"The Paros escape One of Paros' more recent additions, Summer Senses Luxury Resort has 100 contemporary rooms ranging from deluxe hideouts to suites with private pools. Two large outdoor pools, a spa, and a fitness center are among the five-star offerings, with fine dining options including a collaboration with Michelin-starred Athens restaurant Hytra. The sandy stretches of Punda Beach, with its bars, DJs, and pool parties, is a three-minute walk away. Paros' lively capital Parikia can be reached by car in less than half an hour, with some of the most picturesque Cycladic villages just a stone’s throw away. At this get-away-from-it-all haven, guests are looked after with the utmost care and attention. Visitors are invited to drift from one temptation to the next—from an utterly restorative spa treatment to a bespoke cocktail by the pool with infinite views of the Aegean sea. A meal at fine dining restaurant Galazia Hytra is imperative, with generous yet refined modern dishes served in the most stunning setting under the Mediterranean stars. Each thoughtful detail at Summer Senses reflects the hotel’s commitment to offering the ultimate Cycladic island escape. The service is faultless and every feature is perfectly calibrated to ensure guests feel rested and refreshed. A true Grecian paradise. —Anna Gladwin" - Becky Lucas
