Introducing: The Nauti Anchor List ⚓ Our First 3-Anchor Pick is... MYK

We’ve all been there. You’re endlessly scrolling, dreaming of your next trip, but you're getting lost in the noise of a thousand "top 10" lists that all say the same thing. They tell you where to go, but they never tell you about the vibe.

Where's the spot to be seen? Where are the cocktails legendary? Where can you really let loose and live your best, most fabulous life?

We’re done with boring travel guides. That's why we’re launching The Nauti Anchor List.

What is The Nauti Anchor List?

Forget fussy stars or 10-point scales. The Nauti Anchor List is our official, highly-curated guide to the world's most incredible destinations, all rated with a simple system: The Nauti Anchor Rating.

Think of it like the Michelin Guide, but for the perfect "Nauti" life.

Here's how it works:

• ⚓ (1 Anchor): Nauti-Approved

• What it means: A total vibe. This spot is trendy, gorgeous, and has all the right ingredients (good drinks, great views, cool people). Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

• ⚓⚓ (2 Anchors): Must-Visit

• What it means: A true destination. This place is top-tier and worth planning your trip around. The scene, the style, and the "Nauti" factor are all exceptional.

• ⚓⚓⚓ (3 Anchors): The Ultimate Nauti Experience

• What it means: Bucket list, legendary status. This is one of the Nautiest places on Earth, period. A destination so iconic, it's worth a special journey all on its own.

The First Inductee: Mykonos, Greece

To launch our list, we had to start at the very top. We had to choose the one place that defines the Nauti lifestyle.

So, the first destination to ever receive our highest honor is, of course, the queen of them all: MYKONOS, GREECE.

The Ultimate Nauti Experience

Earning 3 Anchors isn't easy, but Mykonos makes it look effortless. This isn't just a trip; it's a rite of passage. Here’s why it gets our top honor:

1. The Vibe is Legendary

Mykonos is the vibe. It's an island that operates on its own energy, somewhere between sun-drenched bliss and a full-blown party. It's the iconic sunset rituals at Scorpios that feel almost spiritual. It's the champagne-fueled afternoons at Nammos where dancing on the tables isn't just allowed, it's expected. The energy is chic, it's wild, and it's absolutely unmatched.

2. The Style Factor is a 10/10

This is not the place to "pack light." Mykonos is an unofficial runway. It’s designer kaftans over bold bikinis, body chains glinting in the sun, and yes, probably heels at the beach club. Everyone brings their best, and the people-watching alone is worth the trip. You don't just go to Mykonos—you dress for it.

3. The "Nauti" Factor is Off the Charts

Above all, Mykonos is the queen of being Nauti. It's an island built on pleasure, where the party starts at 4 PM and the memories (or lack thereof) last a lifetime. It’s the "if you know, you know" feeling of finding an exclusive party or watching the sunrise from Cavo Paradiso. This is the place to be unapologetically yourself, let loose, and have the kind of fun you'll be talking about for years.

⚓ Where to Drop Anchor: The Mykonos Venue Ratings

This list contains the venues that define the Mykonos experience—from the spiritual sunset rituals to the champagne-fueled, sunrise-dancing ragers. These are the places that make Mykonos a true rite of passage.

It's an immersive experience and an absolute Nauti pilgrimage.
Nammos	⚓⚓⚓ Ultimate Nauti Experience	Bucket list. Legendary.	The original queen of lavish, over-the-top beach culture. This is where designer kaftans meet champagne showers and dancing on tables. It's synonymous with A-list celebrity spotting and unapologetic, high-roller fun. The style, scene, and "Nauti" factor are the blueprint for the entire island.
Cavo Paradiso	⚓⚓⚓ Ultimate Nauti Experience	Bucket list. Legendary.	Perched on a cliff overlooking Paradise Beach, this legendary open-air club is the ultimate destination for the serious party anchor drop. It hosts world-class DJswho play until sunrise, giving you that iconic "dancing until dawn" moment. It’s a pure, unadulterated Nauti rite of passage.
Principote	⚓⚓ Must-Visit	Plan your trip around it.	One of the most opulent and polished beach clubs, known for its sheer exclusivity and stunning aesthetics on Panormos Beach.

180° Sunset Bar	⚓ Nauti-Approved	A total vibe.	Located high above Mykonos Town, this open-air bar offers the most breathtaking, panoramic sunset view on the island. It's the perfect spot for pre-dinner drinks and is a total vibe for an elevated, chic photography moment.
Astra	⚓ Nauti-Approved	A total vibe.	Tucked away in Mykonos Town, this celebrity-favorite bar is the quintessential "late-night living room" of the island. It’s a guaranteed cool crowd and a stylish place to start or end the night after the big beach clubs shut down.

Mykonos has set the bar high, but we'll be dropping more destinations on the Nauti Anchor List very soon.
