4 Best Hotels in Cyprus

It is worth the drive or taxi ride to this resort, located a bit off the beaten path between Limassol and Paphos near the village of Pissouri, if you're looking for total luxury and modern design in a secluded beach setting. The resort's expansive suites are outfitted in soothing neutral colors and feature soaring ceilings, carved-wood cabinets, and good-sized kitchens. Each room also has its own balcony—ask for one overlooking the impressive infinity pool or with a view of the small but lovely pebble beach flanked by dramatic cliffs behind the hotel. For the ultimate in relaxation, don't miss the Hébe Spa—the outdoor pool flows seamlessly into the spa's heated indoor pool.

If you are a golfer or tennis player rather than a beach goer, the family-friendly Aphrodite Hills will be your dream come true—it offers an 18-hole championship course and a tennis academy with nine professional courts. The resort also has a luxe spa with Elemis treatments, a gym, and an expansive, gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the sea, its own village square, with restaurants, shops, and bars, and a kids' club. The only thing it doesn't have is a beachfront, though the resort offers complimentary shuttles to its two nearby beach clubs. The country club feel extends to the resort's rooms, which are clean and modern with Aphrodite-inspired accents including replicas of ancient clay pots; some rooms open onto terraces with views of the golf course and the sea beyond, while selected suites have their own private plunge pools or are swim-up—great for families and couples alike.

One of the few hotels in Paphos that looks west onto the sunset, Leonardo Laura is a true family favorite. The main attraction is the Splash waterpark with multi-lane racing slides, a space bowl, white knuckle Boomerango, and a mini splash park for toddlers. However, for those who prefer to keep dry there is an on-site cinema, an escape room and five restaurants to choose from. Renovated a couple of years back, the accommodation feels fresh and modern and is kept very clean; the swim-up suites are fun for a family of four.

This family-friendly seaside resort sits on 7 acres and has lovely landscaped gardens and gorgeous Mediterranean views. The art deco style lobby leads to a large array of rooms to suit all tastes and requirements, including several for guests with disabilities, and most have a sea view. St. George offers an attractive pool area with swim-up bar, the Ocyan Spa, tennis courts, access to a golf course, and a choice of three restaurants.
