Paros Agnanti Resort & Spa

The massage was incredible, with just the right balance of pressure and technique. It left me relaxed, refreshed, and energized instead of groggy. My friends and I enjoyed it so much that we booked a second session during our stay. From the moment I arrived, Igla at Agnanti Resort and Spa made the place feel warm, welcoming, and impeccably clean. It was bliss from start to finish. If you need to unwind and de-stress, this is the place.

The rooms were roomy and comfortable, and breakfast was delicious. We especially enjoyed how relaxing the spa was, with Olivia making it a delight. Faith and Aggeliki were warm, helpful, and knew their stuff. The hotel is a little removed from town, so you’ll want a car or taxi, but it’s a lovely oasis just steps from the beach.

We came to relax, so we mostly stayed around Paros town instead of visiting the villages. The shuttle into town was useful, though I’d rent a car to see more of the island. Up on the hill, the property has sweeping ocean views and one of the best pools we’ve experienced, plus fun facilities like mini golf, bowling, tennis, and kettle ball. Service was good, and Sophia at reception shared some great food tips. Breakfast was a highlight, with lots of fresh, mostly organic food and a terrific selection. We had dinner there once. It was pricey, but the quality was outstanding. The gnocchi was the best I’ve had, even compared with places we visited in Italy, though the portion was small. A great fit for couples and families.

The balcony gave us lovely views over Parikia, and the room was nice. Breakfast had an excellent buffet, and the pool was good too. The hotel is 1.6 km from the main esplanade. There’s a free shuttle three times a day, but at other times taxis cost €15 each way. You can walk, though the drivers on the road are lunatics. A hotel is being built between Agnanti and the beach, which affects the view, but the construction wasn’t noisy.
