Elite Traveler Summer 2022

Elysium Mykonos, Greece

Inspired by Ancient Greek Cycladic architecture, Elysium is all dramatic stone and minimal aesthetics. The 7,500 sq ft of understated design makes the sparkling sea vistas the focus. The interior materials re fl ect the natural landscape, and creamy stone fl oors mimic the style of the famous Mykonian streets. The estate is located on 43,000 sq ft of land, with nine bedrooms split among the main house and guest property. Indoor/outdoor living is naturally a theme here, and the sliding doors completely disappear into the walls to create a seamless fl ow between the inside and outside. And once outside, you can lounge on the open terrace or cool o ff in the in fi nity pool. Panoramic views of Mykonos town can be enjoyed from all areas of the home, whether you’re barbecuing in the alfresco dining area or sipping champagne in the private hot tub area just o ff the master suite. An iPad-operated home control system allows homeowners to create their own heaven with just the touch of a button. $9.3m.
