Six years after opening its doors, Parīlio, the island’s first branded five-star hotel, ushers in a new era of luxury hospitality with the debut of The Villas at Parīlio and the unveiling of an expanded Elios Spa and wellness area. This marks an exciting next chapter for the design-led Cycladic retreat.
Since its opening, Parīlio has become a benchmark for contemporary Cycladic living, where bold design, intuitive service, and a profound connection to place converge. With its latest expansion, the property extends its philosophy into a more private, residential concept while deepening its commitment to holistic wellbeing, setting a new narrative for luxury on Paros.
The Villas at Parīlio
Launched in June, The Villas at Parīlio introduce a collection of thirteen villas and suites that balance seclusion with the privileges of full hotel service.
Designed by Interior Design Laboratorium, the Athens-based studio behind Parīlio’s original architecture and interiors, and landscaped by Ecoscapes, the new accommodations are crafted from local stone, wood, and stonewashed concrete. These materials root the villas in the island’s landscape while reflecting the hotel’s distinct design ethos. Expansive layouts and fluid indoor-outdoor living spaces capture the slow rhythm of Cycladic life.

The signature Villas include Aurelia, a three-bedroom villa, and Jupiter, a five-bedroom villa, each with expanding living areas, full kitchens, private pools, and panoramic sea views. The one- and two-bedroom suites, including Eclipse and Iris, offer spacious indoor and outdoor living boasting private terraces and plunge pools, designed for travelers seeking serenity without compromise.
Guests of The Villas enjoy a dedicated manager, private reception area, and tailored dining service, while also benefiting from the full array of Parīlio’s facilities and experiences.
Elios Spa & Wellness
The expansion also introduces the newly extended Elios Spa, named after the Greek word for “sun.” Designed as a sanctuary of restoration, the serene spa now features four treatment rooms, an outdoor heated jacuzzi, a relaxation terrace, and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
The spa’s expanded array of Mediterranean-inspired rituals draws on organic, locally sourced ingredients, furthering Parīlio’s ethos of mindful, place-connected luxury.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Sustainability continues to guide Parīlio’s vision. Native plant landscaping reduces irrigation needs, while the development of a private water well will enhance self-sufficiency. Eco-conscious practices are woven into operations, reflecting a long-term commitment to responsible hospitality.
With the debut of The Villas and Elios Spa, Parīlio sets a new benchmark for Paros, where design, nature, and wellbeing come together to define the island’s next chapter of luxury hospitality.
