About Cavo Paradiso

Cavo Paradiso is an open-air club on the edge of a cliff above Paradise Beach on Mykonos, looking out over the Aegean towards the island of Delos. It opened in 1993, founded by Mykonos native Nikos Daktylides, and grew from a simple outdoor bar into a large venue built mainly from locally sourced materials over three decades of work on the hillside.

The club runs from spring to late September, with nights from 23:00 until 07:00, so many sets end at sunrise. Summer 2026 mixed resident nights with guest headliners across house, tech house, afro house, techno and bigger EDM names, from Richie Hawtin and Nina Kraviz to Dom Dolla, Meduza and Robin Schulz. There is a raised VIP Area 100 above the dancefloor, a sushi bar inside the club and a floating platform for arrivals by sea. Cavo Paradiso also runs its own label, Cavo Paradiso Records.
