Avant Mar
Paros, Greece
Piperi
Vibe
Curving whitewashed walls frame a long central pool stretching toward Piperi Beach, where ocean breezes drift through open-air lounges.
“Sculpted Cycladic quarters”
Whitewashed geometric volumes flank an amphitheatre-like, 55-metre central pool stretching toward Piperi Beach.
Attentive hospitality, swift messaging concierge assistance, full-size bath amenities, and suites with private plunge pools.
Sunset cocktails at The Bridge gin bar accompany evening DJ sets, alongside open-air poolside dining.
On Piperi Beach, five minutes on foot from Naousa harbour and its waterfront restaurants.
“The sleek, geometric architectural forms of Avant Mar prepares the visitor for the serene hospitality experience within this idyllic Greek island hotel.”
Rooms
Interiors pair pale wood and Greek marble with sheer blue textiles. Selected suites feature private plunge pools facing the sea.
Wellness
An outdoor wellness pavilion offers Cinq Mondes body therapies, flanked by a 55-metre curved pool and an open-air yoga terrace.
Eat & drink
Matsuhisa serves sushi and black cod miso beside the pool, while The Bridge mixes specialty gin drinks above the Aegean.
The neighborhood
Step directly onto the sands of Piperi Beach, or walk five minutes along the coast into the lively harbour of Naousa.
The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
