Blue Waves Suites & Apartments Paros, Paros

Set in southeastern Paros, you’ll find the charming waterfront property of Blue Waves Suites and Apartments in the scenic fishing village of Drios. The suites and apartments are decorated in the classic Cycladic colors of bright whites and Mediterranean blue, paired with natural architectural elements made from stone and wood. The property spans two floors, offering travelers the choice between studio apartments and suites, where each one gets its own balcony with sea views. Amenities are a bit thin on the ground–there is no pool, for example–but there is a stretch of beach outside the hotel where you can grab a free sunbed. Guests can enjoy a delicious breakfast on their balconies in the morning.

Authenticity

The hotel features recently renovated spaces that pay homage to modern Cycladic architecture with whitewashed walls, rounded corners, and bright natural light. Although it was built in 1988, it was fully renovated in 2016. The property offers a mix of studio apartments and suites with abundant natural light, wood, and stone elements. All units come with their own balcony overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Location

Located in the village of Drios in the southeastern part of Paros, Blue Waves Suites and Apartments puts you right above the sea. Walk to the beach in just a few minutes or explore the restaurants of Drios in five. The port of Paroikia is a 30-minute drive, and the fishing village of Naousa is 25. However, you may not want to leave this tranquil location, where the Aegean is just outside your balcony.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Each unit has a private balcony or veranda with a clear view of the Aegean just below, where guests can enjoy a delicious homemade breakfast every morning. Rooms are decorated in a Cycladic style using natural materials. All options include a kitchenette for those who want to cook or stay in. Bathrooms come with a walk-in rainshower, a separate toilet area, and a sink with a vanity. Toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, and a hairdryer are provided.

Amenities

The property’s amenities are rather basic, as you won’t find a pool, gym, or spa on-site–although in-room massages can be arranged. There are free sunbeds on the beach by the hotel, and you can borrow a free beach towel and beach bag from the hotel room. You’ll find both indoor and outdoor common areas to relax. Blue Waves Suites and Apartment doesn’t have an elevator, so travelers with mobility issues may find the property unsuitable or will need to book a lower-level room.

Family-Friendliness

Children of all ages are welcome, but only those over 18 are charged as adults. The apartments are spacious enough to accommodate families and baby cribs can be requested in advance. Babysitting services are also available, and breakfast comes with child-friendly choices.
