Summer Senses

The Punda Coast Beach Club, which is not part of the hotel, ensures that there is a party atmosphere down on the beach. The twelve hectares of resort-like grounds further up at Summer Senses guarantee heavenly tranquillity. In the hotel's own fine dining restaurant, Glazia Hytra, you can dine as if you were in Athens, with Michelin-starred cuisine under the starry skies of the Cyclades. Christos Kaloulas, who also runs the gourmet restaurant Hytra in the Greek capital, cooks there. You should definitely plan at least one dinner here, because his cuisine is superb. His wife Christina serves great Greek wines by the glass with tremendous enthusiasm. The large breakfast buffet in the all-day restaurant Gaia is also excellent. The treatments in the spa are varied, but the location in the basement is not so sexy and with only two treatment rooms, the whole thing is also rather undersized for a small luxury-of-the-wild hotel. The "Iliotherapeía", "sunbathing" in the impressive pool landscape, by the private pool or down on Punda Beach is the more pleasant and promising way to do something good for body and soul. It's hard to believe, but the friendliness and professionalism of the Paros luxury hotels finds its master at Summer Senses! The concierge service is absolutely first class and can be found at the long table with the two laptops in the lobby. Whether it's island tours, yacht charters, car, scooter or bicycle rental, the hotel takes exemplary care of its guests' well-being.

Test highlight: Relaxed bathing fun in the lagoon-like pools and the anticipation of a star-studded dinner
