A New Cycladic Era
THE AVANT MAR EXPERIENCE
Slow luxury on the shores of Paros
On the sunlit shores of the Aegean on the island of Paros, Avant Mar reveals a contemporary expression of Cycladic hospitality. With 38 carefully curated rooms and suites, including seven suites with private plunge pools and the exclusive Avant Mar Premium Suite with its own private pool, the hotel offers an intimate retreat shaped by light, sea and effortless elegance.
Just 200 metres from the main hotel, the Avant Mar Infinity Suites offer an even greater sense of seclusion. These five exceptional suites are designed to feel suspended above the Aegean, with uninterrupted sea views and terraces where the horizon stretches endlessly before you. Here, the gentle rhythm of the waves becomes part of the experience, inviting guests to slow down and savour the quiet beauty of island life.
At Avant Mar, luxury unfolds at a gentler pace. Guided by the philosophy of slow luxury, each space invites guests to pause, breathe and reconnect with the natural cadence of the island. Interiors reflect the serene palette of the Cyclades, where white marble accents, soft textures and abundant natural light create an atmosphere of calm refinement.
Inspired by the tamarisk trees that line the nearby coastline, offering shade and quiet moments by the sea, Avant Mar stands as a sanctuary where simplicity, elegance and the landscape exist in perfect balance.
At the heart of the hotel lies a striking 55-metre swimming pool that appears to merge seamlessly with the Aegean, creating a tranquil setting for long, unhurried afternoons. The Wellness Area complements this sense of wellbeing with rejuvenating treatments and spaces dedicated to both relaxation and fitness.
