Where to stay in Cyprus

Before we dive in, a quick but necessary political lesson. Did you know? Cyprus is a divided island with a divided capital city – Nicosia. A United Nations buffer zone (the Green Line) separates the two sides of Cyprus where the north is home to Turkish Cypriots and the south to Greek Cypriots. Their relationship status? “It’s complicated”.

The south is more geared towards tourists with good infrastructure and accommodation near attractions. The north has a less developed tourism infrastructure but offers a truly authentic experience.

    For a luxury family-friendly stay, the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort is ideal, set on the golden sand of Coral Beach near Paphos. A kids' club, crèche, playground, and waterslides will keep your children occupied while you relax at the spa or indulge your creative side with an arts and crafts class.A retreat more your style? The Troodos mountains form a region that covers about half of Cyprus, where old monasteries and stone houses have been beautifully restored and transformed into guesthouses, boutique hotels and serene spa retreats. Traditional houses in the village of Kalopanayiotis are part of Casale Panayiotis, a luxury spa retreat that takes advantage of the mountain views and peaceful village life.In the Lofou village of Limassol, you can stay in a stone building dating back to 1794. With arches, chandeliers and fireplaces, the self-catering units at Agrovino Lofou are perfect for a romantic holiday.

Frequently asked questions

How many days do you need in Cyprus?

This is one of those how long is a piece of string kind of questions as you won’t run out of things to do in Cyprus. Can you ever really get tired of laying by the beach swimming your worries away? That said, a week would be ideal to see, do and eat your way around the island.


Which part of Cyprus has the best beaches?

This feels like a trick question as there are no bad beaches in Cyprus. As a guide, Limasso is great for families while Lara Beach tends to be a little less crowded than some of Cyprus' main beaches. Nissi Beach is a wonderful all-rounder.


When is the best time to visit Cyprus?

July and August in Cyprus is the high season so expect high rates, high temps and busy beaches. The shoulder seasons, from April to June and September to November are ideal for those who prefer things a little less chaotic.


What is there to do in Cyprus?

The beauty of Cyprus is that it can be as busy or as laid-back as you choose. You can strap on your hiking boots and hit the mountains and explore the ancient sites, or you can spend days (weeks) moseying from bar to beach, devouring your body weight in seafood and partying until the wee hours.

What is the best area to stay in Cyprus?

Cyprus is a country split in two, North Cyprus and the Republic of Cyprus (southern Cyprus). North is Turkish while the south is Greek although both sides are welcoming to all travellers. You will find beautiful beaches and delicious food all around the island, but as a general guide, head to the capital city of Nicosia for Cypriot culture, Paphos for sandy beaches and the mountain village of Troodos for a nature getaway.


What to take on holiday to Cyprus?

Swimmers, a hat, lightweight everyday clothes and, perhaps most importantly, comfortable shoes.


Where to go on holiday in Cyprus?

Paphos is said to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, and is where you will find Tombs of the Kings Archaeological Park. For nightlife, a vibrant dining scene and the famous Nissi Beach, Ayia Napa is your place, while its neighbour, Protaras, is a purpose-built resort that is a little more laid back. For something a little more active, explore the Troodos Mountains or visit the ancient city of Salamis.
