With its sun-drenched beaches, ancient history, and a unique blend of cosmopolitan flair and laid-back charm, a Cyprus holiday is the perfect balance of effortless luxury and local character. This island is where ancient ruins meet sleek, modern resorts, where you can stroll through charming villages one moment and sip cocktails overlooking the Mediterranean the next.
Limassol hums with vibrant energy, offering a chic mix of upscale resorts, designer shopping, and lively nightlife. Just down the coast, Paphos offers a quieter, more intimate feel, perfect for those who want to blend a bit of history with their downtime. Beyond the cities, Cyprus is full of hidden beaches and serene villages, where the pace slows, and you can truly unwind in style.
The island’s rich history is everywhere — from ancient Greek ruins to Byzantine churches — but it never feels like a history lesson. Whether you’re discovering centuries-old tombs or enjoying a fresh mezze by the sea, a Cyprus holiday blends the past and present with effortless grace.
The roads can get quite quiet in the early morning and late afternoon, making it the best time to explore, especially if you’re heading inland to the mountain villages. Also, be mindful that many small shops and restaurants in rural areas close for a few hours in the afternoon, so plan your visits accordingly to make the most of your day.
If you’re looking for a true Cypriot escape with a touch of luxury, Parklane Cyprus, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, is your spot. Sitting pretty on the Mediterranean coast in Limassol, this resort has recently undergone a major refresh, making it one of the most exciting places to stay in Cyprus right now.
Amara Cyprus doesn’t just do luxury—it redefines it. A dazzling coastal escape, this award-winning gem effortlessly blends sleek, modern design with the natural beauty of Limassol’s shores. But if you think you’re here just for the views (which are, let’s face it, incredible), think again. The real star of this show is the culinary scene, which effortlessly takes the island’s food culture to new heights.
Tucked along Paphos’ glittering coastline, Annabelle is the definition of Mediterranean glamour with a modern twist. Part of the prestigious Thanos Group and just next door to Almyra, this place has perfected the art of elegance without even trying. It’s got all the hallmarks of a high-end retreat—sleek design, luxury service, and panoramic views of the sparkling sea—but there’s an effortless charm that keeps it cool and down-to-earth. Whether you’re looking for a chic hideaway with your significant other or a family-friendly haven that doesn’t skimp on luxury, Annabelle offers the best of both worlds.
