Mykonos, Greece

Perched in Mykonos’ sunlit hills, this serene villa offers sweeping Aegean views, golden hour like you've never seen, and peaceful moments to read, reflect, and connect—just close enough to town, but worlds away.

Indulge in literary bliss at our exclusive reading retreat, where leisure meets literature, and like-minded women come together for a celebration of words.

Join us solo, or better yet, come with your best friend, sister or another incredible woman in your life for a weekend retreat that blends relaxation, literature, and laughter.

Location

Mykonos, Greece

Perched in one of Mykonos’ most privileged spots, Villa Paradiso is the kind of place that makes time soften around the edges. With uninterrupted views across the Aegean—stretching out to Paros, Naxos, Sifnos and Ios—and Super Paradise beach glimmering below, this is Mykonos at its most serene, most cinematic, and most indulgent.

Set across expansive, sun-soaked grounds, the villa feels both grand and deeply calming. Think slow mornings by the pool, books balanced on sun-warmed linen, and afternoons drifting between shaded pergolas and secret lounging spots carved into the rocks. Every detail has been considered—from the hand-crafted marble bathrooms (created by artisans from nearby Tinos) to the bespoke lighting and solid oak furniture—creating a space that feels quietly luxurious rather than showy.

Inside, the villa unfolds into light-filled living and dining spaces, designed for gathering without ever feeling crowded. With elegant bedrooms offering privacy, comfort, and sea views that practically demand a lie-in with your book. Outside is where Villa Paradiso truly shines. A vast swimming pool sits tucked away among cacti, laurels and cypress trees, shielded from the outside world and made for long, lazy days. There are multiple outdoor dining areas for lingering lunches and candlelit dinners, an open-air kitchen and barbecue for effortless evenings, and plenty of quiet corners for reading, journalling, or simply watching the light change over the sea.

It’s peaceful, it’s beautifully designed, and it’s made for women who want to read in peace—surrounded by space, sunshine, and views that do half the unwinding for you.

I attended the February Caribbean reading retreat and wish I could rate it higher than 5 stars! This was the best vacation I could have imagined. Not only was the resort amazing, the conversation and the ladies could not have been better.

I had such a lovely time on my retreat to Sicily. Megan is an amazing host who really looked after all of the group and made the trip feel like a fab holiday with friends. I went alone and everyone was lovely - I will happily book again next year. Book! You won't regret it.
