Ennismore to Debut in Greece with the Addition of Luura to the Morgans Originals Collection
Ennismore, the fastest-growing lifestyle and leisure hospitality company, in partnership with Vivium, a single-family office specialising in luxury residential and hospitality investments, announces the signing of a strategic, long-term partnership that will welcome Luura to Morgans Originals , a collection of one-of-a-kind, independent hotels with an iconic cultural story. On the picturesque island of Paros, two new boutique hotels by Luura will introduce the brand's extraordinary, luxury hospitality to the beautiful destination. Luura Cliff, with 39 keys, will open in April on the western side of Paros for the 2026 season, while Luura Sand, with its 45+ keys, will open on the eastern side of the island in 2027. For Luura Cliff, award-winning Elastic Architects are responsible for the exterior, withinterior design by the renowned Lambs and Lions studio , creating a serene hideaway inspired by the timeless purity of Cycladic architecture. The interior concept, Cycladic Sanctuary with a Lambs and Lions sensibility, will embrace the iconic white cubic buildings, arranged in a harmonious, village-like constellation. Each room will be designed to evoke a sense of privacy, calm, and cosiness, while gently opening into shared spaces that foster organic social encounters. Materiality will also play a central role, and the overall experience will be one of layered tranquillity — a modern-day sanctuary that balances the intimacy of retreat with the warmth of connection, where every element is intentional, tactile, and deeply human. Luura is rooted in family values and fuelled by their passions, including a profound appreciation for art. Luura will work with curators to build a curatorial narrative embedded in the location's culture and story. The first two destinations, Luura Cliff and Luura Sand, will each offer distinct experiences, featuring elements such as a sunset cliff bar, a private chapel, spa and fitness facilities, direct beach access, and event spaces. The two properties will celebrate the originality and beauty of their location while introducing Morgans Originals' signature social energy to the island through four restaurants and bars curated by Ennismore's F&B Platform, with brands from the Rikas Hospitality Group and Paris Society , as well as a new concept created especially for Luura by PSC Hospitality, the group's F&B consultancy studio. Ushering in a new era of hospitality, Morgans Originals first entered the scene in 1984, introducing the world to boutique lifestyle hotels celebrating the originality of one-of-a-kind locations, guests, and communities. Since then, the storied legacy of the brand has continued to shape the industry. Today, Morgans Originals hotels are beacons of style, possibility, and connection — destinations where originality thrives, and meaningful experiences unfold. Every space is created in collaboration with leading creative minds to offer something original, featuring beautiful interiors, a vibrant social scene, and an energy that draws you in. Founded in 2025 by Vivium, Luura is a curated collection of artful hotels rooted in curiosity and guided by a culture of generosity. Each property reflects the family's values and distinctive taste, where every space carries a personal touch and unique character. Combining the intimacy and local expertise of a boutique hotel with the service and amenities of a refined escape, Luura introduces a new kind of stay for the modern voyager. The visionary brand is the result of a unique partnership between Ennismore and Vivium. Further Luura properties are set to open around the Mediterranean in the coming years. The addition of Luura to Morgans Originals will follow Balfour in Miami Beach joining the collection this year, along with the announcement of a Morgans Originals in Trojena, the mountain region of Neom, Saudi Arabia.

We've found those that will save you cash while still being stylish and cosy, with options starting from £90 a night. Pitched on an acre of tree-lined fields, this charming spot has maintained the unpretentious feel of a proper campsite while providing plenty of
