Villa Suki | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Santa Maria Naousa

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa Suki in Santa Maria, Paros, and the first thing they notice is silence—the kind that comes only from genuine seclusion on one of Greece’s most treasured islands. This luxury villa rental in Santa Maria Paros comprises two architecturally distinct houses, each designed for autonomy yet positioned to function as a single expansive compound. The result is flexibility without compromise: families can spread across both structures, groups can gather effortlessly, and multi-generational parties find enough space that no one feels crowded.

Inside Villa Suki

Villa Suki sleeps 14 guests across 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, arranged across two interconnected dwellings that maximize both privacy and social space.

The primary residence unfolds across three distinct levels. Ascend to the first floor and you’ll find Bedroom 1—a double with an ensuite bathroom—positioned to catch morning light and the distant sound of the Aegean. The ground floor opens into a fully equipped kitchen with a dining table, followed by a living room where a working fireplace transforms evening gatherings into something genuinely intimate. Descend to the lower ground floor and the geometry shifts: here sits a capacious lounge furnished with two sofa beds (each convertible between single and double configurations), flanking two staff or guest bedrooms with single beds. A dedicated bathroom, guest WC, and storage closet service this level, making it ideal for household staff or teenage guests who appreciate their own entrance and facilities.

The second residence operates as a self-contained unit, holding four ensuite double bedrooms, each with direct external access. This architectural separation allows guests in one structure to entertain without disturbing sleepers in the other—critical for large groups with different schedules.

Throughout both houses, air-conditioning maintains comfort in summer months, while high-speed Wi-Fi ensures connectivity for those who need it. Smart TVs, a stereo system, and an iPod dock provide entertainment. A safe deposit box protects valuables. The DVD player preserves the old-school ritual of movie nights on Greek islands.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior at Villa Suki reads as an extension of the living space rather than an afterthought. A generous swimming pool dominates the garden, framed by sun loungers and parasols positioned to catch different angles of light throughout the day. The gas barbecue and adjoining preparation area convert the terrace into a working kitchen for those who prefer alfresco cooking—grilled octopus with lemon, fresh fish from the morning catch, vegetables from local markets. An outdoor toilet eliminates indoor traffic during long pool days. Shaded dining and lounge areas provide refuge during the afternoon heat, essential when the Aegean sun peaks between June and August.

The layout encourages both separation and congregation: guests can disappear into private alcoves or gather around the pool bar for aperitivos as the sun descends toward the horizon.

Location: Santa Maria and the Surrounding Area

Santa Maria sits on Paros’s northeastern coast, approximately 12km from the island’s capital and main port at Parikia. The area is defined by white-sand beaches, shallow turquoise water, and a village atmosphere that retains authentic Cycladic character without the overcrowding of more famous Aegean destinations.

The beach at Santa Maria itself lies 800 metres from Villa Suki—close enough for a morning swim, distant enough to ensure genuine tranquility at night. Nearby Logaras Beach, 3km south, is renowned among windsurfers for consistent afternoon winds and welcomes swimmers in calmer conditions. Golden Beach (or Chryssi Akti), 7km further south, stretches for 500 metres and is frequently rated among Greece’s finest—families appreciate the gradual shelf and lifeguard presence during peak season.

Naoussa, 8km south, transforms the coastal landscape into something more vital. This fishing village has evolved into a micro-resort without losing character: narrow streets lined with whitewashed buildings, family-run tavernas serving daily catches, boutique wine shops reflecting Paros’s small but quality viticulture industry. The harbor fills with caiques and sailing boats; waterfront restaurants serve grilled fish at sunset. For supplies, the supermarket near the central plateia (square) stocks everything from Greek staples to international groceries.

Parikia, 12km away, houses the main ferry terminal (essential for island hopping to Naxos, Antiparos, or Mykonos), the archaeological museum containing Parian marble fragments, and the Church of Panagia Ekatontapiliani—one of the Aegean’s most significant Byzantine monuments, built in the 6th century and featuring intricate stone work that influenced church architecture across the region.

Antiparos lies just 2km to the west by boat—a smaller, quieter sister island with stalactite caves near the port and beaches accessible by small caique rental. Marble quarries still operate on Paros (the stone built the Pantheon and the Venus de Milo), and quarry visits can be arranged through local guides.

For dining, Santa Maria has tavernas within walking distance; several specialize in grilled fish and local cheese (try graviera and kefalotyri from the traditional dairy in Naoussa). The village of Marpissa, 5km inland, preserves a medieval kastro (fortress) and offers restaurants with views across the Aegean to Naxos.

Seasonally, Paros peaks from mid-June through August (warm, dry, occasional afternoon winds), though May and September offer nearly identical weather with half the crowds and significantly cheaper ferries from Athens. April and October remain pleasant for extended pool days, though occasional rain is possible. Winter months (November-March) are quiet and cool, suited only to travelers seeking genuine solitude.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Suki functions optimally for groups requiring genuine separation between adults and younger guests, or between couples seeking autonomy within a larger gathering. Multi-generational families—grandparents, parents, adult children—benefit from the two-house configuration: grandparents occupy the primary residence with its fireplace and quieter atmosphere, while younger families use the guest wing with its direct pool access.

Corporate retreats and friendship groups of 8-14 appreciate the flexible sleeping arrangements: the two sofa beds in the lower lounge accommodate last-minute guests without crowding bedrooms. Staff or household help can stay in the dedicated single-bed rooms, enabling seamless meal preparation and housekeeping.

It is less suited to parties seeking nightlife (Naoussa’s bars are pleasant but low-key) or to guests with mobility issues, as the primary residence spans three levels with stairs between each floor.

Practical Information

Villa Suki accommodates 14 guests maximum across 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. The nearest airport is Paros National Airport (also called Parikia Airport), 12km south—approximately 20-25 minutes by car. No direct international flights operate; most guests arrive via Athens International Airport (approximately 240km away, 2.5 hours by ferry plus 30-minute drive from Parikia port) or fly into Mykonos (40km by ferry, 1 hour).

Transfer services from the port are available through Excellence Luxury Villas. The nearest supermarket is in Naoussa (8km, 10-minute drive). A maid service and private chef are available through the villa’s management—essential for groups of 14 who wish to avoid cooking entirely, though the kitchen’s full equipment suits self-catering travelers.

Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, heating, pool access, linen, and towels are included in the rental. Utilities (electricity, water) are typically included; confirm with booking. Check-in is flexible based on previous guest departure and seasonal cleaning schedules. Dogs are not mentioned as permitted—verify pet policy at time of inquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions about Villa Suki

How many guests does Villa Suki sleep?

Villa Suki accommodates 14 guests across 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms. The configuration includes one double ensuite (Bedroom 1), four double ensuites with private external entrances (Bedrooms 2-5), two single staff or guest bedrooms, and a lounge with two convertible sofa beds that function as either singles or doubles depending on guest preference.

What is the nearest airport to Villa Suki in Santa Maria?

Paros National Airport lies 12km south of Villa Suki, a 20-25 minute drive via the main coastal road to Parikia. However, this airport operates limited international flights; most overseas guests arrive at Athens International Airport (240km away), then travel 2.5 hours by ferry to Parikia port, followed by a 30-minute taxi or transfer to the villa. Mykonos Airport is an alternative arrival point (40km away via 1-hour ferry).

What is the best time of year to rent Villa Suki?

June through August offers guaranteed sunshine, warm sea temperatures (24-26°C), and reliable winds for water sports, though ferry schedules are packed and prices peak. May and September provide nearly identical weather (22-25°C sea temperature, 10+ hours of daily sunshine) with significantly fewer tourists and lower rates. April and October are pleasant for pool use (15-17°C sea temperature, 18-20°C air), though rain is possible. November through March is quiet, cool (8-15°C), and suited only to travelers seeking solitude or writers on retreat.

Is Villa Suki suitable for families with children?

Yes, with caveats. The private swimming pool is the primary advantage—no beach commute needed for young swimmers. Santa Maria’s actual beach is 800 metres away and features a shallow shelf, ideal for toddlers and non-strong swimmers. Nearby Golden Beach (7km) employs lifeguards during summer and is family-friendly. The lower-ground lounge’s sofa beds suit teenagers. However, the primary residence’s stairs between levels require supervision of very young children (under 4). A maid service can help manage the complexity of feeding and managing a large family group. Confirm car hire availability; many family activities (Antiparos caves, inland villages) require private transport.

What is included in the rental price at Villa Suki?

Standard inclusions typically cover Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, heating, pool access (with chemical maintenance), all bed linen, bath and pool towels, basic kitchen equipment, and a welcome cleaning. Electricity and water are usually included. A maid service (daily or twice-weekly cleaning) and private chef can be arranged for an additional fee. Hot water is provided year-round. Outdoor furniture and parasols are included. Confirm in-season pool heating availability.

What restaurants and shops are near Villa Suki?

Within Santa Maria village (800 metres), several tavernas serve grilled fish, moussaka, and local cheese. Naoussa (8km) has upscale waterfront restaurants including Levantis (fresh fish, traditional preparations) and family-friendly mezze tavernas near the harbor. The central supermarket in Naoussa stocks Greek groceries, wines from Paros’s small wineries, and international items. Marpissa (5km inland) has traditional tavernas with Naxos views and a local dairy selling graviera cheese. For serious provisioning, the supermarket in Parikia (12km) offers the widest selection and competitive prices.
