Cyprus: which destination suits you?
Not every place suits every trip. Here is how the destinations differ, with the hotels we list in each and the guides that narrow the choice further.
Cities2
Larnaca
4 hotelsThe airport city with a palm-lined seafront and the island's easiest arrival. Practical for a short break; the luxury choice is small and the beaches are better elsewhere.
Coast3
Paphos
10 hotelsThe island's most complete luxury address: big beach resorts, two adults-only hotels, archaeology and a long season. Suits couples and families alike; the sea is rockier than in the east.
Guides
Ayia Napa
8 hotelsThe island's finest sand and clearest water, with new five-star resorts pushing the old party town upmarket. Families and couples do well here; nightlife still exists if you want it.
Protaras
7 hotelsAyia Napa's quieter neighbour: Fig Tree Bay, calm shallow water and family-run resorts. The right pick with small children; adults looking for style should look at Paphos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Both Paphos and Limassol lead with 9 hotels each. Paphos offers cultural appeal at Elysium, which is adjacent to the Tombs of the Kings. Limassol features options like Amara - Sea Your Only View™, offering culinary venues led by Michelin-starred chefs. For other choices, Ayia Napa contains 8 hotels, Protaras has 7, and Larnaca has 4.
Choose Elysium if you want Byzantine-inspired architecture, family rooms, and adjacency to the Tombs of the Kings, though its beach area is small and rocky. Select Amavi, MadeForTwo Hotels - Paphos for a tailored couples-only quiet environment with unobstructed sea views from all rooms, though occupancy is strictly limited to adult couples.
In Limassol, Atlantica Bay - Adults Only provides a tranquil adults-only environment. This 4-star property features a rooftop pool with sea views, 2 swimming pools, and 3 restaurants. A notable drawback is the distance from central Limassol and the road crossing required for beach access, but it remains a peaceful retreat.
NissiBlu Beach Resort is a 5-star property in Ayia Napa with a 4.7 Google rating from 2013 reviews. Guests enjoy immediate access to Nissi Beach and versatile year-round swimming facilities. However, expect crowded surroundings during peak summer and a minimalist interior design aesthetic, which some travellers may dislike.
The 5-star Four Seasons Hotel Limassol stands out for its private sandy beach access, extensive tropical garden grounds, and independently managed hospitality. It holds a 9.6 booking score from 2086 reviews. Drawbacks include high occupancy during peak months and being positioned outside the city centre, requiring travel to reach central sights.
