Five-Star Hotels in Pounda

This place was incredible. Whoever designed this place deserves a medal. The aesthetics… the views… the pool… the room… the service… all a 10/10. AND it’s only 3 months old!! This hotel is located in Pounta, Paros. It is off the beaten track, so quiet and situated on a cliff overlooking the Pounda Port. At times, it felt like we were the only people staying here. If you’re looking to relax, this is the place to go. It really is a hidden gem and the staff run the place SO well. You are so well looked after, it is kept exceptionally clean and we felt so relaxed after staying here. They do a buffet breakfast and it was so tasty. The coffee they offer as well was great. This was an epic start to our trip island hopping around the Cyclades. We also had a 6pm ferry the day of check out and they told us we could stay as long as we needed and even sorted us a transfer to the port. They are doing it right, here at Kouros Blanc! We hope we can come back again! Some tips…. - If you are staying here, hire a car, ATV or beach buggy as we found the transport situation a little difficult. A short taxi ride sets you back about 25€ which hurt and the bus doesn’t go past this accommodation as it is quite remote. The staff at the hotel will sort out a rental for you if you request it. We hired a beach buggy for the day on Sunday to go exploring and it was so nice to be able to come back to such a quiet and relaxing base. - Set aside one night to sit by the pool and have dinner to take in the incredible view this hotel offers. They have an all day food menu with the basics like pizza, pasta, salad, sandwiches etc. After a whole day out on a boat, or driving around beach hopping and visiting the busy Naoussa, this is all we needed. It was nice to be able to come back and relax. Check out my Instagram @itchyfootsteps for a video on this incredible place.

Wonderful hotel with amazing design - perfect for a relaxing vacation. We loved that even during peak times we could find free sunbeds - the infinity pool looks fantastic :) We stayed in a junior suite below the pool which have the most privacy that we preferred. The front desk and the whole staff was really nice and helpful during our whole stay.

Thank you Yria for making our trip that special! From the moment we arrived we felt like home. The staff was extremely friendly but at the same time helpful and professional ready to do the extra mile for us. The rooms are super updated, comfortable, and spacious. No words can describe Nefeli Restaurant; I still remember the Calamari Pesto! The blooming gardens were my favourite part about Yria! Thank you again for everything. See you next year!

The customer service was exceptional!

We had an exceptional stay at Parocks. Our room was beautifully designed, super clean and really comfortable. The terrace with seaview and jacuzzi was a big plus. The breakfast had many options and the pool area is just stunning. The attention to detail is what makes this place a wonderful holiday destination.

This is a very beautifully designed hotel in a superb location.  The suite we stayed in was at the top floor, it was spacious with good amenities  and  a very nice view to the sea. The food was absolutely delicious and the outdoor restaurant had a very nice chilled atmosphere. The service is professional and friendly, and the hotel is only a 5 minutes walk to the picturace and cosmopolitan village of Naoussa.

if you are looking for a new and quiet resort, not too far away from Naousa and Parikia, it ticks all boxes. the accommodation is good value for money.

Lovely property with great staff and amazing property. Snorkelling off the pontoon and saw a metre long turtle.

Lovely new hotel in Ampelas in Paros. Still working through opening glitches but overall is a fantastic hotel with state of the art gym, wonderful pool and lovely well equipped rooms with pools.

The location was insane and the hotel is brand new with the most amazing stuff! Also the pool was lit and super comfy beds. Gotta rate this one 10/10
