Scorpios Mykonos

Scorpios Mykonos — Sunset Energy, Grown-Up Crowd

A bohemian peninsula built for slow days, shared tables, and big sunset catharsis. Book it properly or don’t bother showing up.

Where
Paraga peninsula (6–7 km from Town). Taxi or transfer; driving signage beats pin-dropping.
Season
Typically May–Oct (weather & program dependent).
Restaurant
Service window usually ~13:30–23:00. Sharing plates; communal tables.
Vibe
Calm days; build to sunset rituals and late-night sets. Sophisticated, not rowdy.

Location & Setting

ParagaSunset viewsBeach & terraces

Scorpios occupies a rugged headland with layered terraces stepping down to the water. It’s built like a modern agora: stone, timber, shade canopies, and a natural amphitheater for the sunset ritual.

Eat & Drink

Greek–MediterraneanSharing platesLong lunches

The restaurant is social by design: large tables, produce-led plates, and a clean Greek-Medit brief that actually travels well across a long afternoon. Plan on a leisurely lunch, espresso hiatus, then slide into golden hour.

Order smart: market fish to share, cooked greens, a cold mezze round, something from the charcoal, then pause for sunset.

Sunset Rituals & Music

Sunset ritualLive/DJsEncounters

As the light drops, the tempo lifts. Sunset Rituals blend live instrumentation and DJ sets; on select dates the Encounters program brings art- and tech-forward performances. It’s curated, not chaotic.

Reality check: Prime terrace inventory is tight at sunset. Book early or accept the steps.

Reservations, Sunbeds & Minimums

Book aheadSunset tablesGroups welcome
  • Restaurant: request online; lunch through late evening.
  • Terrace: sunset slots are limited and reviewed manually.
  • Beach/Sunbeds: seasonal; request via the same form or on-site concierge.

Pro tip: If you care about the view, specify “terrace near stage/sunset.” If you care about conversation, specify “upper terrace, calmer.”

Dress & Access

Resort-chicSunset layersNo beachwear at dinner

It’s polished boho, not club kitsch. Light layers for wind, flat sandals for steps, and yes—smart casual at dinner. Getting there: follow local signage to Paraga; pins can mislead on the final turn.

Hard Takes (so you book wisely)

  • Go early, stay late: lunch → linger → sunset ritual. That’s the point.
  • Don’t wing it: peak months demand reservations days in advance.
  • It’s not a kids’ party: daytime is family-tolerant; sunset til late skews adult.

Editor’s stance: If you’re after foam cannons and chart remixes, pick another beach. If you want a sunset ritual with intent, this is the island’s benchmark.
