The Best Hotels in Paros with Private Pools: My 2026 Guide

GreeceParos › Hotels with Private Pools
Updated: October 31, 2025 • By Santorini Dave

Paros has seen a boom in new luxury hotels, and many now compete with Mykonos for design and high-end amenities, including private pools. Like on other islands, “private pool” can mean anything from a small plunge pool to a full-sized swimming area.

Key Things to Consider Before Booking
• Pool Type: A “private pool” is often a small, unheated plunge pool (or even an “outdoor hot tub”) meant for a quick dip, not for swimming. Hotels like Cosme or Summer Senses will have larger options.
• Heating: Assume the pool is not heated unless the hotel explicitly states it. If you are traveling in May, June, or September, an unheated pool will be very cold.
• Location: The new luxury hotels are concentrated around Naoussa, but there are other excellent options near Parikia and on the more remote southern beaches.

1. Hotels Near Naoussa
