Mykonos has been the center of the Mediterranean summer for long enough that the island has developed two distinct audiences. One comes for the myth of it — the windmills, the whitewashed streets, the reputation. The other comes for what the island actually delivers at its best: a beach club on a southern peninsula called Scorpios, a sunset that turns the Aegean the color of embers, and barefoot dancing that runs until the stars come out. If you're reading this, you're the second kind of traveler.
TL;DR: Scorpios Mykonos opens May 10 for the 2026 season with its strongest music programme to date — Peggy Gou, &ME, Adam Port, Bedouin, Carlita, Dixon, Damian Lazarus, WhoMadeWho, Rampa, and Michael Bibi among the headline acts, running May through October 4. The club sits above Paraga Beach on Mykonos's southern coast, with a restaurant serving 1:30–11pm, Sunset Rituals from 5:30pm daily, and music events Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday evenings. Plan around a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday. Book the restaurant before you arrive. Stay close to the southern beaches.
What makes Scorpios different from every other beach club in Greece?
The honest answer is that Scorpios doesn't operate like a beach club. The category doesn't quite fit. It's part restaurant, part music venue, part ritual — the sunset ceremony that happens at Scorpios Beach at 5:30pm every day has become one of the defining experiences of the European summer, a moment when the crowd goes quiet in the way that only happens when something extraordinary is actually occurring. Valeron and his band have been part of the DNA of this place for years; what Scorpios has built around live music, Afro-organic house, and the specific emotional temperature of a Mediterranean evening is genuinely its own thing.
The spaces are organized around three areas: the Restaurant, which spills onto communal tables and open terraces; the Terrace, elevated above Paraga Beach with uninterrupted sea views that transition into higher-vibration music in the evenings; and Scorpios Beach itself, where the Sunset Rituals begin at 5:30pm and the barefoot dancing runs into the night. The Bazaar — a handwoven bedouin tent with a curated edit of artisan brands — sits nearby for those who want something to take home other than the memory.
The 2026 music programme — who's playing and when to go
Scorpios released the full 2026 music programme in March, and it's the most significant lineup the venue has assembled. The season opens May 10 with Reznik and Jean Claude Ades and closes October 4 with a WhoMadeWho hybrid DJ set alongside Jean Claude Ades and Lannka.
The marquee nights to plan around:
Peggy Gou plays July 21. This is the night that will be hardest to get a table for — plan accordingly. Dixon on July 16. &ME on July 28. Innervisions Mykonos on July 30 brings Âme DJ, Dixon, Jimi Jules, Julya Karma, and Trikk together for what will be one of the defining nights of the summer in Europe — not just at Scorpios, but anywhere. Adam Port on August 16. Michael Bibi on August 6. Rampa on August 4. Carlita appears twice — June 14 and July 26.
Resident artists Jean Claude Ades, Lannka, Valeron & Band, and Little D anchor the weekly programme on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays throughout the season. If you're not there for a specific headliner, any Thursday or Sunday in July or August with Valeron is the reliable standard. His sound — live percussion woven through electronic production — is what Scorpios sounds like when it's being most itself.
What to eat, and how the restaurant works
The restaurant at Scorpios is open 1:30pm to 11pm daily. The menu is built on Greek ingredients with Mediterranean and Oriental influences — sharing plates, communal tables, the philosophy that food is a social act rather than a transaction. It is outdoor only. The view from your table looks out over the Aegean. On a warm July evening with the right company, it is one of the best places to eat in Greece.
Prices are high by Greek standards and consistent with what you'd expect from a venue at this level — appetizers from €20–€45, mains from €30–€75 for seafood. Budget accordingly, or come specifically for the Sunset Ritual and a drink rather than a full meal. Both approaches work. The restaurant approach requires a reservation made well in advance.
Where to stay — the right base for Scorpios
Scorpios is on the southern coast, between Paraga Beach and Agia Anna. The properties worth knowing in proximity to it:
Soho Roc House is a stone's throw from Scorpios — Soho House's Mykonos outpost shares the same stretch of southern coastline, the same aesthetic sensibility, and the same crowd. If you're going to Scorpios more than once, this is the obvious base. Mykonos Blu (Grecotel) sits on Psarou Beach — one of the most tightly managed, visually striking beaches on the island, a few minutes from Scorpios and home to Nammos, the other great Mykonos beach institution. Cavo Tagoo is the landmark luxury hotel in Mykonos Town — further from Scorpios but worth knowing if you want the best address on the island with easy cab or boat access to everywhere else. Bill & Coo offers an adults-only private beach experience at Agios Ioannis with one of the better fine dining restaurants on the island.

What You Actually Want to Know
When does Scorpios Mykonos open in 2026?
May 10, 2026. The season runs through October 4, which is the closing party featuring WhoMadeWho, Jean Claude Ades, Lannka, and Little D.
How do reservations work at Scorpios Mykonos?
Tables at the restaurant and reserved spaces at Sunset Beach can be booked through scorpios.com. For headline nights — Peggy Gou, Dixon, Innervisions, Michael Bibi — tables move quickly as soon as they're released. If you're planning around a specific date, book the moment reservations open rather than waiting until your trip is confirmed.
What is the Sunset Ritual at Scorpios?
A daily music ceremony beginning at 5:30pm at Scorpios Beach. Resident artists and guest DJs play live sets as the sun sets over the Aegean. It is the moment the venue is most itself — the crowd goes still, the music builds, and the evening begins. On music nights, it flows directly into the full evening programme.
What are the best dates to visit Scorpios in 2026?
For music: July 30 (Innervisions with Âme, Dixon, Jimi Jules), July 21 (Peggy Gou), August 4 (Rampa), August 6 (Michael Bibi), August 16 (Adam Port). For atmosphere without the crowds: any Thursday or Sunday in late May or early June when the season is fresh and tables are easier to secure.
How do you get to Scorpios from Mykonos Town?
Taxi or private car, roughly 10–15 minutes. Water taxis also run from the Old Port to the southern beaches in season. The venue has its own parking.
Noon's advisors can build the full Mykonos trip around Scorpios — right hotel, right nights, reservations handled before you land. The difference between a good trip and a great one usually comes down to one conversation. That's what we do.
