Reflect & Illuminate

Reflect & Illuminate: Paros

Paros' fertile lands play host to fig trees, olive groves, vineyards, and aromatic herbs – a truly sensory experience alongside visual delights of the landscape and the smell of sea air. While organic beauty is all around, there are also manmade wonders dotted about the island. In the northeastern seaside town of Ambelas (just a ten-minute walk from a beach of the same name) this modern villa is sure to impress.

Set upon a peaceful hillside, this sprawling home has the typical whitewashed walls and shaded terraces you might expect from a Greek villa. However, it’s far from traditional inside. Perfectly minimalist, its simple white colour scheme and understated furniture allow the colourful sea views to really sing. You can access terraces and courtyards directly from each bright bedroom, making the outdoor space the real heart of the home.

Take a dip in your infinity pool before mixing cocktails to sip on the sun loungers. Or you might want to heat up the barbecue while you set up for dinner beneath the pergola. Solar panels power the magical lighting that illuminates the entire villa by night – as if you needed an excuse to pop a bottle of champagne and sit under the stars on a balmy evening.
