Casa Caique

For a luxurious Greek retreat, they don't come much better than this stunning villa in the north of the picturesque island of Paros. This unique offering enjoys unobstructed views over the lunar landscape of Kolimbithres beach (a five-minute drive away) and across azure waters of the Aegean towards the neighbouring island of Naxos.

Perfectly positioned above the Mycenaean Acropolis and under a ten-minute drive from the lively whitewashed harbour village of Naoussa, your party will enjoy the best of both worlds – rest and recreation in equal measure.

The home is set across the main building, plus three independent guesthouses, with courtyards, paths and rooms that open directly to the outdoors, creating a flow between each. It's been designed to incorporate the best of contemporary and traditional design. Think open spaces, plenty of natural light and all the mod cons, sat beneath exposed timber ceilings and set within stuccoed, low-rise buildings.

In addition to some of the best views on the island, the outdoor area includes everything you'll need to relax and unwind. Comfy sun loungers fringe the azure waters of the swimming pool, a brick barbecue is prepped and ready to grill the catch of the day after sunbathing sessions by the sea, and the rustic table beneath the pergola will host all your alfresco meals.
