Continuing our love for the less known islands in Greece, and another gem on Paros-Parīlio Hotel, a Member of Design Hotels, the name of which is derived from ‘Paros’ and the Greek word for the sun ‘ilios’, is a 33-suite retreat characterized by Paros’ timeless simplicity surrounded by amber-hued fields, araucaria trees and, of course, the impossibly blue waters of the Aegean Sea.

The island’s distinctive architecture characterizes the property, and its interiors are defined by a soothing, tonal color palette and natural materials. Contemporary Greek design pieces sit alongside objets d’art by leading European designers, while striking ceramics sourced from the Marrakech-based studio of LRNCE serve to inspire and provoke conversation. Distinctive structural features such as arches, concrete columns, and thick masonry are representative of traditional building techniques and help to create a sense of sanctuary, resulting in a space that is both cathartic and elemental.

For those looking to fully embrace the slow-paced Cycladic way of living, the on-site Asian spa offers the ultimate time out with facial and body treatments that incorporate an Asian-inspired mix of essential oils. The fitness center is ideal for guests who wish to be active and fit during their vacation. The poolside bar offers an array of refreshing beverages, creative cocktails, and favorite snacks and is ideal for unwinding by day and night.
