The beach club hosts a regular programme of international DJs, events and festivals throughout the year as well as sunset drag shows starring JackieO’ resident Priscilla every night at around 7pm.
Inspired by its surroundings, JackieO’ offers a minimal aesthetic defined by a muted colour scheme and the sensual curves of the island. The curvacious loops and arcs that make up the beach club were hand-sculpted by co-owner Carsten Stehr using traditional Cycladic white washed cement and stone. The Jackie O’ Beach Club offers some of the best views in Mykonos, with the Jackie O’ flag overlooking the Aegean Sea being one of the most Instagrammed spots on the island.
