This Greek Island Destination is Netflix Famous. Here’s How to Visit This Summer.
Dreaming of a summer escape to the Mediterranean? Summer Senses Luxury Resort, a seasonal five-star resort in Greece, is set to reopen from May 2 to October 6 for the 2024 summer season. Set on a stunning Greek island known for its unspoiled beaches and its recent Netflix fame, it’s a destination worth traveling for.
Summer Senses Luxury Resort
With accommodations ranging from premium rooms to expansive suites with private pools, Summer Senses Luxury Resort offers incredible hilltop views of the Aegean Sea. The resort is located on the Greek Island of Paros, known to be a crowd-pleaser with its spectacular beaches, incredible cuisine, and an accessible location perfect for island hopping.
Paros, Greece
Paros has recently been in the spotlight for its appearance in the recent Netflix hit, “One Day.” The island served as a filming location for the Netflix series’ fourth episode, where the show’s main characters, Emma and Dexter, spend their vacation in Greece.
One Day in Paros
The island is known for its incredible beaches and stunning, historic villages with classical Greek charm. The whitewashed buildings and gorgeous scenery of Paros feature heavily in “One Day,” and have been credited with a spike in bookings to the island projected for this summer season.
Under the Sun
Summer Senses Luxury Resort sits nestled along a pristine stretch of beach on the island’s quieter eastern coast, far from busier spots near the island’s more bustling towns. The resort centers around its two breathtaking freeform swimming pools, which invite guests to unwind under the golden Greek sun.
Pristine Pools
The resort’s pools make for a unique and modern contrast against an island of such history, though its freeform shapes mimic the waves of the Aegean Sea.
Summer Senses Amenities
The resort is a popular destination with travelers seeking multi-generational travel opportunities, offering a family-friendly lounge pool perfect for little ones to paddle in. It also offers amenities adults will love, like the Anassa Spa by Idolo and the state-of-the-art Anassa Gym.
Mediterranean Inspiration
Summer Senses Luxury Resort has plenty of pool space for relaxing, offering views of the beachfront from the hillside location. The resort’s architecture mirrors the landscape with rock-hewn walls and white facades.
Cool Off
It’s the perfect place to cool off after beach hopping across the island, exploring ancient ruins, or even just relaxing on the sand at the resort’s beach club.
Summer Senses Suites
While the resort has plenty of pool space to go around, many of Summer Senses’ categories of suites include a private pool and outdoor space for added seclusion.
Oasis
This makes for a private outdoor oasis to enjoy amidst hillside or ocean views across what are some of the most beautiful landscapes in Greece.
From Every Angle
Views from the Summer Senses Luxury Resort constantly change throughout the day, with the rise and fall of the sun casting new hues. It is a magical part of what makes it such a special and exclusive island paradise.
Beautiful Beaches
The hotel’s beachfront is just as spectacular as the rest of the property. The calm, tranquil waters that lap against the island’s golden sands feel impossibly clear. It’s a great beach for families, though rows of palapas make for romantic moments as well.
Mediterranean Feasts
Summer Senses has an incredible array of dining options, with four eateries and bars featuring the authentic, fresh flavors of Greece. Meals are made even better with the spectacular views as a backdrop.
Dinner Date
It is home to Galazia Hytra, an award-winning restaurant in collaboration with the Michelin-star restaurant Hytra, located in Athens. Dinner overlooking the water is magical at what is considered one of the best restaurants on an island known for its incredible culinary offerings.
Unwind Poolside
Despite what is projected to be a busier season than ever for the island in the wake of its recent Netflix fame, Summer Senses Luxury Resort is offering a special Stay Longer offer. From May to mid-June and from late August to September, guests staying for a minimum of 5 nights receive a complimentary night. For stays from mid-June to mid-August, a minimum of 7 nights entitles guests to an extra night.
Experience Paros at Summer Senses Luxury Resort
Whether you have just a few days to spend in Paros on your island hopping vacation or have a longer “One Day” inspired stay planned, this enchanting Greek island and its most luxurious resort escape are sure to please.
