Parīlio, a Member of Design Hotels, the name of which is derived from ‘Paros’ and the Greek word for the sun ‘īlios’, is a 33-suite retreat characterized by Paros’ timeless simplicity surrounded by amber hued fields, araucaria trees and, of course, the impossibly blue waters of the Aegean Sea.
The property is characterized by the island’s distinctive architecture and its interiors are defined by a soothing, tonal color palette and natural materials. Contemporary Greek design pieces sit alongside objects d’art by leading European designers, while striking ceramics sourced from the Marrakech-based studio of LRNCE serve to inspire and provoke conversation. Distinctive structural features such as arches, concrete columns, and thick masonry are representative of traditional building techniques and help to create a sense of sanctuary, resulting in a space that is both cathartic and elemental.
