Avant Mar: Design and Matsuhisa on Paros

Avant Mar is one of the design hotels that has propelled Paros into the front rank of Cycladic destinations, set on Piperi Beach near the pretty fishing town of Naoussa. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it pairs contemporary architecture with a marquee culinary arrival.

That arrival is Matsuhisa Paros, bringing chef Nobu Matsuhisa's iconic Japanese-Peruvian cuisine to the island and placing it among a select group of global Matsuhisa destinations. Alongside it, the all-day Thymes handles Mediterranean dining, the Bridge gin-and-tonic bar frames Aegean views, and the Figs pastry shop offers a taste of Greek heritage.

For a stylish, food-led stay on rising-star Paros, Avant Mar is a standout.
