Mykonos: Super Paradise Beach with Sunbed at Thalas Mykonos

Mykonos beaches sell out fast. This Super Paradise Beach day is all about removing the scramble, with a reserved sunbed at Thalas so you can get straight to relaxing on the most famous stretch of sand-adjacent chaos. I like the prebooked sunbed that saves you from arriving and hunting, and I like that you can use the beach bar and barefoot tavern right from your chair. One thing to plan for, the shoreline is rocky and pebbly, so you will want water shoes.

For about $23 per person, you are paying for time and comfort, not just a chair. Towels are included only in the first and second rows, and you will pay for food and drinks separately, but the convenience is real.

Timing matters here. You need to arrive between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon, because after 12:00 the reservation is released and you cannot count on the same row if you show up late.

Key things worth knowing before you go

• Reserved sunbeds on Super Paradise Beach so you skip the queue feeling.
• Row choice from 1st to 8th row (and back), letting you trade shade and closeness for space.
• Thalas barefoot tavern and beach bar access with service near your lounger.
• Towels included only for 1st and 2nd rows, including fluffy beach towel perks.
• No time limit on the sunbed, so you can take your day slow.

Thalas at Super Paradise: what your booked chair really buys you

This is not a tour with stops and a tight schedule. It is a beach-day setup, with one main prize: you show up to Super Paradise Beach and you already have a spot. That one detail matters on Mykonos, where the busiest beaches can feel like a game of musical chairs.

The reservation is tied to Thalas, a barefoot beach club and tavern right on the beach. Your sunbed is reserved for you for the full day, with no time limit, so you can stretch the afternoon out, go for a swim, come back, and not feel like you are on the clock.

You are also buying smoother access to the good stuff: drinks, snacks, and meals are available right at the beach bar or tavern, rather than you constantly walking away from your chair. That is the value, especially if you just want a clean, easy day.

The most important thing to understand up front is this: food and drinks are not included. You can absolutely have a full day of eating and sipping, but it is pay-as-you-go.

Arrival timing and how to get there without stressing

You reach Super Paradise Beach by taxi. That is the simple part, and it is usually the fastest way to avoid extra walking and confusion along the way.

The part that can trip you up is timing. You must arrive between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon for your sunbed reservation. If you arrive after 12:00, reservations are released and the setup becomes first come, first served. They will try to accommodate you if you are late, but it may not be the same row category you booked.

Practical tip: treat 12:00 noon like a hard stop for planning. Build buffer time so you are not rushing off the taxi, hunting for the right entrance, and hoping your spot is still yours.

There is also a signage reality. Getting from the broader Super Paradise area to Thalas can be a little confusing depending on how you arrive. If you come by bus from Mykonos Town, you may end up walking through the Super Paradise Beach Club area to find Thalas. Plan a few extra minutes so you do not start your beach day frazzled.

Row choices (1st to 8th): picking shade, distance, and towel perks

You can choose the row category for your reservation, ranging from the 1st row all the way through the 8th row and back. The closer rows generally feel more “front seats” style, while the farther rows can give you a bit more breathing room.

Here is the towel detail that actually affects your day. Beach towels are included only for guests in the first or second row. If you want the convenience of not carrying a towel all day, pick those rows.

If you are not in the first two rows, you should assume you will need to bring your own towel or plan to deal without the included one. That is not a dealbreaker, but it changes the comfort level of the day.

So how do you pick your row? Think about two things:

• Do you want maximum closeness to the bar and easiest service?
• Do you care about the towel included perk?

If the answer is yes to either, you are likely happiest nearer the front.

A full day on Super Paradise: swimming and using Thalas like a pro

Once you are set up, the whole point is to live like the beach is your schedule. Your sunbed is for the entire day, with no time limit, so you can cycle through naps, swims, and food without that frantic “we only have a few hours” feeling.

Super Paradise is known for clear water. You can expect a bright, swimmable vibe once you get into the water. The beach clubs make it easy to spend the day without turning it into logistics.

The bar and tavern setup also changes how you eat. Instead of packing, finding tables, and repeating the process, you can order and enjoy beach-side convenience. If you like the idea of ordering tapas or a full meal and staying put, Thalas fits that style.

You should also expect drinks to cost extra. The overall value is still good for what you get, but it is not the place to assume Mykonos prices will magically disappear.

Sound and atmosphere are also part of the experience. Music tends to be chilled rather than blasting, which helps if you want relaxation instead of turning the beach into a party staging area.

The shoreline is rocky: water shoes are your best friend here

This is the drawback you should take seriously, because it affects how much you enjoy the water. The beach surface is not a classic soft sand entrance. It is made of rocks and pebbles, and getting into the ocean can be tricky and sometimes slippery.

That is why water shoes are such a smart move. They make entry safer and far more comfortable. Without them, you may find yourself limiting how long you stay in the water, or you may end up doing careful, step-by-step water access instead of easy splashing.

There is also a temperature reality. Even when the water is inviting, it can feel cold, especially if you come at a time when locals are talking about quick plunges. You can still swim, but do not plan on lingering in a way that assumes it will feel like a warm bath.

If you are traveling with kids or anyone who dislikes rocky entries, plan for extra care, because the beach itself is not built for bare-foot wandering.

Price and value: why $23 feels fair for Mykonos

At $23 per person for the sunbed rental, this can be one of the more straightforward deals on a pricey island. You are paying for reserved comfort, for staying power, and for a beach-club experience where you do not have to keep checking for an open spot.

To judge value, look at what you would otherwise spend:

• Your time and stress arriving to a crowded beach
• The hassle of dragging around towels and gear
• Walking off to buy drinks or snacks and returning to find your spot still works

Here, you have a reserved chair and on-site facilities. You can order food and drinks without leaving the beach zone, and you can keep the same setup for the day.

Yes, food and drinks cost extra. That is normal for Mykonos. But people typically feel the pricing is reasonable compared with other beach options, especially when you factor in service and comfort.

Also note: sunbed quality is a big deal at Thalas. The loungers are widely praised for comfort and setup quality, so you are not just paying to sit on a flat plank.

If you want your beach day to be low-drama, this is the kind of value that pays you back in your mood.

Service style at Thalas: friendly, efficient, and not too complicated

The best part of beach clubs is how smoothly they run. At Thalas, the service tends to be friendly and helpful, with staff who make it easy to order and get what you need while you stay planted at your lounger.

When you have a reserved spot, you should expect staff to take the “we’ve got you” approach: bringing essentials to you, keeping the setup clean, and making it feel like your day is simple. That is exactly what you want when the beach is busy.

A small detail that matters: front-row seating gets extra love, and people often mention the ease of not carrying a towel around when the included towel perk is active. If you are the type who hates carrying stuff, this is worth planning for.

Who this suits best, and who should skip it

This sunbed reservation is perfect if you want:

• A relaxed Mykonos beach day with minimal logistics
• A reserved chair so you can stop worrying
• Access to Thalas for drinks, snacks, and meals

It is also a good pick if you are traveling in a small group and want your own beach setup rather than a shared space with a time slot that makes you feel rushed.

You might consider a different plan if:

• You hate rocky, pebbly shorelines and do not want to use water shoes
• You plan to arrive late and are not comfortable with potential row changes after 12:00 noon
• You want all-inclusive food and drinks (this one is not that)

Should you book Thalas Super Paradise Beach with a sunbed?

Book it if your priority is a smooth, reserved beach day. If you want to spend your time swimming and relaxing rather than scanning the sand for an opening, the prebooked sunbed is the whole point, and it is worth it.

Skip it or plan differently if rocky entry is a dealbreaker for you. Super Paradise is famous, but it is not a soft, barefoot paradise at the waterline. Bring water shoes, arrive on time, and you will get a much better day.

My final advice: if you are choosing rows, think about comfort perks. If you want the included fluffy beach towel and the easiest experience, aim for the first or second row. If you are okay with managing your own towel, you can save effort by choosing the row that fits your vibe.
