for everyone to gather. The nearest beach is Agios Ioannis, whose stretch of sand could be—and was—the setting for a movie.

 Settle in to sunny days by the infinity pool, sunbeds, shaded al-fresco living and dining areas, and a wood-fired barbecue, all with views of the Aegean’s glittering expanse. After you’ve watched the sunset, have a post-prandial coffee from the Nespresso machine, switch on the satellite TV or Sonos sound system, and post photos from your holiday via Wi-Fi.

 Classic stone and whitewashed walls evoke the traditional architecture of Greece’s islands, but inside, this vacation rental takes a more modern tack. In the living rooms, sculptural coffee tables sit beside built-in sofas; in the dining room, Wishbone chairs and a banquette seat eight. Though much of it is concealed behind clever fold-away wood paneling, the kitchen is fully equipped.

 This luxury property has two bedrooms with queen beds and en-suite bathrooms, and two bedrooms with double beds: one with an en-suite bathroom and one with a shared hall bathroom. All four bedrooms have ocean views and air conditioning, and one of the queen bedrooms has its own lounge area and kitchenette, making it ideal for a couple that wants to sneak away for a honeymoon-style escape.

 The villa’s setting in the Pouli area of Mykonos is just a short drive from Agios Ioannis Beach, a gorgeous stretch where you can build sand castles as a family all day, then pause for a drink at one of the restaurants lining the beach while you watch the sun go down. Get your fill of Greek specialties, from local seafood to moussaka to Myconian honey pie, in Mykonos Town, which is close enough for lunch or dinner.
