"Paros, Greece This hotel—part of Marriott Bonvoy’s Luxury Collection Hotels and Resorts portfolio—feels more like a narrative, a breathing thing. The property draws in the fresh, salty air that whips off the Aegean Sea and allows it to fill its white-washed lungs to uplift the myriad pathways and passages (inspired by the bright fishing villages of Paros itself) that connect guest rooms with thoughtful spaces and dining areas, and outdoor living. From the achingly cool entrance that frames the stretch of private beach in front to the half-moon infinity pool that perfectly kisses the ocean beyond it, island living doesn’t get much better—or much freer—than this. —Anya Meyerowitz Distance to the water: On the beach Travel time: 17 minute drive from the ferry terminal Price: Rooms from around $481 per night" - Lauren Burvill
