Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos
Our verdict

A private peninsula resort with the only private beach on Mykonos, made for the island's signature wedding, glamorous, sun drenched and built to run late.

Santa Marina sits on a secluded headland near Ornos, a short drive from Mykonos town, with a private cove, pool terraces and beach bars looking out over the Aegean. As a full resort it scales from an intimate beach ceremony to a large party of several hundred, with rooms on site for the whole group, which is why it suits a multi day Mykonos wedding.

It is bright, social and built for a celebration with energy rather than a hushed, intimate one, and it rewards a planner who knows how to harness the island's party reputation without losing the elegance.

The quick answer

Santa Marina is a Luxury Collection resort on a private peninsula near Ornos, around four kilometres from Mykonos town, with the only private beach on the island. It hosts beachfront and terrace celebrations of up to around 300 guests outdoors, with an indoor space for around 80, and the resort sleeps the wedding party on site. It suits a glamorous, multi day Mykonos wedding. Confirm exact capacity and the current resort hire terms directly with the venue.

The venue in detail

A private cove, pool terraces and the Aegean.

Style and setting

Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, occupies a secluded peninsula above Ornos Bay, around four kilometres from Mykonos town. It holds the only private beach on the island, along with pool terraces, beach bars and restaurants that look out over the Aegean. The mood is contemporary Cycladic, all whitewash, stone and sea, polished but relaxed, and it carries the bright, social energy that draws couples to Mykonos in the first place.

Capacity

The resort hosts up to around 300 guests across its outdoor spaces, from a ceremony on the private beach to a dinner on the pool terrace or a party at the beach bar, with an indoor space for around 80 for a more contained event. That range lets it carry an intimate celebration or a large, multi day wedding with equal ease.

Staying on site

As a full resort, Santa Marina sleeps the wedding party on site across its rooms, suites and private villas, so the whole group can stay together for a multi day celebration. That makes a welcome dinner, a beach day and a recovery brunch easy to weave around the wedding without moving guests across the island.

What it costs

Santa Marina quotes wedding hire on request, with catering priced per person and the figure shaped by the date, the guest count and whether you take rooms or the resort more broadly. As an indicative March 2026 guide, a luxury resort wedding in Mykonos commonly runs well into six figures in euros once accommodation, catering, decor and production are added. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly with the resort.

Logistics, told straight
Getting there
Mykonos airport is around 10 to 15 minutes by road, with seasonal flights from across Europe and connections through Athens. Many guests also arrive by ferry or private boat, and the resort is a short transfer from the port.
A multi day stay
Because the whole group can stay on site, the celebration usually runs across several days, so plan around room nights and a programme rather than a single day. That spreads the cost and makes the most of the resort.
Wind and season
Mykonos is famous for the meltemi wind in high summer, which can pick up on an exposed beach, so a good planner builds a sheltered alternative into the plan and times the ceremony for the calmer evening.
The legal bit
A legal civil marriage is possible in Greece with the right documents and translations, though many couples handle the legal step at home and hold a symbolic ceremony on the beach. A local planner will guide the paperwork and the timeline.
