Cosme Paros, a Luxury Collection Resort

With all the charm and intimacy of a boutique hotel, and all the amenities of a beach resort, the sophisticated but friendly Cosme, makes a delightful base for soaking up the sun and authentic Greek vibe. A 15-minute walk from the cosmopolitan fishing village of Naoussa, this beachfront hotel sits in a dreamy half-moon bay.

Reminiscent of a small Greek village, the hotel boasts landscaped walkways which wind through traditional whitewashed buildings, designed with clean lines and thoughtful shared spaces, including a ‘village square’ with fountain, as well as stargazing and sunset spots. There’s a shimmering infinity pool, overlooking the private beach club and the warm blue waters of the Aegean. The ambience is personal and friendly, with intuitive and unintrusive service.

The Cosme has 40 spacious suites, sleeping up to two adults, all with plush white beds, elegant décor, handcrafted wooden furniture, soothing neutral hues, seating area, local artwork, and private furnished terrace. Bathrooms feature huge walk-in rain showers, Korres bath products, robes, and slippers. Amenities include climate control, Wi-Fi, TV, USB chargers, Bluetooth speakers, Nespresso machine, kettle, minibar, and safety deposit box. Entry level Earth Suites overlook the gardens, or trade up to an Ocean, Aether, Astro, or Cosmos Suite for a sea view. Aether and Cosmos Suites feature a separate living room, or for a private pool, book an Astro or Cosmos Suite. Children are welcome and babysitting can be arranged.

There are two restaurants overseen by superstar chef, Yiannis Kiorglou, responsible for several Michelin-starred European restaurants, including La Petite Mansion in Cannes. Combining Mediterranean flair with his Greek heritage, the beachside dining at Parostià is a treat. Breakfast is a relaxed affair on the patio restaurant, Volta, with made-to-order dishes, smoothies, and fresh fruits. For expertly mixed cocktails and sundowners, Circe Bar is the place to go.

The infinity pool with cabanas and loungers leads to the private beach club, so both pool and beach life can be enjoyed. For fitness and relaxation, there’s an onsite gym and full-service spa, Elios, with treatment rooms and a private Jacuzzi pool. Both the spa and well-equipped gym, occupy a low-slung stone building topped with a stargazing area. The resort also offers yoga classes and has a small shop.
