About Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort
Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, sits on its own private peninsula on Mykonos with a dedicated on-property helipad — one of the most direct private aviation arrivals available anywhere in the Cyclades. A charter flight from Athens reaches Mykonos in approximately 37 minutes, while guests departing from Santorini land in roughly 31 minutes, bypassing ferry schedules and island road congestion entirely. The resort's 105 rooms and villas command sweeping Aegean views, and the helipad placement means the transition from aircraft to villa is measured in steps rather than hours. HeliGreece arranges the full helicopter rental, coordinating with licensed operators to match aircraft type to group size and luggage allowance. Whether this is a one-way helicopter transfer Mykonos or part of a broader island-hopping itinerary, the booking process is handled as a single, seamless arrangement — leaving guests free to focus on the arrival itself rather than the logistics behind it.
Why choose Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort
Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, is one of very few properties in the Cyclades offering a direct on-property helipad, making it an exceptional match for VIP travel by air. Guests avoid shared transfer vehicles and public arrival points entirely. HeliGreece coordinates helicopter rental with vetted operators, handling scheduling and aircraft selection so that the aerial transfer complements the resort's own standard of personalised service from the first moment of arrival.
Helicopter transfer
Upon arrival at Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort, guests step directly from the helicopter onto the property's own helipad, with the resort's shoreline and villa terraces immediately in view. This on-site landing point is a rare feature in Mykonos, eliminating any intermediate journey between aircraft and accommodation. The resort team receives guests at the helipad, making the handover from private flight to Luxury Collection hospitality as fluid as the Aegean horizon beyond.
Why fly private instead of the ferry
Reaching Mykonos by ferry from Athens involves a journey of several hours, and even fast-boat connections demand significant time at port. A private flight from Athens covers the same distance in around 37 minutes, while the route from Santorini takes approximately 31 minutes. Crucially, Santa Marina's on-property helipad means there is no secondary road transfer once the aircraft lands — guests arrive directly within the resort boundary. For those combining multiple islands in a single trip, the helicopter transfer Mykonos leg integrates naturally into a broader charter itinerary, keeping island-hopping efficient without sacrificing comfort.
Best time to visit
May, June, and September offer the most balanced conditions for flying into Mykonos — settled Aegean weather, comfortable temperatures, and lighter crowds at the resort than the peak-August rush. July and August guarantee sunshine but bring the Meltemi wind, which operators monitor carefully before each flight. Early October remains warm enough for outdoor dining and swimming, and the island's character shifts to something quieter and more intimate, well suited to the atmosphere Santa Marina cultivates across its villas.
