The Best Place to Watch the Sunset in Mykonos

It sits on the Aegean Sea, an image of breathtaking, serene beauty and a land steeped in lore. This is Mykonos, eponymic of the island’s first ruler, a son of the King of Delos, and a grandson of the Olympian god Apollon. Legend has it the island rests on the petrified remains of giants that the hero Heracles (i.e., Hercules) lured out of Mount Olympus and killed.

Mykonos is a glittering jewel in the Cyclades, an island getaway destination favoured by the rich and famous for its luxe hotels, lively nightlife, and the remarkable Mykonos sunset.

Ah, the fabled sunset of Mykonos!

Everywhere on the island,on balconies, the beach, and the best restaurants in Mykonos,everyone watches them, spellbound. The setting sun looks gorgeous everywhere on the island, but exceptional sunset views await up high from our restaurant in Mykonos.

LPM Mykonos: View From the Top

Climb higher and go where Mykonos meets the sky. In the Old Town lies La Petite Maison.

Perched on the terrace of the luxury boutique property, Anandes Hotel, our La Petite Maison restaurant in Mykonos sits in the beating heart of town but in the quieter part. We’re connected to the island’s spirit but give you ample space so you can revel in the town’s charm without feeling hemmed in by the crowds.

The best part? LPM Mykonos beautifully frames the Mykonos sunset. The town, the cerulean Aegean, and the nearby and outlying Cyclades islands spread out below like a diorama at your feet. From this vantage point, the theatre of the setting sun plays out a little longer and feels appreciably more magical.

Sunset viewing from our restaurant is one of the best things to do in Mykonos. A glowing disc sinking ever slowly into your Tomatini. The surging colours sweep through the sky like a masterpiece. The crystal glasses splinter the sun’s rays into a million diamond slivers, and everything, your friends, the table, even the crèvettes on your plate, is awash with the softest and warmest of golden shades.

LPM Mykonos Restaurant: Opens for 2nd Season

Our restaurant and sunset bar in Mykonos can’t wait to welcome you again as we open for the 2nd season. While waiting for the golden hour, savour the cool Meltemi breeze and indulge in fresh oysters while sipping on a Provençal rosé, a Rosette or one of our other cocktails.

Once your table is available, move to the dining area. Every detail, from the crisp, white tablecloth to the latticework pattern on the upholstery, the mosaics, and the gilt evokes la belle époque. The dappled, sunlit terrace brings to mind the sunny French Riviera coast.

Enjoy harmony on the palate. The bonhomie and cuisine of Côte d’Azur meet Mykonos’ freshest catch and local ingredients in dishes prepared simply but precisely, à la minute. Whatever you’re having, whether grilled tiger prawns or salt-baked sea bass, there’s a perfect pairing for it from our extensive wine list. We have wines not only from the big châteaux but also from smaller vineyards.

Visit LPM Mykonos as we reopen this summer. Catch our themed summer nights, listen to the live music, and groove to the DJ’s beat as you enjoy our regular menu, theme specials, and drinks from our well-stocked Mykonos bar.
