Pick a beach club in Mykonos and you are really picking a budget tier. The best beach clubs in Mykonos break into three: the luxury day clubs on Psarou and Paraga (Nammos, Scorpios, SantAnna), the cheaper party beaches on the south coast (Paradise, Super Paradise), and the calmer design-led spots up north (Principote, Alemagou). Reckon on EUR 40-110 per sunbed plus a food-and-drink minimum, with the season running May to late September.
That minimum spend is the part people miss. The sunbed price only buys you a seat; on top of it sits a food-and-drink floor of roughly EUR 50-150 a head at the premium clubs, with cocktails at EUR 22-27 and mains EUR 40-80. Mykonos is priced on par with Ibiza, and it has a documented history of inflated tabs, so read the menu before you order and ask for an itemized bill. The rest of this guide sorts the clubs by what you actually get for the money.
If money is no object: Nammos, Scorpios, SantAnna
Nammos on Psarou Beach is the headline name, the celebrity-and-yacht day club billed as the most famous in the Mediterranean and the one with the steepest bill. Front-row sunbeds run EUR 70-110 and up with a minimum spend attached, cocktails start around EUR 22, and a leisurely lunch for two often lands between EUR 300 and EUR 600. It opens for the season in mid-to-late May. You pay for the scene; if people-watching is not the point of your day, your money stretches further elsewhere.
Scorpios sits a couple of bays over on Paraga, and it is the bohemian-luxe pick rather than the bottle-service one. Its draw is the daily sunset ritual set built on organic and deep house. Cabanas run roughly EUR 200-240 a day for up to four, daybeds climb in price toward the water, the kitchen opens around 1:30pm, and music carries past midnight. Dress is beach-chic, meaning what you would wear to the sea rather than a going-out outfit. For July and August weekends, request a spot two to four weeks out.
SantAnna, also on Paraga, is the one to book for groups: among the largest and most lavish clubs on the island, built around an enormous pool with VIP cabanas and a calendar of international DJs and live acts. Plan on EUR 50-plus per sunbed and high food-and-beverage minimums, with daytime parties that push into the night.
If you came to party for less: Paradise and Super Paradise
The south-coast party beaches are where a Mykonos beach day stops costing four figures. Paradise Beach Club runs all day and into the night around a big central pool, with a day party that kicks off around 4pm before the crowd drifts up the cliff to the Cavo Paradiso superclub. Sunbeds and entry sit in the cheaper tier, the crowd skews young, and the energy is pool-party rather than posing. Its season is long, roughly April through October.
Super Paradise Beach Club is the next bay over, a touch more polished and a long-running LGBTQ hub thanks to Jackie O' Beach alongside it, with a pool, restaurant and famous drag and cabaret shows. It is walk-in friendly and mixed, and as of mid-2026 it marks its season launch in early May. Between the two, a day on the sand with drinks runs a fraction of what a Psarou front row costs.
If you want quiet: the north-coast clubs
Up on the north coast the mood shifts from party to design-led calm. Principote on Panormos Beach is built around sunset DJ sessions, with cabanas around EUR 500 (minimum spend included) and a less frenetic crowd than the Paradise strip. Alemagou, on windier Ftelia Beach, is the hippy-chic, surf-leaning option with eclectic, chilled sets and a long-lunch-into-sunset rhythm. Both usually need a taxi or rental car, since they sit away from the main bus lines, and both can get blown about: the meltemi wind hammers the north coast, Ftelia especially. On a gusty day, the sheltered south beaches are the smarter call.
The price tiers side by side
All figures below are as of mid-2026 and shift by row, day and season.
| Club | Beach | Sunbed / cabana | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nammos | Psarou | Sunbed EUR 70-110+ with min. spend | Luxury, yacht scene |
| Scorpios | Paraga | Cabana EUR 200-240/day; daybeds by row | Luxury, sunset ritual |
| SantAnna | Paraga | EUR 50+ sunbeds, VIP cabanas | Luxury, mega pool |
| Principote | Panormos | Cabana ~EUR 500 with min. spend | Calm, north-coast sunset |
| Super Paradise | Super Paradise | Lower-tier sunbeds | Party, LGBTQ hub |
| Paradise Beach | Paradise | Budget entry/sunbeds | Party, young crowd |
Layer the minimum spend on top of every premium line, and remember cocktails at EUR 22-27 stack up fast. A no-frills day on the Paradise strip can run well under EUR 50 a head; a front-row Nammos lunch with drinks clears EUR 300 per couple without much effort.
Getting there and getting back
Reaching the south-coast beaches is cheap: KTEL buses run from the Fabrika (South) station to Paradise. The return trip is the catch. The standard last bus on many routes is around 10pm to 10:15pm, though some Paradise buses run later in July and August. Check the current timetable, and budget for a taxi if you plan to stay past midnight, because late-night cabs are scarce and metered fares add roughly a 50 percent surcharge between midnight and 5am. For the north-coast clubs, plan on a taxi or rental car either way.
Let someone else handle the logistics
If you would rather not play reservation chess (which club, which row, what minimum, how to get home), a guided beach-club crawl bundles the entry and the transport, hitting several of the better venues in one afternoon instead of stitching together bus times and hoping a cabana is free.
For the same daytime-party energy on the water, a sunset boat party with an open bar and a DJ leaves from Mykonos Town and makes the golden hour the main event. It is also the smart move on a meltemi day, when the wind chops up the north beaches but the south coast and the open water stay on.
When to book and what to bring
The season is tight. July and August are peak: hottest, busiest, priciest, with full DJ lineups (Scorpios, SantAnna, Alemagou and the Cavo Paradiso superclub are all confirmed names for the 2026 program). May, June and September are the sweet spot for warm weather, thinner crowds and softer prices, with the meltemi the only real wildcard. Outside mid-April to October, the clubs close and the island goes quiet. Reserve sunbeds and cabanas ahead for peak weeks, since the good rows go first. Carry a passport or EU ID, because a 2025 law tightened alcohol-ID checks, and bring both a card and some cash, since some taxis are cash-only. Above all, treat the menu as a contract: confirm the minimum spend before you settle in, and read the bill line by line before you pay.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a beach club in Mykonos cost?
Plan on EUR 40-110 per sunbed by row at the premium clubs, plus a food-and-drink minimum spend of roughly EUR 50-150 per person. Cocktails run EUR 22-27, mains EUR 40-80. A relaxed lunch for two at Nammos often lands at EUR 300-600. The Paradise and Super Paradise beaches are noticeably cheaper, with sunbeds in the cheaper tiers and a younger party crowd.
Which is the best beach club in Mykonos?
It depends on the vibe you want. Scorpios on Paraga is the bohemian-luxe pick with a famous daily sunset set. Nammos on Psarou is the celebrity-and-yacht scene. SantAnna is the huge pool-and-cabana spot, Principote a calmer north-coast sunset session, and Super Paradise the better-value party beach. There is no single winner, only the right one for your day.
Do you need a reservation for Scorpios Mykonos?
Yes, reserve ahead. Scorpios runs on cabanas and rows of daybeds that book up fast, so request a spot 2-4 weeks out for July and August weekends. Cabanas run roughly EUR 200-240 a day for up to four people, and evening Sunset Ritual tables carry steep group minimums. Walk-ins are possible early in the day or in shoulder season, but never guaranteed.
What is the difference between Paradise and Super Paradise beach?
Paradise Beach is the all-day, all-night party beach with a big central pool, a day party that kicks off around 4pm, and Cavo Paradiso up the cliff. Super Paradise is the next bay over, a touch more upscale and a long-running LGBTQ hub thanks to Jackie O' Beach. Both sit in the more affordable tier than Psarou or Paraga.
When is beach club season in Mykonos?
Most clubs run May through late September or early October. July and August are the crowded, priciest peak with full DJ programming. May, June and September are warmer-priced shoulder months with fewer crowds, though the meltemi wind can hit north-coast beaches like Ftelia hard. Outside roughly mid-April to October, almost nothing operates.
Is Nammos worth it in Mykonos?
If you want the see-and-be-seen luxury day club and have the budget, yes. Nammos on Psarou is the most famous beach club in the Mediterranean, with house and lounge DJ sets, bottle-service energy, and a yacht crowd. Cocktails start around EUR 22 and a midday for two often runs EUR 300-600. If that math stings, the Paradise strip delivers the party for far less.
