Perched on a hilltop in the heart of Mykonos Town, Anandes Hotel and La Petite Maison enter its second season as one of the island’s most distinctive boutique escapes.
Created as an homage to Mykonos, the independent luxury property has, since its debut in June 2024, offered a refined take on Cycladic elegance. It offers sweeping views of the iconic windmills, whitewashed rooftops, and glittering Aegean Sea.
Anandes offers one of the island’s rarest sunset vantage points, with famed French Riviera-inspired restaurant La Petite Maison (LPM) at the fully al fresco panoramic poolside dining space offering its signature French joie de vivre against the backdrop of the Mykonoian sea. Just a short stroll from the island’s most sought-after shops, restaurants, and bars, Anandes and LPM blend seclusion and proximity in equal measure.
The hotel features 42 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites—many with private pools—alongside a full-service spa, hammam, sauna, gym, and wellness treatments. The Spa features two bespoke treatment rooms and a 24-hour Gym offering premium TechnoGym equipment, as well as Hammam and Sauna rooms.
Anandes harmoniously combines traditional elements with avant-garde design, creating radiant interiors adorned with sculptural lighting and curated art. Guests are welcomed by custom fixtures from French sculptor Philippe Anthonioz, while original works by artists including Richard Serra and Thomas Houseago complement the hotel’s contemporary Cycladic aesthetic.
Each room is defined by a palette of natural stone, embossed pine wood, linen, and rattan, creating a tactile connection to the surrounding landscape. All accommodations feature uninterrupted sea views, with six categories ranging from the Executive Sea View Suite to the Royal Sea View Suite with Infinity Pool.
Interiors include Bang & Olufsen sound systems and bathrooms finished in travertine stone and brass, a nod to mid-century glamour that pays tribute to Mykonos’ jet-set past.
The open-air dining terrace is at the heart of the culinary experience and is home to the internationally acclaimed La Petite Maison (LPM). The French Riviera-inspired restaurant marks its tenth global outpost, with a 125-seat al fresco space overlooking the sea.
Designed for sharing and conviviality, the menu includes LPM classics, including Warm Prawns with Olive Oil and Lemon Juice and Snails with Garlic Butter and Parsley; Salt-Baked Sea Bass with Artichokes and Tomatoes and Marinated Lamb Cutlets with Olive and Aubergine Caviar and Pine nuts; and the cult-favourite Vanilla Crème Brûlée for dessert.
Complementing the dishes is a sophisticated list of cocktails, including the timeless favourite Tomatini – must-try when visiting any La Petite Maison. The wine list offers an extensive range of wines of global repute, with LPM being a world leader in rosés – the emblem of the French Riviera and the perfect sip of summer.
This year, LPM will host a ‘Soirée Blanche’ every Thursday evening, inviting guests to celebrate in classic French Riviera style into the early hours. The restaurant will also welcome a roaming live band and resident DJ every Monday-Sunday throughout the 2025 season, who will transform the restaurant from day to night, creating a magnetic oasis for diners as the sun sets over the island before the Mykonian nightlife commences.
LPM will serve a bespoke menu for poolside dining that seamlessly marries LPM’s signature French Riviera flair with Greek influences. Guests of Anandes can delight in starters such as Sea Bass Ceviche with Truffle Ponzu and Burrata and Tomato Tartine, as well as mains including a Wagyu Sandwich with Focaccia, Rocket Pesto and Sweet Peppers, Cocca Pizza with Grilled Courgette and Feta Cheese, and Grilled Prawns with Pita Bread. For breakfast, guests can enjoy dishes such as Eggs Provencal, French Toast with Fresh Berries and Mascarpone Chantilly, as well as Tomato Tart with Feta Cheese and Basil.
Owner of Anandes Hotel, Karim El Chiaty, says, “After a fantastic first season, I’m delighted to welcome both returning and new guests to Anandes for what promises to be another unforgettable summer in Mykonos. Our intimate oasis is perfectly positioned — close enough to explore the island’s stunning beaches by day and soak up the energy of Mykonos Town by night or simply unwind in the privacy of your own pool.
“Guests can enjoy poolside snacks and cocktails by LPM, and I’m especially excited for this season’s new LPM entertainment programming, which will further establish it as one of the island’s most sought-after dining destinations.”
La Petite Maison’s CEO, Nicolas Budzynski, added, “We are thrilled to be entering our second season on the magnetic island of Mykonos in 2025. This year, we’re introducing some exciting new programming with the introduction of Soiree Blanche every Thursday, as well as our resident roaming band, matching the vibrant energy of Mykonos in our signature French Riviera fashion.
“The sunset views from our poolside al fresco space at Anandes Hotel are something truly special to witness and really set LPM apart on the island. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests for a Tomatini at sunset this summer.”
Anandes also offers a peaceful haven offering a wide spectrum of wellness options and a treatment menu featuring Ariadne Athens products. The Spa will feature two bespoke treatment rooms and a 24-hour Gym offering premium TechnoGym equipment, as well as a Hammam and Sauna rooms.
Anandes’ in-house concierge service is available to tailor every aspect of guests’ stay, from private dining on a remote beach to curated experiences across the island; the service is designed to take the stress out of planning so guests can focus on enjoying their stay.
Whether soaking in a private infinity pool, unwinding in the hammam, or dining beneath the Mykonian sky, Anandes and La Petite Maison offer a serene yet elevated retreat. It is a peaceful haven just moments from the island’s winding stone pathways, iconic windmills, quaint concept stores, and captivating nightlife—where vintage charm meets modern-day elegance.
Situated in a rare hilltop location in Mykonos town, Anandes stands apart as an ode to vintage Mykonos – epitomising the refined luxury and laid-back charm that made the island famous. Rooms start at €695 per night.
