All three beaches have sunset parties, starting around 6pm, but it is Paradise Beach's Paradise Club, with its gigantic swimming pool in the middle of the club, that steals the show with its nightly fireworks and a wild party that lasts until midnight.

Nightlife in Mykonos follows a distinct "late-start" Mediterranean rhythm. While beach clubs like Paradise and Super Paradise start pumping music as early as 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM (often called the "sunset session"), the actual "night" scene in Mykonos Town (Chora) doesn't truly begin until after midnight. Most people dine between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM, after which they might have a casual drink in the Little Venice area. The famous "clubbing" scene—where international DJs perform at venues like Cavo Paradiso or Void—doesn't usually hit its peak until 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM. In 2026, it is common to see the streets of Chora packed with people moving between bars until sunrise. If you arrive at a major club at 11:00 PM, you will likely find it empty or just beginning to set up. To survive the Mykonos schedule, the "siesta" is essential; locals and seasoned travelers typically nap in the late afternoon so they can stay out until 7:00 AM the following morning, often ending the night with a sunrise breakfast by the harbor.
