Parilio Hotel - Paros

Parilio Hotel is a luxurious, contemporary property, located on the tranquil Cycladic island of Paros. Named for the island it calls home and the Greek for 'sun', this stunning spot is all about slow, sun-soaked Cycladic living. Set on the lesser-tapped island of Paros, this all-suite hideaway offers paired-back luxury with its holistic spa, state-of-the-art fitness centre, large outdoor pool, on-site restaurant and pool bar. Boasting soft edges, sculptural spaces and a quiet kind of elegance, it's the perfect pick for families, duos and solo travellers seeking some sunshine.

The hotel, a member of Design Hotels, has a laidback, intimate vibe, nestled in the rolling natural landscape of perfumed pine trees. It’s situated on the island’s north eastern coastline, between the picture-perfect beach of Kolympithres and the pretty white-washed harbour village of Naoussa. Naoussa is undeniably beautiful, with narrow, cobbled alleyways and seaside cafes, serving up freshly caught fish. Lefkes is approximately eight miles from the hotel – and worth a visit to view the charming white houses, adorned with vibrant pink Bougainvillea and blue doors. You can also pick up gifts of handmade local pottery, jewellery, honey and figs. Paros can be easily reached by frequent ferries from Mykonos. The fastest ferry journey takes approximately 45 minutes from Mykonos, around 24 miles to Paros. Once you arrive at Paros ferry terminal, you’ll be just six miles from the hotel. Paros Airport is also an easy 12 miles away, with frequent flights landing from Athens.

Parilio Hotel offers beautifully designed suites and villas, each one bright and spacious with an outdoor terrace. They are decorated in soothing, tonal colours with soft furnishings made of natural materials. Aurora Suites are on the ground or first floor, offering beautiful views of the surrounding area. They feature a king or queen-size bed, spacious bathroom with rainfall shower and private furnished terrace and sitting area. Uranus and Sun Suites are the largest suites at the hotel and offer a private Jacuzzi or private pool, respectively. Ideal for families, twin rooms are a sure thing here, and connecting options can also be arranged if available, too. Upgrade and enjoy space to truly stretch out. Iris Suites open onto terraces that spill out towards a shared pool, Eclipse Suites boast their own private plunge pools, and the Aurelia and Jupiter Villas offer secluded sanctuaries – think private pools framed by loungers and generous layouts.
