OVÉA is the first to market this season and sets the tone: low-density, design-forward, private pools as standard. The 19,000 m² of gardens mean you'll feel entirely secluded despite being minutes from Naoussa's harbor bars.

| Vibe | Art-meets-architecture; Instagram-worthy interiors |
Kensho already operates in Mykonos, its Paros debut brings the same design DNA to a calmer, more refined island setting. Expect sculptural interiors, curated local art, and a spa that rivals any in the Cyclades.
3. Luura Cliff: Opens 2026

How This Changes the Paros Landscape
Before 2026
Paros was beloved for its authentic Cycladic character: boutique family-run hotels, fishing-village harbors, windsurf beaches. International luxury brands were absent.
After 2026
Paros now competes directly with Mykonos for the luxury hospitality market, while retaining its village charm and authenticity. The key difference: Paros's new hotels emphasize quiet luxury and privacy rather than party-adjacent positioning.
Impact on Prices
Expect peak-season rates at the new properties to range €400–€1,500/night for pool suites. Budget and mid-range accommodation in Paros remains more affordable than Mykonos, studios from €80/night, boutique hotels from €150/night.
