New in Europe

The five-star property will be arranged across four heritage buildings, housing a total 31 suites and rooms. The phased opening of the hotel will also see a Como Shambhala Retreat, the first of its kind in France, and dining options and wine experiences. Â
Parga Beach Resort
Greece’s Mast Hotels & Resorts is updating its Parga Beach Resort in the north-west of the country. Set directly on blue-flag Valtos Beach, the luxury resort is unveiling 23 new luxury suites in May 2023. The decision to expand was made further to the resort experiencing a 30% increase in bookings year on year post-pandemic.
The suites will feature a harmonious minimal design and will be fully equipped with private balconies, terraces, some with private plunge pools.
