About Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, Mykonos
Santa Marina occupies its own peninsula on Ornos Bay, with the only private sand on Mykonos, and it is the answer when a Mykonos wedding is large enough that a boutique hotel cannot hold it.
There are 117 rooms, suites and villas across the gardens, two infinity pools and a run of venues along the water: Buddha-Bar Beach sitting right on the sea, the Elais restaurant, the poolside terraces and the beach lounge.
That spread is the useful part.
A ceremony on the sand, drinks by a pool and dinner in a different room is one wedding on one property, with no coaches between them, which is unusual on this island.

Nothing is reserved until the venue confirms. A first note comes back within two business days.
The Santa Marina Resort and Spa is a dream escape come true. From the moment my husband and I were welcomed at the Mykonos port, up until our dropped off, the staff lavished us with genuine detailed oriented service and attention.

Questions about the venue
How many wedding guests can Santa Marina hold?+
Santa Marina does not publish a seated wedding capacity. With 117 keys and several waterfront venues it is one of the larger options on Mykonos, and we plan around roughly 200 as an upper estimate. Ask the resort for the figure attached to your date and layout.
Is the beach really private?+
The resort is built on a peninsula and describes its beaches as the only private ones on Mykonos. That is the practical difference against a beach-club wedding, where the public and the day-bed trade are part of the setting whether you want them or not.
What does a Mykonos wedding at this level cost?+
Planner guidance for 2026 puts 50 to 80 guests on Mykonos at roughly €30,000 to €70,000 and 100 or more at €60,000 to €150,000 and up. A resort of this tier sits at the top of those bands. Ask Santa Marina for a proposal rather than working from a range.
Can we hold the ceremony, drinks and dinner in different places?+
Yes, and it is the reason to choose this property. Buddha-Bar Beach sits on the water, the poolside terraces and beach lounge are a short walk away, and Elais is a separate room, so a three-part evening happens without moving anyone off site.
How far is the resort from Mykonos airport?+
Ornos is about 4 km from Mykonos (JMK) airport, roughly 10 to 15 minutes by car. The new port at Tourlos is about 15 minutes, and Mykonos Town is around 10 minutes, so guest logistics are short in every direction.
Could this be your venue?
Ask about your plans, pricing and availability. You do not need a fixed date yet.
