Paros beach clubs cover everything from chic but easy-going beach bars close to Naoussa to more energetic places with DJs, poolside loungers and long afternoons built around cocktails and sea views. For an island this compact, Paros has a surprisingly strong beach club scene.
The first thing to understand before reserving sunbeds is that Paros is still much more relaxed than Mykonos. You can definitely find proper party energy, especially at Punda Coast, but most beach clubs here are more about slow lunches, beautiful bays and lingering on a sunbed than all-day chaos.
We’ve tried a good range of them ourselves, so in this guide we’re sharing the best beach clubs in Paros by atmosphere, location and type of trip. Whether you’re after music and a fun crowd, a scenic bay for a calmer beach day, or a place near Parikia or Naoussa that feels worth what you’re paying, this guide should make choosing much easier.
A few are easy enough to reach by bus, but we still think renting a car is the most convenient way to explore them properly, especially if you want to visit more than one beach in a day without planning everything around bus times.
Paros Beach Clubs Quick Comparison
Here’s a quick comparison of the best Paros beach clubs, including where they are, what they’re best for and roughly what sunbeds cost.
*Prices vary depending on the month, sunbed row and any minimum spend policies, but this should give you a realistic starting point.
Best Paros Beach Clubs: At a Glance
If beach clubs are high on your Paros wish list, Naoussa is generally the best area to stay. You’ll be closer to Monastiri, Santa Maria, RADA and Kolymbithres, and it’s also one of the loveliest parts of the island for evenings once you finally drag yourself away from the beach.
Parikia is the more practical choice if you want easier ferry connections, a wider range of affordable hotels and quick access to Cabana, Marcelo, Parasporos and CRIOS. For a deeper comparison, have a look at my guide to Naoussa or Parikia.
For transport, you can reach some Paros beach clubs by bus, but we still think renting a car makes the whole trip much easier. It lets you beach-hop, stay out for sunset, and reach places like Faragas and Agia Irini without turning your day into a timetable exercise. That’s especially helpful if you’re only on the island for a short stay. If that sounds like your trip, my 3-day Paros itinerary will help you map everything out.
Here’s the quick version:
🌟 Best overall: Monastiri Beach Bar
🌟 Best for party vibes: Punda Coast
🌟 Best quiet option near Naoussa: RADA
🌟 Best-value choices: Laris Beach Bar & Cabana Beach Club
🌟 Best on Golden Beach: Rebel Beach Bar
🌟 Best for a windy day: Faragas
🌟 Best for families: Aliki
Map of the Best Paros Beach Clubs
Paros is not a large island, but seeing the beach clubs on a map makes it much easier to decide whether Naoussa, Parikia or a quieter corner of the island makes the most sense for your stay.
Best Paros Beach Clubs Near Naoussa
If beach clubs are one of the main things you want from your Paros holiday, Naoussa is probably the easiest place to base yourself. You’ll be close to some of the island’s most beautiful and stylish beach spots, including Monastiri, Santa Maria and Kolymbithres, and it’s ideal if you want slow beach days followed by dinner and drinks in town.
We also think Naoussa has the best overall evening atmosphere on Paros, so it’s a great fit if you want that mix of beach time during the day and somewhere atmospheric to wander at night.
⭐️ Monastiri Beach Bar: OUR TOP PICK ⭐️
Set inside a gorgeous bay with turquoise water and framed by dramatic red rocks, Monastiri is easily our favourite beach near Naoussa and one of the most photogenic beach clubs in Paros.
If you want a beach club day that feels more memorable than simply hiring a random pair of sunbeds, this is the one to book. The scenery is stunning, the sea is calm and incredibly clear, and the whole place has a relaxed boho-chic feel. It’s exactly the kind of spot where we could spend the whole day swimming, ordering drinks and doing absolutely nothing useful.
The beach club has comfortable loungers, a restaurant and a laid-back mood earlier in the day that becomes a little more upbeat as the afternoon goes on. We also like that there’s more to do than just lie still for six hours. If you feel like moving, you can rent a canoe or pedalo, and the calm bay is also great for paddleboarding.
Top tip: if you’re travelling in high season, reserve your loungers ahead of time. Prices start at around €50 for a pair, and this is not a place that stays quiet for long.
The name Monastiri comes from the nearby St. John’s of Deti Monastery, which is well worth a short detour while you’re there. It’s very picturesque, with whitewashed walls, a blue dome and lovely views over the bay.
Monastiri Beach is roughly a 15-minute drive from Naoussa and about 20 minutes from Parikia. If you don’t have a car, you can also reach it by bus or by water taxi from Naoussa.
Santa Maria Beach Bar, Paros: Best for a Lively Beach Day
If Monastiri is the more dramatic and scenic option, Santa Maria is one of the best beach clubs near Naoussa for a more upbeat day by the sea.
Located on Santa Maria Beach, around an 11-minute drive east of Naoussa, this is a great choice if you want a wider stretch of sand, a social atmosphere and a beach club that feels stylish without being too flashy. It’s also a strong option if you like your beach day with a bit of activity, as the shallow water is great for swimming and you can rent SUP boards and kayaks.
What stood out to us most at Santa Maria was the space. The beach is long, the water is beautifully clear, and there’s more room to settle in than at some of the smaller coves around Paros. Sunbeds start from roughly €40 per set, cabanas from around €50, and there may be a minimum spend if you eat at the restaurant.
The music is usually fairly relaxed earlier in the day, then gets louder later on, particularly at weekends when DJs often play. So it isn’t wild from morning to night, but it definitely has a livelier feel than somewhere like RADA.
The menu covers cocktails, spirits, sandwiches, salads, fries and healthy bowls, so it works whether you only want drinks and snacks or plan to stay through lunch.
There is a daily bus from Naoussa, which makes Santa Maria one of the easier beach clubs to visit without a car. If you’re based in Parikia, driving will usually be simpler.
RADA: A Stylish Spot Best for a Quiet Beach Day
Set on Agioi Anargyroi Beach, just a short walk from the centre of Naoussa, RADA is the best beach club near town if you want something elegant, calm and a little more grown-up.
This is not where you come for loud DJs and a big party scene. It’s more about well-spaced sunbeds, a peaceful setting, good cocktails and a long, slow lunch. If you prefer a beach club that still feels calm later in the day, or you simply don’t enjoy loud music, RADA is a very good choice.
We also think it’s one of the best places in Paros for a romantic beach day. The whole space feels polished and refined compared with some of the larger beach clubs, and it’s especially convenient if you want to stay close to Naoussa without giving up the full beach-club experience.
The food is another reason to come here. The lunch and dinner menus feel more upscale, with Greek fusion dishes and modern presentation. If you want somewhere you can really linger over lunch instead of just ordering a quick club sandwich and leaving, RADA belongs on your shortlist.
Anemos Beach Club Paros: Best Lower-Key Pick on Kolymbithres Beach
If you’re going to Kolymbithres Beach, Anemos is one of the two main places to rent sun loungers, and it’s the better choice if you want to experience this famous beach without spending quite as much.
Kolymbithres is one of the best beaches near Naoussa and one of the most recognisable beaches in Paros, thanks to its calm, shallow water and those unusual sculpted rock formations that make it feel completely different from the island’s wider sandy bays. It’s excellent for swimming, and because the water stays shallow, it’s also a good choice for families.
Anemos has a smaller sunbed area and a simpler setup than Paros On The Rocks, but that’s part of its appeal. It feels less polished, less fancy and usually a bit more affordable, with prices starting at around €30 for a pair in the shoulder season.
If you want the Kolymbithres setting but aren’t bothered about having the most luxurious lounger on the beach, Anemos is the better-value option.
One thing to keep in mind: if your ideal beach is long, wide and sandy, Kolymbithres might not be your favourite. There isn’t loads of room to spread out with your own towel, although if you arrive early, you may be able to claim a small spot between the rocks.
Paros On The Rocks: Best Kolymbithres Pick for More Comfortable Sunbeds
Paros On The Rocks is the other beach club on Kolymbithres Beach, and it’s the better choice if comfort matters more to you than saving a little money.
It occupies a larger section of one of the small bays between the rocks, and the loungers are noticeably more comfortable than the ones at Anemos. Prices start at around €50 and increase depending on the row, so it is more expensive, but if you’re planning to stay for several hours, we think the extra comfort is worthwhile.
This is the spot we personally preferred at Kolymbithres for that exact reason. The whole setup felt a little more comfortable, and it’s hard to complain too much when you’re stretched out on a better sunbed with that clear water right in front of you.
You can order drinks and light bites directly to your lounger, with food coming from the nearby taverna, which makes it very easy to stay put for the whole afternoon.
Tip: if you’re visiting in July or August, arrive early. Kolymbithres is not a large beach, and it fills up quickly.
Best Paros Beach Clubs Near Parikia
If you’re staying in Parikia, you have several very good beach clubs within easy reach, and it’s the most convenient base if you want ferry access, more accommodation choice and straightforward everyday logistics. The beach clubs around Parikia are nicely varied: some are affordable and relaxed, while others feel more polished and design-focused.
Cabana Beach Bar – Great Sun Bed Prices Near Parikia
If you want a laid-back beach club near Parikia with fairly priced sunbeds and a solid casual menu, Cabana is one of the best-value options in this part of Paros.
It sits on the northern side of Parikia Bay, about a 9-minute drive from town, and if you’re staying near Livadia Beach, you can even walk there along the coast. Compared with some of the more expensive beach clubs in Paros, Cabana feels easier and less showy, which we actually really liked.
The beach club is fairly small, with views back towards Parikia and a compact beach edged with palm trees. Sunbeds start at around €30 for a set in June, which is one of the main reasons it stood out to us. It felt noticeably better value than many other beach clubs on the island, without feeling basic.
The menu includes sandwiches, burgers and salads, and we also appreciated the complimentary water and genuinely friendly service, which always wins points with us. Earlier in the day, the vibe is chilled, but later it can turn more upbeat with louder music and live DJs.
If you want somewhere near Parikia that feels fun without the higher sunbed prices of the island’s more polished beach clubs, Cabana is a really solid choice.
Marcelo Beach – Best for a Spacious Beach
Marcelo is a good pick if you want a beach club close to Parikia but prefer a more spacious, relaxed and less polished-feeling beach day.
Located on the Krios/Kriotiri side near Parikia, Marcelo has a broad sandy beach, large plush loungers and more space between sunbeds than you’ll find at some of the smaller, tighter beach clubs around the island. That makes it a good option for couples and families who want a calmer setup rather than somewhere that feels too scene-focused.
Sunbeds start from around €35 per set, depending on how close you are to the water. The menu includes pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, cheese and cold cut platters, along with a good cocktail list, and there are often DJs in the afternoon.
One thing to know is that Marcelo is not especially convenient by bus. If you want to visit, driving is the easiest option. In peak season, it’s also worth arriving earlier in the day, especially if you want the better beds and more choice.
Parasporos Beach Club & Restaurant – Best Budget-Friendly Pick Near Parikia
If you want an easy-going beach day near Parikia without spending too much, Parasporos is one of the best-value beach clubs in Paros.
It sits in a sheltered bay just a short drive from the port, but even though it’s close to town, it feels quieter and more relaxed than you might expect. The water is usually calm and crystal clear, making it a lovely swimming spot, especially on windy days when some of the more exposed beaches are less inviting.
The beach club is family-run, and you can feel that in the atmosphere. It’s friendlier and less polished than some of the more design-led places in this guide, but that’s exactly why we like it. Sunbed rental is also much cheaper than at many other Paros beach clubs, starting from around €30, so it’s a great option if you want the beach-club experience without the painful price tag.
The taverna serves traditional Greek dishes, grilled meat and seafood, along with lighter choices like salads, sandwiches and burgers, so it works well whether you want a long lazy lunch or just a relaxed beach stop.
CRIOS Beach Bar & Restaurant – A Stylish Pick
Set on beautiful Crios Beach, CRIOS is a strong choice if you want a beach club that feels stylish and a little more upscale.
It’s about a 10-minute drive from Parikia, and of all the beach clubs we visited, this one felt the most complete. The design is elegant without being overdone, with wood, stone details and a boho look that feels chic rather than forced.
You can swim in clear water, order cocktails to your lounger, stay for lunch and then let the day roll on into late afternoon. The menu is wide-ranging, with sushi, sandwiches and handmade pita breads, plus pasta, seafood, meat dishes and a separate dessert menu.
CRIOS also works well if you want a beach day that picks up a little energy later on. They host DJ sets, live music and themed events, so although it isn’t a full-on party beach club, it definitely doesn’t feel sleepy.
Other Great Beach Clubs in Paros
Naoussa and Parikia are the two main bases most travellers choose, but several of the best beach clubs in Paros are found elsewhere around the island. These are the places worth driving to if you want a party beach club, a long sandy beach, a sheltered bay on a windy day, or somewhere quieter and a little more out of the way.
Punda Coast: Best Paros Beach Club for a Party
If you want proper party vibes, Punda Beach Paros is the obvious choice.
Located on the east coast near Marpissa and Logaras, this is the place to go if you want a younger crowd, louder music and a beach club that feels like an actual beach club rather than just a pleasant spot with loungers. It’s also one of the few places in Paros where people come specifically for the atmosphere as much as for the beach.
The setting is still beautiful, though. Punda sits on a pretty bay with golden sand and shallow, clear water, so the party atmosphere doesn’t come at the expense of the beach itself. There’s also a large pool, different lounge areas both by the sea and around the pool, and a range of sunbed options depending on your budget.
Sunbeds start at around €30, with prices rising depending on the type of bed and how close you are to the water. The drinks menu includes cocktails, wines, spirits, smoothies and juices, while the food is casual, with pizzas, salads and Buddha bowls.
Earlier in the day, the music is more relaxed and house-style, but as the afternoon goes on, the energy builds. On weekends in particular, this is where to come for DJs, dancing and a more social crowd.
Rebel Beach Bar: Best for Chilled Vibes
If you’re heading to Golden Beach and want somewhere casual, easy and relaxed, Rebel is one of the best choices.
It’s located on Chrisi Akti, one of the best beaches in Paros if you like long stretches of soft sand and plenty of room. Compared with some of the more polished or expensive beach clubs in this guide, Rebel feels more laid-back and unfussy, which is a big part of its charm.
The menu is also reasonably priced by Paros standards, with cocktails, beer and wine, plus salads, burgers and sandwiches. We especially liked the shrimp tacos and hummus with pita bread, so it’s a good place to choose if you’re planning to stay for lunch rather than just rent a sunbed for an hour or two.
Aside from swimming and lounging, you can also rent a paddleboard here, which is a nice bonus if you want to break up the day.
If you want a Golden Beach beach club that feels fun but not overly scene-y, Rebel is a very good option.
Sal Y Mar Beach Lounge: Best for a More Stylish Golden Beach Day
Sal Y Mar is another solid option on Golden Beach, but it feels a little more polished than Rebel.
Set on the western end of the beach, it’s a good choice if you want the long sand and clear water of Golden Beach with a slightly more styled beach-lounge atmosphere. It still doesn’t feel overly fancy, but it does feel more like somewhere you’d settle in for drinks, lunch and a longer beach day rather than just a quick stop.
The drinks list is generous, with cocktails, wines, beers, coffees and fresh juices, and when you get hungry, there’s a menu of pizzas, sandwiches and salads.
If Rebel is the more casual Golden Beach choice, Sal Y Mar is the one I’d pick when you want the same beach but with a slightly more put-together feel.
Faragas Beach Club, Paros: Best Beach Club in Paros on a Windy Day
Faragas is one of our favourite beaches in Paros, and if the wind picks up while you’re on the island, this is one of the smartest places to go.
Tucked into a protected bay on the south side of the island, Faragas is much more sheltered than many of Paros’ more exposed beaches. That usually means calmer water, better swimming conditions and a far more enjoyable beach day when the wind is causing its usual Greek-island drama elsewhere.
The beach itself has soft golden sand, shallow clear water and a really pretty setting, with a small viewpoint up on the rocks. The beach club offers a mix of sunbeds and umbrellas, with prices generally ranging from around €30 to €50 depending on the setup.
The menu includes cocktails, beers, wines, sandwiches, pizzas, salads and seafood, so it’s a good place for a full beach day rather than just a quick swim.
If you’re renting a car and want one reliable backup option for windy days in Paros, make it Faragas.
CACTUS Beach Paros: Best for a Low-Key Beach Day Near Logaras
CACTUS is a good choice if you want something more relaxed and understated, without the party energy of nearby Punda Coast.
It’s located on Logaras Beach, close to Piso Livadi and Marpissa, and the overall mood here is much calmer and more family-friendly. If Punda is the loud younger sibling, CACTUS is where you go for an easier beach day with decent food and friendly service.
The beach club has sunbed rental starting at €20, and the menu includes salads, sandwiches, burgers, grilled seafood and meat, plus cocktails, beers and wines. It isn’t the fanciest place on the island, but that isn’t really the point. It’s simply a pleasant, uncomplicated spot to spend a few hours by the sea.
Aliki: Best for Families
If you’re travelling with children, or you just want a beach club day without loud music and a party crowd, Aliki is one of the best choices in Paros.
Located on the southern coast, Aliki is more of a small beach village than a classic beach-club destination, but that’s exactly why it works so well for families and anyone looking for a quieter day. The beach is small, the water is shallow, and because the bay is sheltered, it’s also a good option when the wind is stronger elsewhere on the island.
You won’t find a flashy beach club scene here. Instead, you get a relaxed beach with sunbed rental, food and drinks close by, and a much calmer atmosphere than places like Punda or Santa Maria.
If that sounds like your kind of beach day, Aliki is a great pick.
Laris Beach Bar: Best Sun Bed Prices
If you want a beach club that feels a little more hidden away, Laris Beach Bar on Agia Irini is worth considering.
This is one of the more secluded beach club options in Paros, and it feels far more remote than the beaches around Naoussa, Parikia or Golden Beach. The beach itself is lovely, and the setting is ideal if you want somewhere quieter and more removed from the busier parts of the island.
Sunbeds start from €10, and the menu includes cocktails, beer, wine, coffee, salads, sandwiches, seafood dishes and desserts.
The main thing to know is that it isn’t the easiest place to reach. The road down is narrow and bumpy, so it’s not somewhere you casually pop to without your own transport. But if you have a car and fancy a beach club that feels more off the beaten path, it’s a good one to keep in mind.
Paros Beach Clubs: FAQ
Does Paros have good beach clubs?
Yes — Paros has a much better beach club scene than you might expect for such a small island. You’ll find stylish beach bars with comfortable loungers and proper lunch menus, as well as livelier places with DJs and party vibes. Just don’t expect Mykonos-level intensity everywhere, because most beach clubs in Paros are more relaxed.
What is the best beach club in Paros?
If we had to choose only one, I’d pick Monastiri. It has the most memorable setting of any beach club in Paros, with turquoise water, dramatic red rocks and a calm bay that feels perfect for a long lazy beach day. If you want somewhere that feels genuinely special rather than just trendy, this is the one.
Which Paros beach club is best for partying?
Punda Coast is the best beach club in Paros for a party atmosphere. Go here if you want DJs, a younger crowd, louder music and a much more social energy than you’ll find at the island’s quieter beach bars.
Are Paros beach clubs expensive?
Some of them are, especially in peak summer and especially if you want front-row loungers or cabanas. In general, prices vary quite a lot depending on the beach club, the sunbed row and the season. Cabana, Parasporos and Anemos are usually better-value options, while Monastiri, Santa Maria and CRIOS feel more like a splurge.
Which area of Paros is best for beach clubs?
If beach clubs are a major part of your trip, Naoussa is probably the best base. You’ll be closer to Monastiri, Santa Maria, RADA and Kolymbithres, and it’s also one of the nicest areas for evenings out. Parikia is more practical if you want ferry convenience and quick access to Cabana, Marcelo, Parasporos and CRIOS.
Can you get to Paros beach clubs by bus?
Some of them, yes. If you’re staying in Naoussa or Parikia, you can reach several beach clubs by bus, including places like Monastiri, Santa Maria and Punda Coast. But if you want to beach-hop properly or visit more spread-out spots like Faragas, Agia Irini or Marcelo, renting a car will make your life much easier.
Do you need to book Paros beach clubs in advance?
In July and August, yes — for the popular beach clubs, booking ahead is a very good idea. Places like Monastiri, Santa Maria and CRIOS can get busy in peak season, especially if you want the best beds or front-row positions. Outside the busiest weeks, you can be more flexible, but I’d still reserve if you have your heart set on a specific place.
Which Paros beach clubs are best for families?
Aliki is one of the best choices for families because of its calm, shallow water and quieter atmosphere. Monastiri is also a good option if you want a scenic beach day with calm swimming conditions, and Kolymbithres works well too, especially thanks to its sheltered water and unusual rock formations.
Which Paros beach clubs are best on a windy day?
Faragas is one of the best beach clubs in Paros for a windy day because it sits in a more protected bay on the south side of the island. Aliki and Parasporos can also be useful backups when the more exposed beaches are getting hit by wind.
Is Paros a party island?
Not really — at least not in the way Mykonos is. Paros has nightlife, beach bars and a few places with genuine party energy, but overall the atmosphere is more laid-back and much less intense. Honestly, that’s a big part of why we like it.
Final Thoughts
For such a compact island, Paros has an impressively good beach club scene. The key thing to know is that it leans more towards stylish, relaxed beach days than full-on party chaos, which is honestly one of the reasons we enjoy it so much.
If we could choose only one, I’d go for Monastiri because of its beautiful setting and calm bay. For a more polished beach club day near Naoussa, RADA is a great option, while Punda Coast is the clear choice if you want DJs and a livelier crowd.
And if you’re someone who likes having choices, renting a car makes it much easier to move between different beaches and beach clubs without losing half your holiday to logistics.
