Buddha Bar

Why we recommend Buddha Bar in Mykonos

We keep Buddha Bar on the short list of Mykonos dining rooms worth a standalone night rather than a squeezed-in pre-club meal. Mediterranean beachside dining with magnum culture and celebrity crowd. Outside Las Vegas, MyRSVP focuses on nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than restaurant reservations, so this page is written as a city guide: the room and its point of view, the menu cues, the practical timing, and the fastest way to reserve your own table. Use it alongside a MyRSVP nightlife or pool booking to stack the full evening.

What to expect in the room and on the menu

Perched above Ornos Bay at the Santa Marina Resort, Buddha-Bar Beach operates as a full-service restaurant and beach club from 1 p.m. to 1 a.m. during the May–October season. The menu balances Asian fusion with Mediterranean influences: start with Toro Tartare or Crispy Pink Shrimp, move to mains like Black Cod or Red Curry Shrimp with lemongrass rice, and finish with Mango Sorbet. The space itself—chic decor layered with Asian accents, lush greenery, and unobstructed sea views—shifts mood as the sun sets; resident DJs transition the vibe from dinner service into late-night club energy. Tables are tiered across the terrace, with prime oceanfront positions commanding premium pricing and attention. The venue has built its reputation since 2015 on seamless service and a consistent draw of celebrities and jet-setters, though it’s worth noting the pricing is steep and securing tables during peak summer weeks requires advance planning. Gluten-free and customizable options are available. The private beach access and dual-purpose setup—elegant dinner venue by night, buzzing social hub by late evening—make this one of Mykonos’s most competitive reservations.

Reservations — how to book Buddha Bar

A quick note on how to use this page: Buddha Bar sits on our curated Mykonos dining shortlist, but MyRSVP doesn’t hold restaurant inventory here — that concierge service is Las Vegas-only. For the reservation, book direct with the venue on whichever channel they use (their own site, OpenTable, Resy, SevenRooms, or phone). For a nightclub, pool day, or beach club layered into the same Mykonos trip, that is the part where MyRSVP picks up — submit the form on the relevant venue page and we will coordinate that side of the evening with your dinner reservation as the anchor point.

Hours, dress, and planning windows

What to know before you visit Buddha Bar. The room operates on these hours: Daily lunch 1:00 PM – 6:00 PM; dinner 7:00 PM – 1:00 AM (seasonal). On the dress side: Smart casual. No swimwear, beachwear, or flip-flops. Peak demand in Mykonos falls around late May through September, with August at absolute peak, sharpest on Psarou and Paradise beach season, Scorpios sunset rituals — those are the dates the reservation book closes furthest out. If the main dining room is full on your target date, ask the restaurant about chef’s counter, bar seats or a tasting-menu slot; those formats often stay open days after the primary book has gone.

How MyRSVP helps with the rest of your Mykonos trip

Booking Buddha Bar for your Mykonos trip. The dinner reservation itself runs through the restaurant; MyRSVP’s concierge service in Mykonos specializes in nightclub and pool-club bookings rather than dining rooms. Dinner reservations are direct with Buddha Bar. For the nightclub, pool day or beach club you’re planning around the meal, submit the MyRSVP form on the relevant venue page and a concierge assigned to that venue will be in touch with pricing, placement and the best area for your group.
