Marrying the island’s cosmopolitan party spirit with Buddha Bar’s elegant and immersive music, cocktails and cuisine, Mykonos’ Buddha Bar Beach looks to become one of the island’s coolest hotspots.
Perched on the shores of the glittering Aegean, Santa Marina, Mykonos boasts the island’s only private beach, and is just a short speedboat ride away from Mykonos’ vibrant town life.
‘We are thrilled to be partnering with Buddha Bar, and introducing our guests to an innovative and exciting dining experience’, says Makis Antonatos, Santa Marina’s Hotel Manager. ‘We are so proud to be welcoming the inaugural Buddha Bar Beach to Santa Marina Resort & Villas, and are looking forward to welcoming them to an unforgettable summer in Mykonos’.
‘Following the successful 2014 launch of the latest Buddha-Bar compilation, Buddha Bar Beach Ibiza and the globetrotting Buddha Bar Beach Endless Summer tour that took over Ibiza, Paris, Barcelona, St Tropez and Dubai, Buddha Bar is proud to host its first residency in Mykonos, at the beautiful Santa Marina resort’, says Franck Fortet, Vice President of Development George V Entertainment. ‘We couldn’t dream of a better place to launch our new beach concept. Santa Marina is an outstanding venue with perfect settings and scenery, and incredible location with its exclusive beachfront and great history. We are confident that together we will create a unique lifestyle restaurant and beach venue, providing guests with an all day and night experience’.
With a rotating set of menus designed by Buddha Bar’s world-renowned chefs, the restaurant will also showcase Mykonos’ outstanding seafood and fresh produce.
Santa Marina Resort & Villas, Mykonos’ collaboration with Buddha Bar follows a total redesign of the hotel’s 75 waterfront rooms and suites, restaurant, and beach that was unveiled Summer 2014.
Overlooking the Aegean Sea on a secluded peninsula of Ornos Bay, the Santa Marina is only a short 3km speedboat or shuttle ride to Mykonos Town. The resort boasts its own 150-meter private beach, a private bay for guests and visitors to moor their boats, and the best yacht servicing facilities in Mykonos.
Guests can work out at the hotel’s state of the art gym, or perfect their backhand on floodlit the tennis court under the supervision of one of the resort’s professional tennis coaches. Children can enjoy the days playing at the newly built playground or hang out at the Kid’s Club while adults relax at the hotel’s Lotus Spa, enjoying purifying wraps and hair therapy courtesy of the sustainable spa product line ila.
