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.

Staying

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.

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.

Experience

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.

Wellness

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.

Where

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.
