The Best Hotels in Paros, Greece

"Hidden among the back lanes that wind between farmland and orchards, water is a real theme at this hilltop property, with three large pools, split by a mix of bridges and waterfalls, and seascape vistas. The feel here, as is the norm for the Paros hospitality scene, is discerning, though the crowd—and the staff—have an altogether younger feel (perhaps because there are clubs and pool parties within walking distance). Clad in natural stone, the exterior here is softened by ornamental arrangements of sweet-smelling herbs and flowers. With 100 rooms and suites, Summer Senses Luxury Resort—a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World—is one of the larger properties on the island and its restaurant, Hytra, is a replica of the Michelin-starred restaurant by the same name that remains ever-popular in Athens. Address: Summer Senses, Punda Beach, Marpissa 844 00, Greece"
