The villa opens up to a spacious terrace with a gorgeous sea view. All rooms are air-conditioned. There are another two large terraces next to 2 infinity pools with sunbeds and umbrellas. The terraces provide large shaded dining areas overlooking the infinity pools and a beautiful sea view.
Villa Halu is located just a 15-minute drive from Mykonos Town, a 5-minute drive from Ftelia Beach where there is the Alemagou Beach Club and Restaurant, and just a 4-minute drive from Ano Mera - a charming small town with bakeries, restaurants, and a supermarket. Another fabulous beach close by is Kalo Livadi Beach. The beautiful location of Villa Halu offers amazing views of the sea + coast, with rolling hills in the background, and sunset views not to be missed!
