Avant Mar Redefines Luxury on Paros

The 5-star Avant Mar hotel, nestled on the picturesque Greek island of Paros, has completed its first full season in 2024, solidifying its reputation as a premier luxury destination. Following its debut in July 2023, the hotel has quickly become synonymous with world-class hospitality, offering guests a seamless blend of serene luxury and vibrant island life.

Reflecting on this milestone, Avant Mar‘s General Manager, Anna Asimakopoulou, shared her pride in the hotel’s accomplishments. “2024 marked a significant milestone for Avant Mar as we completed our first full season, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Our dedicated team of professionals worked tirelessly to create unforgettable memories for our guests,” she told Greek Travel Pages, leading travel and tourism guide and business directory in Greece.

Exclusive Offerings and Unparalleled Guest Experiences

Avant Mar’s standout facilities, including direct beach access, proximity to the lively town of Naoussa, and the world-renowned Matsuhisa Paros restaurant, have set it apart in Paros’s competitive luxury hospitality market. Guests have also been enchanted by The Bridge gin and tonic bar, which offers a sophisticated twist on classic cocktails.

“We distinguish ourselves through exclusive offerings and unparalleled guest experiences,” Asimakopoulou explained. “Our Matsuhisa Paros restaurant brings world-class dining to the island, while our beach access and proximity to Naoussa allow guests to enjoy both tranquillity and vibrant island culture. These features, combined with personalised service, make Avant Mar a divine destination for luxury travellers.”

The summer of 2024 was a resounding success for the hotel, with high occupancy rates and overwhelmingly positive feedback from guests and industry insiders alike. Early bookings for 2025 are already reflecting strong demand, particularly from the American market, a key driver of Avant Mar’s success.

Nobu Food Festival and Culinary Excellence

One of the hotel’s most notable achievements of the year was hosting the Nobu Food Festival 2024, which featured acclaimed chef Nobu Matsuhisa. The event showcased his signature culinary artistry, creating a unique and memorable experience for attendees.

Looking ahead, Avant Mar is set to host the Nobu Food Festival again in July 2025. “We aim to build on the success of last year’s event by offering even more innovative culinary experiences,” said Asimakopoulou. “Nobu Matsuhisa’s dedication to excellence has set the standard for our collaborations, aligning perfectly with our mission to provide exceptional and memorable moments for our guests.”

Leadership and Team Excellence

At the heart of Avant Mar’s success lies its dedicated team. Under Asimakopoulou’s leadership, the hotel fosters a culture of collaboration, open communication, and a commitment to excellence. “My leadership philosophy centres on mentoring and fostering a collaborative environment,” she shared. “Clear communication and teamwork are the foundations of our success, and I strive to empower my team to consistently exceed guest expectations.”

The hotel places a strong emphasis on professional development and continuous training to ensure its staff delivers exceptional service. “Our team is the heart and soul of Avant Mar,” Asimakopoulou remarked. “We prioritise cultivating a positive work environment and fostering a culture of mutual respect and passion for hospitality.”

With plans to introduce exciting new projects in 2025, Avant Mar continues to elevate the luxury hospitality experience on Paros. The hotel’s dedication to innovation and guest satisfaction is poised to further enhance its reputation as a sought-after destination, contributing to the island’s allure as a haven for luxury travellers.
