About the Resort
An all-suite Cypriot-village resort in secluded Pissouri Bay
Columbia Beach Resort is the all-suite Cypriot-village resort in secluded Pissouri Bay — a Small Luxury Hotel built as a traditional Cypriot village of sandy stone and clay-tiled roofs, with its own Byzantine-style chapel and an Apollo Tavern square where Cypriot Nights bring live musicians and folk dancers. All around 169 accommodations are suites, in beamed ceilings, stone floors and woven rugs, a two-hundred-and-sixty-two-foot lagoon-style pool stretches by the sheltered Blue Flag bay, and the award-winning Hebe Spa, a creche and a kids' club serve couples and families alike. It sits midway between Limassol and Paphos, around thirty-five kilometres from each, with four golf courses nearby and turtle conservation and a Cat Care Project on the resort's own calendar. The setting is one of the quietest on the south coast: Pissouri village and its tavernas climb the hill behind, the Greco-Roman theatre of Kourion and the wine villages of the Troodos foothills are an easy drive, and the bay itself stays sheltered and calm, its clear water and dramatic white cliffs among the prettiest on the south coast. It is the all-suite, secluded-bay village pick, family-friendly and warm — distinct from the grand, remote-Akamas Anassa. A long season on Cyprus's mild coast.

Warm and characterful, the village layout gives families space and couples seclusion in equal measure above the sheltered bay, the stone walls and tiled roofs cool against the Cypriot summer.

Food & Drink
Dining
The dining runs from the Greek Cypriot Apollo Tavern, where Cypriot Nights bring musicians and folk dancers, to the gourmet seasonal Italian of Bacchus and the Asian-inspired Cape Aspro by the pool. It is relaxed, generous island cooking with a strong sense of place in the village square, the Cypriot Nights turning dinner into an evening out.

Wellbeing
The Hebe Spa & pools
The award-winning Hebe Spa brings an indoor pool, treatments and a gym, joined by two outdoor pools including a two-hundred-and-sixty-two-foot lagoon-style West pool and the secluded Blue Flag beach. Wellness here is gentle and unhurried, the long lagoon pool and the calm, sheltered bay doing much of the work between treatments at the award-winning Hebe Spa, its therapies drawing on Mediterranean ingredients.

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

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.
Cyprus
Elysium, Paphos
Elysium is the grand Byzantine-palatial hotel by the Tombs of the Kings — a palace of colonnades, mosaics and waterfalls in Paphos, beside the 3rd-century-BC UNESCO rock-hewn site, a ten-minute seafront walk from the harbour. Around 287 rooms run terracotta and ochre amid landscaped gardens, with Royal Garden Villas around a lemon-tree square. It is billed the most child-friendly hotel in Cyprus, with five pools and a waterslide, while a Byzantine chapel and amphitheatre stage weddings and an adults-only sunken, colonnaded Royal Pool keeps a grown-up corner. Five restaurants and the Opium Health Spa with ESPA round it out. The Byzantine-palatial, family-and-weddings pick of Paphos — distinct from the remote-Akamas Anassa, the harbour-design Almyra and the Pissouri-Bay Columbia. Year-round, on Cyprus's mild coast.
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.
