Since 1969 — before Ibiza had a global club scene, before Mykonos was a byword for summer hedonism — there has been a party at Paradise Beach. The Paradise Beach Club Mykonos is the oldest continuously operating beach club on the island, voted #14 Best Club Worldwide, and it runs what is objectively the most consistent and most democratic party schedule in all of Greece — daily day and night parties from April through October 2026, open to everyone, bookable by any group, with tables available from a deposit, and the full open-air Mediterranean beach club experience delivered without the velvet-rope exclusivity of Mykonos' newer venues.
"Since 1969, still the wildest party on the island."
The Story of Paradise Beach Club
57 Years of Non-Stop Party
Paradise Beach Club has a backstory that no new venue can manufacture:
- Founded 1969 — the same year Woodstock happened, Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, and Mykonos was still known primarily to hippie travelers and European artists rather than the global luxury market.
- 57 consecutive summers of operation — the longest continuous run of any beach club on the island and one of the longest of any club in the Mediterranean.
- Voted #14 Best Club Worldwide — the only Greek venue in the global top 20 at the time of the ranking.
- The club is the institutional memory of Mykonos' party history — the venue that was here before the celebrity circuit, before the mega-yacht crowd, before the €500 minimum spend culture, and that continues to operate on the foundational principle that the best parties are the most open ones.
The 2026 Experience
Daily Parties from April Through October
The official Paradise Beach Club website confirms the full season structure for 2026:
- Season: April through October 2026
- Format: Daily day parties AND night parties — two separate sessions every day of the season
- Summer 2026 Events: NOW LIVE — full calendar published at paradiseclubmykonos.com
The Venue: Paradise Beach
A Sheltered South-Facing Sandy Bay
Paradise Beach — one of the most famous beach names in the entire Mediterranean — is a sheltered south-facing sandy bay on Mykonos' south coast, approximately 5 kilometers from Mykonos Town (Chora). It sits adjacent to its neighbor Super Paradise Beach (home to the Super Paradise Beach Club, a separate venue) and within the cluster of south coast party beaches — Paraga (SantAnna), Paradise, Super Paradise — that form the heart of Mykonos' beach club corridor.
The bay's natural geography — a sheltered crescent of sand facing southwest into the Aegean — gives Paradise Beach its characteristic combination of strong afternoon sun, afternoon trade wind energy that builds the party atmosphere, and the long Cycladic sunset that turns the sky above the sea into the most beautiful natural stage backdrop available at any beach club anywhere.
What to Expect: The Two Daily Party Sessions
Day and Night Parties with Top DJs
Both sessions are separately bookable via table reservation. Tables require a small deposit paid in advance — the remaining amount is paid on arrival. The Eventbrite listing confirms day parties from 16:00 and night parties from 21:00 (actual door time) with a 45-minute table hold from the official party start.
The natural itinerary for a full Paradise Beach night: Day party at Paradise Beach Club (16:00–22:00) → dinner or beach chill → Night party at Paradise Beach Club (22:00 onwards) OR move up the cliff to Cavo Paradiso (23:00 – dawn) for the world-class late-night DJ programme.
The Full Mykonos South Coast Beach Club Corridor
Four Venues, Four Unique Experiences
Paradise Beach Club sits in the context of Mykonos' most concentrated cluster of beach club venues — each with a distinct character and a distinct crowd:

Paradise Beach Club vs. Cavo Paradiso
The Same Beach, Two Different Experiences
An important distinction for first-time visitors: Paradise Beach Club and Cavo Paradiso are two separate venues sharing the same Paradise Beach area:
- Paradise Beach Club — the beachfront venue AT beach level, the day-into-night party from 16:00 to late, the more accessible and more democratically priced of the two.
- Cavo Paradiso — the cliff-top open-air club ABOVE Paradise Beach, one of the most iconic after-hours venues in the world, with a global DJ programme that starts at 23:00 and runs until dawn. Cavo's 2026 summer programme is fully live at cavoparadiso.gr/events_calendar — events confirmed from May 16, 2026 with DJ nights running multiple nights weekly through September.
The Booking System
Tables, VIP, and General Access
Paradise Beach Club operates a clear and accessible booking system that removes the anxiety of the Mykonos table reservation culture:
How to book:
- Go to paradiseclubmykonos.com/booking
- Select your date and choose between day party or night party
- Choose a table or VIP booth
- Pay a small deposit — the remaining amount is paid on arrival
Table hold policy: Tables are held for 45 minutes from the official party start (16:00 for day party, 21:00 for night party) — arrive within that window or the table may be released.
VIP booths give the highest table position, dedicated bottle service, and the best sightline to the DJ booth and dance floor.
Getting to Paradise Beach Club
Easy Access from Mykonos Town and Beyond
- From Mykonos Town (Chora): Approximately 10 to 15 minutes by taxi (approximately 5 km via the south coast road) — taxis from Fabrika Square in Chora run regularly to the south coast beaches throughout the summer.
- Water taxi from Platys Gialos: Approximately 5 to 10 minutes — the south coast water taxi circuit connects Ornos, Platys Gialos, Paraga, Paradise, and Super Paradise beaches throughout the day and evening.
- From Mykonos Airport (JMK): Approximately 10 to 15 minutes by taxi — the airport is on the island's south side, close to the Paradise Beach corridor.
- From Mykonos Town on foot: Not recommended — the road between Chora and the south beaches is narrow and lacks pedestrian infrastructure; taxis and water taxis are the standard transport options.
International arrival: Mykonos Island National Airport (JMK) receives direct scheduled and charter flights from Athens (35 min on Aegean/Olympic), and direct European summer routes from London, Amsterdam, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt, and all major European cities.
Practical Tips for Paradise Beach Club 2026
Make the Most of Your Visit
- Book at paradiseclubmykonos.com — the full 2026 summer events calendar is now live. Book as far in advance as possible for July and August peak dates, which fill earliest.
- The Day Party (16:00) is the hidden gem — the afternoon session captures the best Mykonos light, the most relaxed crowd energy, and the full Aegean sunset without the later-night intensity and noise levels of the night session. For first-timers or visitors who want the beach club experience without the late-night commitment, the day party is the better format.
- The Night Party (22:00) — the full club energy, headline DJs, and the most intense and most internationally mixed crowd of the daily programme.
- Arrive within 45 minutes of the party start — the table hold policy means late arrivals risk losing their reserved table.
- The south coast combo day — arrive at Super Paradise at noon for the resident DJ pool party, move to Paradise Beach Club for the 16:00 day party, continue into the night party, then finish at Cavo Paradiso (23:00 – dawn) for the full south coast experience in a single day.
- On Black Coffee Mondays — if you are on the island for a Monday in July or August, the SantAnna residency (18:00–00:00 at Paraga, 2 minutes from Paradise) and the Paradise Beach Club night party (22:00) are the two closest and most complementary south coast events to combine on the same evening.
- Water taxi is the most pleasant transport to and from the south beaches in the evening — the boat ride back to Platys Gialos under the Mykonos stars after a night at Paradise is one of the island's most quietly beautiful experiences.
