The Luxury Collection opens on Greek...

Set in the town of Naoussa, the resort features a private beach and beach club

Marriott International’s The Luxury Collection has announced the opening of Cosme, a Luxury Collection Resort, Paros.

Less of a tourist hub than neighbouring Mykonos, the island of Paros is home to serene landscapes, refined culture, rich culinary history, cobbled pathways and stretches of pristine beaches.

Developed by Kanava Hotels & Resorts, Cosme embraces hoteliers Antonis Eliopoulos’ and Kalia Konstantinidou vision and ethos for understated luxury while elevating authentic, Greek hospitality.

The property’s design, created by ID Laboratorium, blends rare elements from around the Mediterranean with bold Cycladic lines. All buildings are made with local stone showcasing harmonious architectural compositions inspired by the island’s bright fishing villages and indigenous houses.

The resort’s open-air entrance and stone pathway decorated with greenery, leads into a marble-floored reception and lobby area that references historical Cycladic buildings.

Earth Suite

The resort comprises 40 suites, some featuring private pools and views across the Aegean Sea. All suites include custom-made furniture by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, paired with fabrics in warm shades of burgundy and red, and blue stripes echoing the Greek flag.

The resort’s lavish Cosmos Suite features an expansive terrace, a private pool, an open-air dining area, sun beds and views of Cosme’s private beach

Main pool

Remaining true to the island’s roots, Kalia Konstantinidou has crafted concepts that bring a true sense of individuality to the hotel. These include a culinary journey by celebrated Greek chef Yiannis Kioroglou who brings his passion for Grecian cuisine to the hotel’s dining destinations, beachside Parostia and laidback Volta.

Guests will also have the opportunity to learn how to cook traditional regional dishes in the Aroma Garden with dedicated workshops each day.
