Paradise Club
Paradise Club is the original party venue on Paradise Beach, running organized beach events since the 1970s. The open-air dance floor sits directly on the sand with a DJ booth facing the sea. During the day, it functions as a beach bar with sunbed service and drinks. By late afternoon, the DJ sets intensify and the transition to party mode begins. From June through September, themed events and international DJ bookings drive the programming. The beach setting means you're dancing barefoot on sand with the Aegean as a backdrop. Sunbed rental runs EUR 10 to 20 depending on proximity to the action. Cocktails are EUR 12 to 16, beer EUR 8 to 10. Cover charges for evening events range from EUR 10 to 25. The crowd is young and international, predominantly in their 20s, with the energy of people who started drinking at noon and haven't stopped. The sound system is powerful enough for the outdoor space, though wind can affect the experience. The venue's long history gives it a certain credibility that newer competitors lack, and the brand is known globally among backpackers and party tourists.

Insider Tip
Arrive by early afternoon for the best sunbed positions. The party builds from 4 PM and peaks between 7 and 10 PM. If you're there for the evening events, buying drinks during the afternoon gets you positioned before the crowd surges. Bring a towel and secure your belongings in a locker.
Full Review
Paradise Club invented the Mykonos beach party, and decades later it still delivers the core experience. The open-air format, with the dance floor literally on the sand and the sea as a backdrop, creates a setting that indoor clubs can never replicate. There's something specific about dancing barefoot at sunset on a Greek beach that transcends the quality of the DJ or the cocktail.
The daytime beach bar operation is straightforward: rent a sunbed, order drinks, swim, repeat. The transition to party mode happens gradually through the afternoon, with the DJ building the energy from background to foreground. By 5 PM, people are standing on sunbeds and the dance area is filling. By 7 PM, it's a full party.
Drink prices are Mykonos-standard, which means expensive. Cocktails are sweet and strong, designed for beach consumption. Beer is the practical choice for a long session. The food options are limited to the basic beach bar menu. The crowd is young, international, and uniformly committed to having the best possible time.
Paradise Club's main competition now comes from Tropicana next door and the mega-clubs further up the cliff. What it offers that they don't is history and a specific barefoot-on-sand authenticity. The experience hasn't fundamentally changed in 50 years, and that consistency is both its limitation and its appeal. Come for the beach party archetype, and you'll find exactly that.
The Neighborhood
Paradise Club is on Paradise Beach, the most famous party beach in Mykonos. The beach has multiple venues competing for the crowd, with Tropicana next door and Cavo Paradiso on the cliff above. The beach is accessible by bus, boat, or taxi from Mykonos Town.
Getting There
Buses run from Mykonos Town bus station to Paradise Beach every 30 minutes during the day. Small boats also shuttle from the town harbor. Taxis cost about EUR 12 to 15. From the beach, the club is obvious; follow the music.
