MEDITERRANEAN ESCAPE Set against the sun-drenched Cyclades, Méros, opening June 2026, brings a fresh, sophisticated perspective to the understated charm of Paros. With 27 rooms in the picturesque fishing village of Naousa, the hotel offers mesmerising sea views, minimalist interiors softened by natural materials, and an effortless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Part of the family-run Santikos Collection, Méros celebrates the island’s timeless Cycladic aesthetic while avoiding clichés, using chalky neutrals, sculptural details, and sun-warmed textures to create a serene sanctuary. Guests can explore Naousa’s cobbled streets, waterfront bars, and thriving foodie scene, or venture to Paros’s pristine beaches, hidden coves, and medieval villages. For a touch of glamour, Antiparos lies just a short ferry ride away. Méros promises a laid-back yet stylish retreat where relaxation, design, and the Aegean’s natural beauty converge – perfect for couples, friends, or anyone seeking a soulful escape on one of Greece’s most enchanting islands.
