The Myconian Ambassador Hotel is a luxury hotel in Mykonos, capturing the essence of Myconian charm and the celebrated art de vivre of Relais & Châteaux.Mere steps from the fine sand of Platis Gialos, and built in sympathy with the slope, its architecture blends contemporary chic with tones and textures borrowed from the local vernacular.Interiors that embody the clean line and cool sophistication of high design flow into the quiet comfort of luxurious bedrooms, or spill out onto the spectacular terrace that is the heart of the hotel, all without ever breaking the spell of magnificent Aegean views.Aptly named Stay, the terrace is a world unto itself, beating to different rhythms throughout the day: after a leisurely breakfast at Latitudes, mornings drift effortlessly into perfect poolside afternoons, with light meals and drinks from George’s bar. And as shadows lean towards evening, guests return from the beach to mingle over sunset cocktails, before dining in the candle-lit glow of Efisia, one of the island’s top tables.
The Myconian Ambassador Hotel is situated just above Platis Gialos beach on the south coast of the island, renowned for its crystal water and fine sands. The famous beaches of cosmopolitan Psarou, picturesque Paranga and Agia Anna are within easy walking distance.
EAT & DRINK
Share in our unmistakable passion for food – from sumptuous feasts on the breakfast terrace or light lunches served at our poolside bar, to fine dining at our renowned restaurant.Our Executive Chef is a true artisan whose creative style of cuisine combines classic culinary traditions with a contemporary sensitivity to the Mediterranean art of cooking. Using only the finest farm-to-table ingredients and the fishermen’s catch of the day, his distinctive touch transforms even the simplest meal into a sophisticated gourmet experience that fuses purity and seasonal flavours.On the strength of our own Myconian roots, and as one of the island’s preeminent families in hospitality, we have time-honoured ties to local farmers and fishermen, some going back three decades. Tomatoes, cucumbers, aubergines, zucchini, peppers, onion, garlic, lemons, and aromatic herbs such as sage, thyme, oregano and rosemary, are grown exclusively for our restaurants. Even the salt is the finest ‘fleur de sel’ harvested around the island of Delos. Our two ‘underground’ sources provide us with secret supplies: the octopus in one of our signature dishes is delivered by Panagiotis, an old friend of the MD’s father, George Daktylides, who knows the waters around Rhenia like the back of his hand and only fishes for himself and our chef. And of course, since retiring as CEO of the Myconian Collection in 2011, Daktylides himself has taken to rearing our lamb and pork on family land. (more about Our Family History)
LATITUDES THE BREAKFAST TERRACE:Flooded with morning light and overlooking sea views that spill in through generous windows, Latitudes is the perfect place to start to your day.
The lavish spread laid out by our chef includes cooked-to-order eggs and a champagne American breakfast buffet, with freshly baked breads, buttery croissants and cereals (catering to those with the most hedonistic tastes as well as those with gluten-free requirements), pressed juices, fruit, nuts, charcuterie and salmon. This is complemented by our traditional buffet of local delicacies such as stuffed vine leaves (‘dolmades’), Greek yoghurt with island honey, fresh tomatoes and olives as well as the more indulgent halva, kataifi and baklava.
It’s so good that guests who only drifted in at dawn get up just in time to catch the last delicious Italian cappuccino.
EFISIA FINE DINING:Our restaurant is sheltered from the evening breeze in an alcove of rough-hewn stone. As one of the top tables on the island, Efisia offers a gourmet menu in the Relais & Châteaux tradition, pairing a culinary experience with luxurious atmosphere. Both à-la-carte and a menu dégustation are served between 8pm-11:30pm, complemented by a discerning selection of wines. Bookings are essential!
STAY THE POOL DECK:The magnificent timber deck surrounding the pool is a world unto itself. It’s a vast expanse and, once on it, you feel as if you’ve set out to sea on a tide that ebbs and flows from breakfast terrace to poolside bar and back. Best of all though are the seamless views out over the Aegean.
There’s nothing more relaxing than a day spent adrift in reverie or reading on our broad daybeds, cared for by our attentive crew bringing fresh towels, irresistible, complimentary iced smoothies and anything that might catch your fancy from the bar’s menu. You could do nothing at all. Or why not simply watch the shadows of the palms and the parasols lean into the afternoon until, at sunset, stillness descends on the ocean, bringing with it an incomparable sense of tranquility and wellbeing. Many guests do just that, which is why we simply named it STAY.
GEORGE’S BAR:With its panoramic view of the entertainment terrace, George’s is an ideal meeting spot and a perfect vantage point from which to watch the day’s rhythms unfold. Our barman is an old hand at preparing your poison of choice, and you can rely on him to provide the perfect accompanying snacks. Light lunches are served (from 12pm–8pm) in the bar lounge or at your shaded lounger overlooking the ocean. At sunset, guests returning from the beach mingle around the bar over a glass of wine or an aperitif before retiring to dress for dinner at Efisia or for an evening out on the town. Smooth cocktails are served well into the small hours of the morning. Naturally!
IN-ROOM DINING:For those rare evenings when you feel like ‘staying home’ to catch up on sleep, work or TV entertainment, we offer a delicious in-room menu with something exceptional for everyone’s taste, guaranteed to arrive as hot or as chilled as the chef would have it.
