Cyprus blends beautiful Mediterranean beaches, historic towns and mountain scenery, where ancient heritage, traditional villages and year-round sunshine create an effortlessly relaxed escape.
Cyprus blends golden beaches, mountain landscapes and centuries of history, where Mediterranean coastlines, ancient ruins and traditional villages create a destination rich in both character and natural beauty. From the lively waterfronts of Paphos and Limassol to quieter corners of the island, journeys balance relaxation, culture and a warm year-round climate.
Beyond its celebrated coastline, Cyprus reveals vineyard-covered hills, Byzantine monasteries and the forested slopes of the Troodos Mountains. Historic towns, archaeological treasures and picturesque villages offer a deeper connection to the island's past, while local cuisine and hospitality remain central to the experience.
Long summers encourage beach days, sailing and outdoor dining, while spring and autumn bring ideal conditions for exploring the island's diverse landscapes. Across Cyprus, elegant beachfront resorts, boutique retreats and contemporary hotels provide stylish bases from which to discover one of the Mediterranean's most appealing destinations.
Elysium Hotel in Paphos is a beachfront stay next to the Tombs of the Kings, known for its strong sense of place, mature gardens and a layout that feels more like a private estate than a standard resort. The hotel is arranged around a series of courtyards, walkways and garden spaces that lead you gradually down towards the sea, rather than opening everything up at once. You move between shaded stone paths, open terraces and pool areas without ever feeling exposed, which gives the whole place a quieter, more contained atmosphere despite its size. The main pool sits at the centre of it all, designed across different levels with separate sections rather than one open expanse, so it never turns into a single busy focal point. From there, the grounds extend towards the seafront, with enough depth and planting to create privacy between areas, making it easy to spend the day without constantly being in the middle of everything. para-2 Rooms start from Deluxe categories, which are well sized with private balconies and either garden or sea views, and are comfortable enough to settle into properly rather than just passing through. Sea view rooms are the better option here, as they tie the room back into the wider setting rather than facing inward. The stronger options sit in the suites and villas, particularly the Garden Villa Suites with Private Pool and Studio Suites with Private Pool, which give you your own outdoor space without losing access to the main hotel. The Royal Wing sits slightly apart, with its own pool and a quieter feel, which works well if you want a more contained stay within the hotel. para-3 There are five main restaurants, and they are distinct enough to give the week some variation. Lemonia Piazza sets the tone in the morning with a proper breakfast setup, while Epicurean Restaurant handles evening buffets with a broad international range. Ristorante Bacco focuses on Italian dishes, O Shin covers pan Asian cuisine, and Mediterraneo sits closest to the sea with a more relaxed Mediterranean menu. The bars are spread across the hotel rather than centred in one place, which suits the layout and keeps evenings feeling calm rather than concentrated. para-4 The pool setup is one of the stronger parts of the stay, with the main multi level pool broken into sections including hydro massage areas and quieter corners, so you are not competing for the same space all day. There is also a separate pool for guests staying in the Royal Wing, which keeps that part of the hotel more private. Beyond the pool, the grounds give you room to walk and move without needing to leave the hotel, while the seafront position means you can step straight out to the coast when you want a change from the gardens. Tennis courts, diving and a full gym are there if you want them, but the hotel works just as well doing very little. para-5 The Opium Health Spa is a proper part of the hotel rather than an add on, with an indoor pool, sauna, steam room and a full treatment menu covering massage and hydrotherapy. It gives you a solid indoor option, especially outside peak summer. para-6 The hotel sits directly next to the Tombs of the Kings, around a 20 minute walk from Paphos Harbour and the archaeological park, with Paphos Airport approximately 30 minutes away.
From £165 per night
The Annabelle, part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is a family run five star hotel on the Paphos seafront, known for its gardens, harbour location and easy Mediterranean pace. The hotel works because everything feels close and natural, with gardens, pools, restaurants and the seafront all flowing into one another rather than feeling spread across a large resort. Days tend to start slowly at Fontana, move out through the gardens towards the pool, then drift towards the harbour or beach without needing much planning. The tropical gardens give The Annabelle its character, especially around the main pool, where palms, waterfalls and shaded corners make it feel softer than many city seafront hotels. It has a classic resort rhythm, but the location keeps it connected to Paphos rather than cut off from it. para-2 Rooms range from Inland View Rooms through to Sea View Rooms, Garden Studios and larger suites, so the choice depends mainly on how much outdoor space and sea outlook you want. Terrace Sea View Rooms and Panorama Sea View Rooms are strong options if the view matters, while Garden Studio Suites feel closer to the greenery and pool areas. The suite categories add more space for longer stays, especially the Artemis Sea View Suite, Superior Sea View One Bedroom Suite and Alecos Sea View Suites. The Sea View Studio Suite with Private Pool is the standout if you want a more private base while still having the full hotel around you. para-3 There are four restaurants and five bars, giving The Annabelle plenty of variety without losing its classic hotel feel. Fontana handles the Cypriot breakfast and relaxed dining, Mediterraneo brings a seafront setting for Mediterranean dishes, Amorosa is the more polished fine dining option, and Ouranos Rooftop Restaurant adds another layer above the gardens with broader, more contemporary flavours. The bars help shape the day well, from drinks around the pool to the open air Grotto and the rooftop Ouranos Lounge & Bar. Antasia Beach Bar, a short walk away, adds a separate beachside option with Asian Mediterranean food and a livelier coastal mood when you want a change from the main hotel. para-4 The main pool is one of the hotel’s defining spaces, with swim in caves, waterfalls and garden planting giving it a proper holiday feel rather than just a place to cool off. There are also additional outdoor pool areas, plus direct access towards the seafront when you want to move closer to the water. Paphos is part of the experience here, not just a nearby town. You can spend the day between the gardens, pool and spa, then walk out to the harbour, castle, shops and tavernas without needing a car, which makes the stay feel easy from morning through evening. para-5 Ouranos Wellbeing Spa is adults only and brings together treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, rooftop indoor pool and a fitness centre. It gives the hotel a quieter upper level retreat, particularly useful when you want a break from the main pool and seafront. para-6 The hotel is directly on the Paphos seafront, a short walk from the harbour, medieval castle, shops, bars and archaeological sites, with Paphos Airport approximately 16 km away, making it one of the easiest luxury hotels in the city for combining pool time with proper access to the town.
From £140 per night
Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort, a five star resort on the coast at Peyia, is a large scale stay built around a private stretch of shoreline and a wide spread of facilities that keep you on site. The hotel is spread across a large seafront site, with the main buildings stepping down towards the shoreline and the central pool terraces sitting between the rooms and the beach. Restaurants and bars are positioned across this stretch, so you move between them depending on where you are during the day, from poolside in the afternoon to different dining spots in the evening. The private beach runs along the front of the resort, so access to the sea is direct from the main areas, and most days naturally split between the pool terraces and the shoreline. It feels open and expansive, with enough space between areas to avoid everything gathering into one point. para-2 Rooms begin with well-proportioned sea facing and resort facing options, centred on generous internal space and private balconies, giving you a comfortable base while the focus of the stay remains on the wider hotel. From there, the experience moves into the Residence Rooms with Private Pool and the larger Residence Suites, where outdoor space becomes part of daily use, with private terraces and pools that give you a quieter, more self-contained way to spend time without stepping back into the main resort. para-3 Dining is a major part of the hotel, with five named restaurants and a wider mix of bars and casual venues across the resort. Sky 7 focuses on Mediterranean cooking in a more elevated setting, Bonsai introduces Japanese cuisine, Sapori leans Italian, Yeronisos covers broader international dining, and Kohili sits closer to the water with a more relaxed approach. The bars are spread across the same areas, from poolside spots through to evening venues, so where you eat and drink changes depending on where you are in the resort rather than staying in one place. It gives the evenings more variation than smaller hotels. para-4 There are three outdoor pools positioned across the resort, along with an indoor pool, but the private beach is the key part of the day. The 130 metre stretch of shoreline gives you direct access to the sea, and most guests move between pool and beach depending on the time of day. Beyond that, the hotel runs with a full resort setup. Tennis courts, water sports, horse riding and organised excursions are all available, so the day can be as active or as slow as you want it to be. It is a hotel where you can stay entirely on site without running out of things to do. para-5 The Luxury Spa by Valmont & Cinq Mondes is a large part of the hotel, with treatment rooms, indoor pool, sauna, hammam and relaxation areas all included. The gym sits alongside it, set up to the same level, making the whole space feel like a proper facility rather than an add on. para-6 The hotel is located in Peyia on the southwest coast of Cyprus, around 300 metres from Kafizis Beach, 16 km from the Tombs of the Kings and approximately 30 km from Paphos Airport, placing it just outside the main town with easy access when needed.
From £185 per night
Amara, part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is a five star beachfront stay just outside Limassol where every room faces the sea, built for long, uninterrupted days by the water rather than time spent moving around a resort. Life here settles quickly into a simple rhythm centred on the seafront. Mornings start with a clear, open view straight out to the horizon, followed by breakfast on the terrace before drifting down towards the main pool and beach below. The hotel keeps everything facing forward, so wherever you are, the sea stays part of the day rather than something you visit once and leave behind. Days move easily between the pool terrace and the private beach, with enough space across both to avoid the usual early rush for sunbeds. As the light shifts, the upper levels and terraces start to take over, particularly around sunset, when the whole place naturally slows rather than needing to be programmed. para-2 Rooms are designed around the view first and space second, with private terraces or balconies used properly rather than as an afterthought. Deluxe Sea View Rooms and Grand Deluxe Rooms give you a straightforward base, while the Deluxe Sea View Suites and Grand Deluxe Suites add more separation for longer stays. The Seafront Cabana Suites and Penthouse Duplex Suites with private pools change the feel again, bringing you closer to the water or giving you more privacy higher up, which makes a noticeable difference if you are planning to spend real time in the room. para-3 There are six restaurants and several bars, and the line up is stronger than most in Cyprus. Matsuhisa Limassol is the standout, with Nobu’s Japanese Peruvian menu drawing people in its own right, while Ristorante Locatelli delivers a more classic Italian evening that feels more formal without being stiff. NEREA sits closest to the water and works best during the day or early evening with seafood, while Beefbar introduces a completely different style alongside the main restaurant, which covers breakfast and broader menus. Bars are positioned across the main terrace and upper levels, so drinks naturally shift from poolside during the day to something more elevated in the evening. para-4 The infinity pool is the centre of the day, set just above the beach so you can move between the two without breaking the flow. The private beach below gives a quieter alternative when the pool picks up, and both are large enough to avoid feeling crowded. There is also an indoor pool within the spa, plus a separate adults only seawater pool which feels more removed and quieter. A gym and tennis court sit away from the main areas, so you can stay active without cutting across the more relaxed parts of the hotel. para-5 The spa is one of the stronger parts of the hotel, built around a seawater pool that is not common in Cyprus and gives it more presence than a standard setup. Alongside that, there is an indoor heated pool, sauna, hammam and treatment rooms, plus a proper gym rather than a token one. para-6 The hotel sits around 20 minutes from Limassol Marina and the old town, so it works best as a self contained beachfront stay with occasional trips out rather than somewhere you walk in and out of, with Larnaca Airport approximately 60 kilometres away.
From £280 per night
Anassa, part of The Leading Hotels of the World, is a beachfront village style resort near Latchi where the beach, spa and restaurants make it one of Cyprus strongest full stay hotels. The resort feels more like a coastal village than a single hotel building, with rooms, suites, restaurants and terraces spread between gardens, pools and a central square with its own Byzantine chapel. It gives the stay a natural rhythm, breakfast at Amphora, time by the pool or beach, lunch at Pelagos, then back through the gardens before dinner or drinks at sunset. Because the resort steps gently towards the sea, you never feel far from the water, but there is still enough space to find quieter corners away from the main pool and beach. That mix of scale and calm is what gives Anassa its weight, especially for longer stays where you want more than just a room and a sunbed. para-2 Rooms and suites range from Garden View Rooms through to Studio Suites, Junior Suites and larger residences, with many categories opening onto terraces or gardens rather than feeling boxed into a hotel block. Sea view options such as the Studio Suite with Sea View and Junior Suite with Sea View make the most of the setting, while pool categories add a more private way to stay. The strongest choices are the suites and residences, including the Adonis Aphrodite Suite with Outdoor Whirlpool, One Bedroom Suite with Pool, Alexandros Residence with Pool and Aether Residence, which give the resort a more spacious, villa like feel without losing access to the main facilities. para-3 There are four restaurants and several bars, with each venue having a clear purpose. Amphora is the main restaurant for breakfast and relaxed all day dining, Pelagos sits closer to the sea with Mediterranean dishes and seafood, Basiliko brings a more intimate Asian inspired setting, and Helios is the more polished fine dining option. The bars shift the mood through the day, from relaxed drinks near the pool to the candlelit Armonia terrace in the evening, where the sunset over the Akamas coastline becomes part of the experience without needing anything overdone. para-4 The beach is central to the stay, with direct access to a sandy bay and water sports available through the resort, including sailing and diving. The outdoor pool areas give an easy alternative, while the indoor pool keeps the spa side useful beyond the hottest part of the day. This is not a hotel where you run out of things quickly. Tennis, squash, cycling, hiking, boat trips, sailing lessons and the Explorers children’s club all add depth, while the setting near Akamas makes it easy to build days around the coast rather than staying only by the pool. para-5 Thalassa Spa is one of Anassa’s strongest features, with thalassotherapy, hammam, sauna, steam room, indoor pool, treatment rooms and a full fitness centre. It has enough substance to shape part of the stay, especially if you want spa time alongside beach and boat days rather than as a small add on. para-6 Anassa is around five minutes by car from Latchi, close to the Akamas Peninsula and approximately 45 km from Paphos Airport, giving it a quieter coastal position that works best for beach time, sailing, spa days and exploring the northwest of Cyprus.
From £395 per night
Minthis Resort sits in the hills above Paphos within a working golf estate, offering a low density countryside stay built around space, landscape and a slower, more residential feel. The resort is spread across a wide hillside rather than concentrated in one central block, with suites and villas positioned apart from each other to give a stronger sense of privacy. The main clubhouse acts as the anchor point, where dining, spa and shared facilities are based, while accommodation sits further out across the estate. Moving around the resort is part of the stay here, with distances between spaces and open views across the valley shaping the overall experience. It feels deliberately removed from the coastline, trading beach access for quiet, elevation and a more rural setting. para-2 Accommodation is suite led, starting with Executive Suites that are generous in size and designed more like small apartments than hotel rooms. Living space is a key part of the layout, with separate seating areas and outdoor terraces opening out to the surrounding landscape. Higher categories such as the Luxe Suite and Ridge Villa with Plunge Pool bring in more space and privacy, with the villas in particular offering a more independent setup suited to longer stays. Across all categories, the focus is on space and self contained comfort rather than decorative detail. para-3 There are two main dining options, the Minthis Clubhouse Restaurant and Amaracus, both centred around Mediterranean cooking with a focus on seasonal and regional ingredients. The setting is part of the appeal, with dining positioned to take in the surrounding countryside rather than being enclosed. A bar sits within the clubhouse, keeping evenings focused in one area rather than spread across multiple venues, which fits the quieter pace of the resort. para-4 The outdoor pool is set close to the main clubhouse, with views across the valley, while an indoor pool adds a year round option. The golf course runs through the estate and is a central part of the overall setup, alongside tennis courts and access to cycling and hiking routes in the surrounding area. This is not a resort built around beach days or high energy activity, but one where the setting and slower pace define how you spend your time. para-5 The wellness centre includes treatment rooms, sauna, steam facilities and a gym, with a focus on longer, more restorative use rather than quick drop in sessions. para-6 The resort is located inland, around 13 kilometres from Paphos centre and approximately 19 kilometres from Paphos International Airport, making a car essential for getting around.

Cavo Zoe Seaside Hotel in Protaras is a smaller coastal stay near Konnos Bay, built around a tiered infinity pool and set slightly away from the busiest part of the resort. The hotel is organised around its pool terrace, which drops in levels towards the sea and acts as the centre of the stay from morning through to evening. Everything connects back to this space, so the day naturally revolves around moving between your sunbed, the water and nearby shaded areas without needing to cross a large resort or plan around distance. The scale stays consistent throughout, with rooms and shared areas all feeding into this same core space rather than spreading out across separate zones. That keeps the stay simple and easy to read from the moment you arrive, and suits shorter breaks or relaxed coastal stays where you want things to work without overthinking them. para-2 Rooms are modern and well sized, with private balconies that open either towards the sea or back across the grounds. The key difference comes from the outlook, so sea view and side sea view categories are worth choosing, particularly the Superior Room with Panoramic Sea View where the position makes a noticeable impact on the stay. The Wellness Panoramic Room with Side Sea View sits in a quieter part of the hotel and gives you a more private feel, while across the rest of the categories the layout stays consistent and easy to use, with enough space to settle in properly rather than feeling like a stopover room. para-3 There are two main dining options. Dolce Main Restaurant handles breakfast and evening dining with a mix of Cypriot and international dishes, while Salty Pool Bar and Restaurant covers daytime with lighter plates and drinks served close to the pool. The setup fits the scale of the hotel, giving you enough on site for full days without needing to leave, while still encouraging you to explore the wider Protaras area for more variety in the evenings if you want it. para-4 The three level infinity pool is the defining feature, giving the hotel a strong centre and enough space to spend a full day without feeling repetitive. Each level offers a slightly different feel, from more social areas to quieter edges, so you can adjust the pace of the day without moving far. There is no direct sandy beach attached to the hotel, but the coastline is right in front and Konnos Beach is close enough to make beach time an easy part of the day. Fig Tree Bay and central Protaras are also within easy reach, so you can balance quieter time at the hotel with busier beach and town options when you feel like it. para-5 The spa includes treatment rooms, sauna, steam room, hammam and hot tub, supported by a fitness centre and yoga sessions. It adds a useful second layer to the stay without taking over, giving you an alternative to the pool rather than a full spa focused experience. para-6 The hotel is located in Protaras, around 400 metres from Konnos Beach and a short drive from Fig Tree Bay, placing you close to some of the best coastline in the area while staying just outside the busiest parts of the resort.
From £85 per night
The King Jason Paphos, a five-star adults-only hotel in Paphos, Cyprus, is a quietly confident all-inclusive stay built around exceptional food, generous space and a genuinely relaxed atmosphere. From the moment you arrive, the tone is clear. This is not a loud, overworked resort trying to impress at every turn, but a hotel that gets its strength from consistency. Service is natural, the setting feels settled, and everything is geared towards an easy, uninterrupted stay where you can switch off without effort. It is calm without being flat, and refined without ever feeling forced. para-2 The accommodation leans heavily into space, with studios, suites and apartments giving you room to live rather than just sleep. Even the standard options feel properly sized, with seating areas and balconies that extend the space in a meaningful way. Suites build on that with clearer separation between living and sleeping areas, making them a strong option for longer stays or anyone wanting a bit more breathing room. The addition of kitchen facilities in many categories adds another layer of flexibility, but the overall feel remains clean, modern and easy to settle into, with a finish that holds its own across the board. para-3 Food is where this hotel really earns its place. One main restaurant and one additional restaurant keep the offering focused, but the standard is consistently high. Piatakia Restaurant runs the core dining, with buffets that are built around quality ingredients and proper cooking rather than repetition. Live stations keep things fresh, and the variety carries through the day without dropping off. Pisco Peruvian Fusion Restaurant adds a completely different angle, bringing sharper flavours and a more considered à la carte experience during the season. It gives the stay a lift just when you want a change of pace. Alongside this, the main bar and pool bar keep the atmosphere moving from late afternoon into evening with a strong drinks selection and a relaxed, unforced feel. para-4 The pool scene is one of the strongest parts of the stay. With five pools to choose from, you are never tied to one setting. Some are quieter, more private spaces, while others carry a bit more energy, but none of it feels busy or overdone. This is the kind of place where a full day by the pool feels completely justified. You can settle in, move when you feel like it, and never feel like you are missing out or need to be somewhere else. It all works at your pace, which is exactly what makes it land so well. para-5 The Sana Health Club adds a quieter layer to the stay, with a well-equipped gym, sauna and steam bath, alongside a treatment room for massages. It is not oversized, but it is well executed and fits the tone of the hotel, giving you a space to reset without turning the stay into something overly structured. para-6 The hotel sits in a quieter part of Paphos, around a 15 minute walk from the harbour and roughly 2 kilometres from the Medieval Castle, with Paphos International Airport around 7 kilometres away. It gives you enough distance to properly switch off, while keeping everything within easy reach when you want it.
From £110 per night
Four Seasons Hotel in Limassol is a beachfront stay on the eastern edge of the city, known for its polished service, strong dining scene and a layout that feels structured and easy to settle into from the start. The hotel is arranged in a straightforward way, with the main building facing the sea and outdoor areas stepping down towards the beach. The pool zone sits at the centre, framed by terraces and gardens rather than spread out, so everything stays within easy reach without feeling cramped. There is a clear separation between the main leisure spaces, dining areas and quieter corners, which makes it easy to move between them without everything blending into one. It works well because you are not constantly retracing the same ground or stuck in one part of the hotel. para-2 Rooms start from Superior categories, which are well sized with private balconies and either inland or sea views, and are finished to a consistently high standard. Sea view rooms are the better option here, as they connect directly with the front facing position of the hotel rather than looking back over the road side. The Garden Studios offer a more private feel at ground level with direct access to the gardens, while the Signature Suites and Penthouse Suite introduce more space and separation if you want something that feels more self contained. Across the board, the rooms are easy to live in for longer stays rather than just functioning as somewhere to sleep. para-3 There are four main restaurants along with additional casual options, giving the hotel a stronger dining setup than most in this part of Limassol. Sera by Ettore Botrini focuses on Italian cuisine, Seasons Oriental covers Far Eastern dishes, and M Fusion brings in Japanese options with a more contemporary feel. Tropical Restaurant runs as the main all day space, handling breakfast, lunch and dinner, while Colors Café adds a more casual stop for coffee and lighter options. Bars are spread across the pool, beach and main terrace, so evenings are not tied to one single space. para-4 The main outdoor pool is split into separate sections rather than one open space, which helps it feel more manageable during busier periods. There is also an indoor heated pool, and the beach sits directly in front of the hotel, set up for both swimming and watersports. The layout means you can move easily between pool, beach and terraces without overthinking it, and the overall pace stays relaxed without feeling flat. Tennis, padel and a full gym are all in place if you want something more active during the day. para-5 The Four Seasons Spa is one of the more complete setups locally, with treatment rooms, sauna, steam rooms, an ice room and a dedicated relaxation area, alongside the indoor pool and gym. It works as a proper indoor alternative rather than just an extra facility. para-6 The hotel sits on the eastern side of Limassol, around 15 minutes by car from the city centre and marina, with both Paphos and Larnaca airports approximately one hour away.
From £200 per night
Constantinou Bros Athena Royal Beach in Kato Paphos is a calm beachfront hotel focused on space, easy days by the sea and a more relaxed pace than the larger resorts nearby. The layout keeps everything close to the water, with pools, terraces and gardens arranged so you stay connected to the coastline throughout the day rather than moving between separate areas. It feels settled and grown up, with enough space to spread out without the scale becoming overwhelming. Different parts of the hotel naturally suit different moods, from quieter pool corners to more social terrace areas, which gives you flexibility without needing to plan the day around it. para-2 Rooms start with Classic and Superior categories, all with large balconies and either land, limited sea or full sea views. The sea view rooms are the ones that make the stay feel more complete, particularly if you spend time on the balcony rather than treating the room as somewhere to sleep. Superior Deluxe Rooms bring a more polished feel with better proportions, while Junior Suites and the Executive One Bedroom Suite Sea View introduce separate living space and a more comfortable setup for longer stays. para-3 There are five restaurants across the hotel, giving a clear structure across the week. Pygmalion Restaurant focuses on themed buffet dinners with live cooking, Oasis Restaurant handles breakfast and lighter daytime meals, while Aphrodite Restaurant offers a quieter à la carte option. Olive Tree Restaurant brings Mediterranean dishes into the mix, and Evelina Restaurant provides an additional breakfast setting. Dionysos Cocktail Bar is the main evening bar, while St Andrew’s Rooftop Bar offers drinks with open views across the coastline. para-4 The three freshwater pools are spaced well enough to avoid everything feeling centred around one area, each with its own Jacuzzi and surrounding terrace space. The beach sits directly in front, so moving between pool and sea is simple and part of the same day rather than a separate plan. Tennis courts, indoor and outdoor bowls and nearby golf courses add activity without dominating the stay, so you can keep things simple or fill the day depending on how you want to use the hotel. para-5 The Elixir Spa includes a heated indoor pool, two saunas, a steam bath, treatment rooms and a gym. It works as a proper indoor option, especially outside peak summer when the indoor facilities become more relevant. para-6 The hotel is set on the Kato Paphos waterfront, around 4 km from the town centre and close to archaeological sites, shops and restaurants, with Paphos Airport approximately 15 km away.
From £95 per night
Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites in Kato Paphos is an all suite beachfront hotel focused on space, privacy and direct access to a quieter stretch of coast just outside the main harbour area. The layout is simple and works in your favour, with the hotel running parallel to the shoreline so most of the key spaces stay close to the sea. The two outdoor pools sit at the centre, linked and open, with direct lines through to the beach so the day moves easily between pool, sand and back again without any break in rhythm. Everything is within a short walk, so you are not dealing with distance or separate zones. That keeps the pace of the stay relaxed, whether you are settling in by the pool for the day or moving between the beach and the main terrace without needing to think about it. para-2 Suites are the focus here, all with separate living space and large balconies, which gives the stay a more residential feel compared to a standard room setup. Sea view suites are the clear choice, while the Executive One Bedroom Suites with Private Pool add a more self contained option with outdoor space that you can actually use rather than just look at. The layout is consistent across categories, so the difference comes from position and outdoor space rather than completely different room styles, and that works well for longer stays where having space to sit, move around and unwind properly matters. para-3 There are several dining options, with Estia Restaurant handling breakfast and main service through a mix of Cypriot and international dishes, while Kymata Restaurant focuses more on seafood and evening dining. The Pool Restaurant covers daytime with lighter meals, giving you a full day setup without needing to leave the hotel. The number of venues suits the scale of the property, giving enough variety across a week without feeling repetitive, while still keeping everything close to the main pool and terrace areas. para-4 The stay revolves around the two interconnected outdoor pools and the beachfront, with enough space across both to spend full days without needing to move on. The beach is sandy and directly accessible, which adds real value compared to hotels where beach access is separate or limited. Tennis, bowling at nearby sister properties and a small range of activities add options, but the focus here is on slower days by the water rather than a packed activity schedule. para-5 The Elixir Spa includes treatment rooms, sauna, steam bath and a gym, supported by an indoor heated pool. It is well equipped without dominating the stay, giving you a solid indoor option when you want a break from the sun rather than acting as the main reason to choose the hotel. para-6 The hotel sits around 3 km from Paphos harbour and about 500 metres from local shops and restaurants, so you are close enough to reach the main areas easily while staying in a quieter part of the coastline. Paphos International Airport is around a 20 minute drive.
From £270 per night
M Boutique Hotel in Paphos is a small scale city stay positioned close to the harbour and historic centre, focused on a more intimate, design conscious experience away from the larger coastal resorts. The hotel is compact in layout, built around a central pool and terrace area that acts as the main social space, with rooms arranged across a single, contained structure rather than spread out. Everything is within a few steps, which gives it a more personal rhythm compared to the larger beachfront hotels nearby. There is no separation into zones or multiple areas here, so the stay feels simple and direct, with the pool, restaurant and lounge all connected. It suits shorter stays or city breaks where you want a base that feels considered rather than expansive. para-2 Rooms are cleanly styled with a modern finish, keeping the focus on comfort and usability rather than over design. Standard rooms such as the Magnolia Superior Room are straightforward but well put together, with some offering balconies to open things up slightly. Suites step things up properly, particularly the Moonflower Executive Suite with Private Plunge Pool, which adds outdoor space and a more private feel. The Mimosa Junior Suite also gives you a bit more room to settle in, making these the better choice if you are staying more than a couple of nights. para-3 There is one main restaurant, Geppetto, which handles both breakfast and evening dining, focusing on Italian inspired dishes alongside a smaller selection of international options. The setup is simple rather than varied, but it fits the size and style of the hotel. The bar sits alongside the main space, so drinks and dining stay connected rather than split across different areas, keeping the atmosphere consistent throughout the evening. para-4 The outdoor pool sits at the centre of the hotel and acts as the main place to spend time during the day, with loungers arranged around a compact terrace. It is not designed for full resort days, but works well for cooling off and relaxing between time out in Paphos. A small gym and sauna are also in place, giving you basic wellness options without trying to turn it into a full spa hotel. para-5 Wellness is limited to a sauna, treatment options and a compact fitness space, which suits the scale of the hotel rather than competing with larger resort spas. para-6 The hotel is set in central Paphos, within walking distance of the harbour, Paphos Castle and local restaurants, and around 7 kilometres from Paphos International Airport.
