Scorpios

Beach Bar Experiences

 

Built around a contemporary interpretation of the ancient Greek agora, Skorpios is a gathering place meant to galvanise the artistic, spiritual and social life of its community. On a sun-drenched southern tip of Mykonos our organic stretch of coastline is a welcoming place where horizons of blue mix with yellow, golds and pinks born of the generous Cycladic sun.

 

 

Fresh, regional ingredients drive our simple, modern approach in the kitchen where the focus is on purity, authenticity, and the reinterpretation of iconic recipes. Scorpios embraces the Mediterranean diet not just as a culinary mode but as a lifestyle. It’s the food. It’s the rituals. It’s getting fresh air, sunshine and the right kind of exercise. We adhere to the Mediterranean diet not merely because we are in Greece. Tested over the centuries it is proven to be one of the world’s most wholesome and satisfying ways of eating.

Locally informed cuisine revered by those who know the island—food is a lifestyle, the kind that resonates deeply with the notion of Scorpios as a communal domain. Furnished with large, communal tables, our beachfront open-air, open-plan restaurant is thoughtfully designed to accommodate and advocate our core philosophies.

Alexis Zopas, a nationally acclaimed chef who helms the kitchen at Scorpios, focuses on carefully sourced, holistic cuisine, presenting simple, refined dishes that are infused with a Greek provenance yet bear the mark of Mediterranean and Oriental influences. Dishes such as seafood ceviche with chili, coriander and green olive oil are served on large plates—ideal for a long, leisurely family-style meal.

 

 

Music can be the gateway to transcendental possibilities and greater spiritual connection. As we continue to bring musical traditions together for cross-cultural experimentation, we also believe it’s important to take time to listen and not only to create. Quietude holds its virtues. This is an idea we look forward to experimenting with more this season as we give a platform to peripheral underground artists and established names with our more pared back music rituals and eclectic sounds. We welcome them to the forefront this season to set the tone for the future sounds of Scorpios.

 

 

A constant exploration of mind-body wisdom, creative expression, and positive transformation through movement, meditation, listening, and learning from our community of experts from various traditions and disciplines—this is the Scorpios ethos that guides our daily lives.

There are myriad conduits through which one can introspect, connect, and learn about mindfulness practices old and new. It takes patience, a keen ear, and the openness to connect with one’s body, mind, and the fellow spirits around you.

These ideas will be converted into the digital space for this season, as we pause our onsite mindfulness practices in consideration of the current regulations.
