Santa Marina is a Luxury Collection resort on its own peninsula above Ornos Bay, a short drive from Mykonos town.
What you gain is a full service resort buyout with a private beach, a kitchen with a Michelin pedigree and the island's social energy on tap.
What you trade is seclusion and a modest budget, since this is a premium resort takeover priced for the Mykonos market.
Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, sits on a private peninsula above Ornos Bay, about four kilometres from Mykonos town, with one hundred and fourteen rooms and the largest private sandy beach on the island. For a wedding it offers a full property takeover, typically for forty to one hundred guests, with the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception on site and a restaurant from the Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton. It is polished, sociable and priced for Mykonos.
A peninsula above Ornos.
Santa Marina occupies its own headland above Ornos Bay on the south side of Mykonos, a Luxury Collection resort of one hundred and fourteen rooms wrapped around the largest private sandy beach on the island. It is close enough to Mykonos town, about four kilometres, to plug into the island's famous nightlife, and private enough on its peninsula to host a wedding without sharing the view.
For a wedding the resort works as a full property takeover, with the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception all on site and the team running the day end to end. The private beach and the headland give several settings, from a sunset ceremony over the water to a reception under the stars, and the kitchen carries the pedigree of the Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton. Buyouts typically suit parties of forty to one hundred.
The honest truth is that Santa Marina is a premium resort, and a buyout is priced to match. As an indicative guide a weekend takeover runs from around sixty thousand to one hundred and eighty thousand euros before catering, so it rewards couples who want a polished, full service Mykonos wedding with the island on their doorstep, rather than a quiet or budget conscious day.
The practical things, told straight.
Santa Marina hosts weddings as a full property takeover, so the buyout is the foundation of the budget and the catering sits on top. Treat every figure as indicative and confirm directly, since the guest count and the season move the total considerably.

The spaces
A private peninsula and the island's largest private beach give several wedding settings, from a sunset ceremony over the water to a reception on the headland, with one hundred and fourteen rooms for guests to stay.
Getting there
Mykonos airport is about ten minutes away and the new port handles ferries from Athens and the Cyclades. The resort is four kilometres from town, so transfers are short.
Staying over
With one hundred and fourteen rooms the resort can house a large share of the guest list on site, which suits a multi day celebration with the party staying together.
