The hype
Guests are obsessed with the pool area and the sunset yoga, but many find the on-site food overpriced for the quality.
Mythic Paros - Adults Only
$300-800 / night
Book this if You want a secluded, adults-only sanctuary where the sunset views over Antiparos are the main event and you don't mind driving for dinner.
Why People Love It
- Unobstructed sunset views facing Antiparos from almost every angle
- Boho-chic 'cave' architecture that feels cool and private
- Two stunning infinity pools that never feel crowded
Quick Take: It's a gorgeous Instagram trap in the middle of nowhere—if you don't rent a car, you are effectively held hostage by expensive taxi transfers.
Reviewed by @RíonaMoore154656: I stayed here for a week and didn't want to leave. The sunsets from the infinity pool are magical, and it’s so much more peaceful than other islands. If you want luxury without the noise, this is it.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'Junior Suites' can feel small and some lower-level terraces lack privacy as neighbors above can look right in.
- You prioritize silence and sunsets over nightlife
- You plan to rent a car and explore the island daily
- You love the 'cave hotel' aesthetic without the Santorini crowds

- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless grout and surfaces, though the cave design can trap humidity.
- Maintenance: Excellent condition, though outdoor cushions fade quickly in the Greek sun.
- Linens & towels: High-quality, plush towels and crisp white linens.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature scent; rooms are fresh unless dehumidifier is off.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is it really adults only?
Yes, strictly 18+. No screaming kids at the pool.
Do I need a car?
Yes. 100% yes. Relying on taxis will cost you a fortune and waste your time.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, usually an a la carte menu (continental/American) served by the pool.
How is the WiFi?
Generally good in common areas, but can be spotty deep inside the thick-walled cave rooms.
Is the pool heated?
No, it's a saltwater infinity pool. Refreshing in July, chilly in May/October.
Can I walk to the beach?
Technically yes, Agia Irini is a 15-20 min walk, but it's a dusty trek back uphill. Better to drive.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Book the 'Sunset Yin Yoga & Sound Bath' early; it sells out and is the hotel's best non-room feature.
- ✨
Skip the hotel dinner and drive 5 mins to Taverna Livadaki for a more authentic (and cheaper) seaside meal.
- ✨
The 'Cave' rooms are great for sleeping but can feel claustrophobic; leave the dehumidifier running.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'sea view' from ground floor rooms is often partially blocked by landscaping.
💡Room service stops at midnight, so stock up on snacks if you're a night owl.
💡The bathroom lighting in cave suites is moody (read: dim) – hard for doing makeup.
💡There are actually two pools, but everyone fights for chairs at the main infinity one.
💡Wind can be intense on this side of the island; the 'Meltemi' winds in August are no joke.
