Mykonos: Super Paradise Beach with Sunbed at Thalas Mykonos
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Thalas Mykonos · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Mykonos beach days get crowded fast, so this fixes the main problem. A prebooked sunbed at Thalas means you skip the scramble at Super Paradise Beach and show up to a spot that is ready for you. You’ll also get the convenience of a barefoot beach tavern right where you’re sunbathing, so your day runs smoothly from towel-to-swim.
What I like most is simple: the sunbed is reserved in the row you choose (up to the 8th row, plus back-row options), and you can use it for the entire day with no time limit. I also love the little perks at Thalas, like access to facilities and the option for a fluffy beach towel if you book the 1st or 2nd row.
One thing to consider: Super Paradise is not a sand beach. Expect pebbles and rocks underfoot, and you may want water shoes for easier entry and a calmer time in the shallows.

Key things to know before you go

- Arrive between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon to keep your sunbed category. After that, reservations may be released.
- Choose your row (1st to 8th row, plus back rows) so you can match your vibe, from front-row views to more relaxed distance.
- First and second row come with beach towels. Other rows don’t include towel service.
- No food or drinks are included, but you can order Greek bites and drinks right on the beach.
- Plan for rocks and pebbles. This beach works best when you’re prepared with water shoes.
- Sunbed access is all day, so you can swim, eat, and return without rushing.
Super Paradise Beach sunbed with Thalas: what you’re really paying for

This is a Mykonos beach club setup with one goal: remove friction from a place that can feel like controlled chaos. Super Paradise Beach is famous for a reason—clear water, strong beach energy, and plenty of people all wanting the same perfect spot. A standard “show up and find a place” plan often turns into shade hunting and last-minute compromises.
By reserving your sunbed through Thalas on Super Paradise Beach, you pay for predictability. You choose a row, you arrive in the window they give you, and your day starts already settled. That’s a big deal in Mykonos, where time and comfort can cost you a lot if you wing it.
The other thing you’re paying for is convenience. Thalas is a barefoot tavern and beach area attached to the beach scene, with services for drinks and food while you’re on your lounger. You’re not constantly walking back and forth for basic needs. You get to lounge first, then swim, then snack—repeat.

Finding Thalas on the beach: Super vs Paradise confusion

Here’s a real-world detail that matters: there is Paradise Beach and Super Paradise Beach, and it’s easy to mix them up when you’re heading out. Your taxi should drop you at Super Paradise Beach area, since that’s where Thalas operates.
Once you’re there, getting to the right exact spot can take a minute. Signage isn’t always the clearest, so I’d treat this as a “follow staff or walk the beach club entrances” situation. A lot of people end up walking through the Super Paradise beach club area to reach Thalas, especially if they arrived by bus or are trying to navigate on their own.
Practical advice:
- If you’re prone to stress, use a taxi for arrival and keep your first goal simple: reach Super Paradise Beach, then orient from there.
- If you’re coming by bus, give yourself a few extra minutes to orient.
Rows, towels, and the whole-day comfort plan

Thalas lets you reserve a sunbed in a row you pick, from 1st row through 8th row and also options further back. That row choice is not just about distance—it’s about the feel of your beach day.
- 1st and 2nd rows: best for prime positioning. You also get included beach towels here, which means you don’t have to carry towels around the beach like a stressed-out backpacker.
- Middle rows: often a sweet spot if you want comfort without the front-row intensity.
- Back rows: good if you prefer a calmer pace and don’t need to be right at the most eye-catching vantage points.
The sunbed use is for the entire day, with no time limit. That’s valuable if you’re the type who likes to swim, eat, then come back to your chair when the sun shifts. It also reduces pressure. You can take your time instead of doing a frantic 2-hour beach sprint.
One more timing rule matters a lot: you must arrive between 10:00 AM and 12:00 noon for your reservation. They state that if you arrive later, they release reservations and move to first come, first served. They may try to accommodate you if there’s availability, but you can’t count on getting the same row category.
So yes, this is a “flexible beach day”—but only if you respect that arrival window.
Swimming in clear water: great for photos, better for planning

The star of Super Paradise Beach is the water. The water looks good, and it’s clear enough that swimming feels like part of the spectacle. You’ll be right where you can jump in and out when you want.
Still, plan for the beach surface. The beach is rocky and pebbly, not sand. Reviews and experience-style feedback point to this as the main physical downside: getting into the ocean can be tricky, and the stones can be slippery.
What to do with that:
- Bring water shoes if you want an easier entry.
- If you’re sensitive to cold water, remember that sea temperature can surprise you. One common comment is that the water can feel cold enough that you might not stay in as long at first.
Food, drinks, and service at Thalas: snack without the back-and-forth
This isn’t a self-cater beach. Your sunbed includes access to facilities, but food and drinks aren’t included. That said, the setup is designed for exactly what you want at the beach: order, wait less, and keep relaxing.
Thalas operates as a barefoot tavern, with Greek delights available right on site. You can typically order drinks and food while you stay at your lounger, which is one of the reasons this format feels easier than grabbing a sunbed somewhere random and then trying to solve the food problem later.
If you care about the meal angle, focus on tapas and shareables. There’s a strong theme in feedback about enjoying the restaurant offerings, including tapas for two, and also filling dishes like pasta with very large shrimp. People also note bottle service as part of the overall beach club vibe.
Price note: drinks can cost more than you’d pay off-beach. Many visitors describe the drinks as on the pricey side, even while saying service and overall value are good. So my advice is to treat this like a beach club experience: enjoy what you want, but don’t assume it’s a cheap all-inclusive day.
Value on Mykonos: does $23 buy a smart day?

At $23 per person for a one-day sunbed rental, this is often a better deal than it looks at first glance—mainly because you’re buying a reserved spot and the beach club convenience that goes with it.
Here’s how I think about value on Mykonos:
- If you show up without a reservation, you may end up paying more later or settling for a worse row.
- The cost of time matters. When you waste an hour searching, you lose swim time and food opportunities.
- Reserved seating + on-site facilities can save you hassle that you’d otherwise handle with extra planning, walking, and decision-making.
You also get access to Thalas facilities as part of the rental. If you land a row with towel service (1st/2nd row), that’s another small but real money-saver in a place where you might otherwise end up buying things you didn’t plan to buy.
My cautious take: if your goal is a minimal-spend, wander-anywhere beach day, then any reserved beach club can feel like more than you need. But if you want comfort, predictable placement, and an easy day, this tends to be a smart use of your budget.
Also, the feedback score is strong: 4.6 out of 5 from over a thousand reviews. That doesn’t guarantee perfection, but it does suggest the basic formula works.
Getting there from Mykonos Town: taxi is the easiest bet
The meeting point guidance is straightforward: you can reach Super Paradise Beach by taxi. That matters because it cuts through confusion and helps you arrive in the correct window.
If you’re coming from Mykonos Town:
- Expect some logistics time. Leave buffer for traffic and getting oriented once you arrive.
- Aim to be at Super Paradise Beach well before the latest arrival time. If you’re cutting it close, you risk losing your reserved category.
Remember: the whole system depends on you arriving on time. The day isn’t time-limited once you’re set, but the reservation protection is tied to that midday arrival window.
Rules and small practical notes that protect your day

Thalas lays down basic beach rules. It’s mostly about keeping the beach pleasant and the experience smooth.
What they specify:
- Avoid littering.
- Don’t bring a cooler.
- No unaccompanied minors.
- No fires.
And bring:
- Beachwear.
These aren’t complicated rules, but they’re worth respecting so your beach day stays low-stress and you don’t end up dealing with staff politely asking you to adjust.
Who should book this sunbed at Thalas, and who might skip it

This booking style fits best when you want:
- A relaxing beach day without shade searching.
- A reserved spot in a specific row.
- A beach club base where you can eat and drink without walking far.
- An all-day plan centered on swimming and lounging.
It’s especially good for couples, friends, and small groups who want a calm rhythm: chair, swim, snack, repeat. Service and staff friendliness show up often in feedback, and the ability to order right to your chair supports that slower pace.
You might consider a different plan if:
- You absolutely hate rocky beaches and don’t want to deal with water shoes.
- You want a super budget day with no beach club-style food and drink spend.
- You can’t reliably arrive by 12:00 noon, because late arrival affects your row category.
Should you book Thalas on Super Paradise Beach?
Yes—if your priority is comfort plus certainty. A reserved sunbed at Thalas helps you lock in a good location and spend less time negotiating the beach. The all-day use, access to facilities, and the option for towels on the front rows make it feel practical, not just fancy.
No—if you’re traveling with a very strict budget and you’re happy to handle shade hunting and extra walking. Also skip it if you know you’ll arrive late. This experience is built on a reservation that has to be met by a clear time window.
If you want an easy, enjoyable Mykonos beach day with less stress and more lounging, this is one of the simplest ways to buy that outcome—especially on a peak beach like Super Paradise.
