As soon as you step foot in this villa, you’ll feel a sense of calm wash over you. It was designed for outdoor living, with an alfresco kitchen and a long infinity pool looking out to sea. Inside is a minimalist coastal theme – nothing that will detract from the marvellous views. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in, so you can sit back and gaze at the sea from the comfort of the bright and breezy living room. There’s also a snug second lounge ideal for movie nights. The bedrooms are beautifully dressed, some with access to the terrace and balcony, which are great for morning coffees in the fresh air. The home also has a 24/7 concierge, with add-ons including massage services and restaurant reservations.

Sleeping up to twenty-two people, this home is the best choice for big family reunions and getaways with friends. Made up of two villas perched on a hillside, you and your guests will be treated to breathtaking vistas of the sea both inside and out. It’s the perfect place for socialising, whether you’re hanging out in the pool or chatting on the bean bags. We particularly love the alfresco dining area under the pergola, which is perfect for escaping the sun when it gets too hot. Your hosts have thought of everything, and out here, you’ll find a grill for barbecue lunches and a fridge to keep yourself hydrated with cold drinks. The interiors are pared-back yet chic, with white-washed walls and the use of natural materials creating a tranquil ambience. If you want a beach day, the secluded Tripiti Beach 2 is just a nineteen-minute stroll away.

This grand seaside home is another fantastic option for large groups. Consisting of two villas, there’s ample space for up to sixteen guests to spread out. The turquoise waters of the private pool will tempt you for a swim, while the bean bags and loungers are the best spots to soak up the sun. For a relaxing beach day, Ampelas Beach is just a thirteen-minute drive away, or your host can also provide luxury concierge services like guided island tours. After a long day of exploring, the last thing you’ll want to do is cook dinner. Why not organise for a private chef to come in and whip up a tasty Greek dinner on your behalf? Pour out the aperitifs and gather around the alfresco kitchen while you watch them in action.

Make the most of a quick trip with a short stay home in Paros.

It’s a bold statement, but this is one of the most attractive luxury villa Airbnb alternatives near the beach in Paros. Surrounded by peaceful countryside yet only a ten-minute from Ambelas Beach, it’s the ultimate destination for a bit of R&R. While your host can organise bike rentals and boat tours, you may equally be tempted to stay in and spend the day paddling about in the infinity pool. Fire up the grill for some souvlaki and gather under the pergola for a long and lazy lunch that leads late into the afternoon. The whitewashed interiors provide a cool respite from the sun, with a spacious living area and eat-in kitchen. The bedrooms are also calming and zen-like, each one leading onto the terrace or balcony – keep the French doors open and let the sea breeze send you to sleep.

Surrounded by 14 acres of gardens, vineyards and vegetable patches, this home offers a taste of rural living. With the help of the gardener, head out and harvest whatever fresh produce is growing, such as herbs, olives and tomatoes. The full outdoor kitchen is a joy to cook in, complete with a breakfast bar and large dining table. There’s also a comfy lounge area under the pergola, where you’re most likely to spend most of your days reading, socialising and enjoying cocktails. If you need to top up your tan, there are loungers by the lagoon-style swimming pool where you can admire the surrounding hills. You won’t miss out on the vistas even when you’re inside, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors in every room. The use of wood, bamboo and stone throughout the home makes you feel even more in touch with nature.

With its hilltop position, this whitewashed villa is home to some incredible panoramas of the coast and countryside. The designers have taken that into consideration, with various spots to marvel at the landscapes, from the poolside hammocks to the rooftop terrace. There’s an outdoor kitchen, but as the home has a private chef, why not take the opportunity to try some local dishes? With white marble floors and high ceilings, the interiors are instantly breezy when you need a break from the sun. Fit in a workout in the basement gym or challenge your guests to a game of ping-pong. When the sun gets low in the sky, head to the tennis court for a quick match before returning home for a pre-dinner glass of wine – there’s a wine cellar downstairs to keep your favourite bottles in tip-top condition. Thanks to the villa’s central location, you can reach beaches on the west side and east side in under fifteen minutes by car. That's if you can pull yourself away from the private pool, of course.
