About Royal Myconian
The Royal Myconian sits above Elia Beach, one of Mykonos's most celebrated stretches of coastline, and its on-property helipad makes it one of the island's most accessible luxury addresses by private aviation. A charter flight from Athens covers the Aegean crossing in roughly 38 minutes, while guests travelling from Santorini touch down in approximately 31 minutes — figures that reframe island hopping as a seamless part of the holiday rather than a logistical hurdle. The resort's 32 suites and villas occupy a Cycladic hillside setting that rewards an aerial approach: the geometry of whitewashed terraces, the deep blue of the pool, and the sweep of Elia Bay all come into focus before the aircraft descends. For travellers weighing a helicopter rental against the ferry crossing, the contrast is stark — not merely in flight time but in the quality of arrival itself. HeliGreece arranges the full charter, coordinating directly with the operator so the journey matches the standard of the destination.
Why choose Royal Myconian
Royal Myconian's on-property helipad is a genuine operational advantage: no airport ground time, no road transfer across a busy island, and no dilution of the arrival experience. The resort's elevated Elia Beach position means the final descent offers panoramic views of the southern coastline before guests step directly into the property. For a 32-suite luxury resort, that level of arrival precision is entirely consistent with what the accommodation itself promises.
Helicopter transfer
Upon arrival at Royal Myconian, the helipad delivers guests directly onto the property, eliminating any gap between aircraft and resort. The 32 suites and villas of this hillside retreat are steps away, meaning the transition from private flight to a chilled welcome drink is immediate and uninterrupted. That directness — aircraft to resort without intermediary logistics — is the defining quality of a helicopter transfer to this address.
Why fly private instead of the ferry
Ferry crossings to Mykonos from Santorini can consume the better part of a day once port transfers and sailing time are combined. A private flight reduces that same journey to roughly 31 minutes. From Athens, the comparison is equally clear: the ~38-minute aerial transfer replaces a sea voyage measured in hours. Beyond time savings, the Myconian Collection helipad at Elia Beach and Mykonos Airport both serve the island, but only the on-property option at Royal Myconian delivers guests without any intervening road leg — a distinction that matters when the resort itself is the destination.
Best time to visit
May through early July offers the clearest flying conditions in the Cyclades, with stable winds and long daylight hours that make the aerial approach to Elia Beach particularly striking. Late August and September remain popular for VIP travel, combining warm seas with slightly quieter skies. October is increasingly favoured by guests seeking the island at a gentler pace, and mild temperatures keep the helipad accessible well into autumn.
