Cosme, a Luxury Collection Resort, Paros
Set in a half-moon bay, this beach-fronted boutique hotel is next to the charming harbour town of Naoussa, where guests can enjoy eclectic dining, upscale shopping and nightlife, all within an 8-minute walk.
Not that there’s much need to venture out at all. It may be boutique but Cosme boasts a full-service spa, an infinity pool with cabanas and sun loungers, a beach club on the sand, a well-equipped gym, a stargazing terrace, shop and two restaurants, including one on the beach with mesmerising sea views.
The hotel’s 40 suites are all generously proportioned and come with sun loungers on the terraces, twin sinks in the bathrooms and handy modern conveniences like Bluetooth speakers and USB chargers by the bed. Larger suites have private pools and separate living areas.
Staff are personal, friendly and quick to learn your name. If not all native Parians, many have lived on the island for years and are all too happy to share tips and local knowledge.
Cosme guests also have complimentary access to the Empiria Lounge located in the heart of Parikia, just steps away from Paros’ port. The Lounge provides a restful spot to store luggage and relax, whether just arriving on Paros or before departure to the next destination.
