About the Resort
A design-led, every-room-sees-the-sea hotel in Limassol
Amara is the design-led, every-room-sees-the-sea hotel of Limassol — an ultra-contemporary marble landmark on the Amathus beachfront where all 207 sea-facing rooms hold a 180-degree Mediterranean view, some with cascading plunge pools onto the terrace. Its dining is a celebrity-chef line-up of Matsuhisa, the Japanese-Peruvian table from Nobu Matsuhisa in a David Rockwell room, Ristorante Locatelli from Giorgio Locatelli and Beefbar by Ricardo Giraudi, joined by a rooftop bar over the bay. The three-thousand-square-metre AMARA Spa, with nine treatment rooms and Carita, is built over the ancient city walls of Amathus, and the adults-only seawater infinity pool is the only one in Cyprus, set alongside outdoor pools, a children's pool and a private beach. The setting is the heart of the Limassol coast: the hotel stands by the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Amathus, around two kilometres from St Raphael Marina and twenty minutes from the buzz of Limassol Marina, with the Greco-Roman theatre of Kourion, the Troodos wine villages and Limassol's old town and its carob-mill quarter all within reach along the coast. It is the sleek, design-and-dining couples' side of Limassol — distinct from the big family-and-scene Parklane. Year-round, on Cyprus's mild coast.
Accommodation
Rooms & suites
All 207 ultra-contemporary marble rooms and suites are sea-facing, every one holding a 180-degree Mediterranean view across two blocks, with mood lighting and terraces and, in some, cascading plunge pools that spill onto the terrace. Cool, sleek and design-led throughout, they make Amara the most contemporary address on the Amathus beachfront, the sea filling the glass from wall to wall.

Food & Drink
Dining
Dining is a celebrity-chef line-up rare for the island: Matsuhisa brings Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian cooking in a David Rockwell room, Ristorante Locatelli plates Giorgio Locatelli's Italian, and Beefbar comes from Ricardo Giraudi, with a rooftop bar pouring cocktails over the bay. It is a genuine destination for food, the kind of line-up more often found in a capital city than a beach resort.

★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Amara, Limassol. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Cyprus
Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Limassol
Parklane is the big family-and-glamour Luxury Collection resort of Limassol — 25 acres of gardens designed by Harrods Interiors on a 300-metre Blue Flag beach. Its family headline is a huge Explorers Kids' Club with a two-level castle and a pirate-ship splash park, its dining brings the Mykonos beach-club brand Nammos and the Riviera's LPM, and its Kalloni spa is a Thalassotherapy centre with five pools. An oversized lagoon-style seawater pool, around 276 rooms and Park Villas with private pools, an adults-only Lifestyle wing and a designer retail village complete it. The big family-and-scene side of Limassol — distinct from the sleek, design-led Amara. Year-round, a large coastal resort.
Cyprus
Almyra, Paphos
Almyra is the design-led family beach hotel on Paphos Harbour — Thanos Hotels' hip younger sister to Anassa, a Member of Design Hotels in dazzling whites and sky-blue on the Paphos seafront. Its trick is making high design genuinely family-friendly: a new 33-metre infinity pool, Kyma 'Wave' suites with private al-fresco rooftop lounges over the harbour, and an adults-only Almyraspa with rooftop yoga and marine therapies, all alongside a strong kids' offering. Around 187 rooms, four pools, Nobu-alumnus dining and 'Secrets of the Vine' wine tours fill out an eight-acre seafront garden. The design-led, harbour-set young-family pick of Paphos — distinct from its grand, remote-Akamas sister Anassa. Year-round, on Cyprus's mild coast.
Cyprus
Anassa
Anassa is the Thanos-flagship Cypriot-village resort on the Akamas coast — the family-owned group's grand flagship and a Leading Hotel of the World, on a secluded hillside on the remote northwest coast at the edge of the wild Akamas National Park. Around 165 rooms are built as a traditional Cypriot village around a square with a Byzantine chapel, gardens cascading to a secluded golden beach, suites and residences with private pools. Its award-winning Thalassa Spa is a Roman-bathhouse concept with 18 treatment rooms drawing water from the bay, the dining is farm-fresh and sea-view, and sailing cruises reach the Blue Lagoon and the Baths of Aphrodite. The grand, remote-Akamas village resort — distinct from the harbour-set, design-led Almyra and the all-suite Columbia in Pissouri Bay. A long season on Cyprus's mild coast.
