Where to stay in Paphos?
Areas drawn from our hotels' addresses — updated as the selection changes.
Kato Paphos & Yeroskipou Coast
Best for First-time visitorsThis central coastal strip combines the archaeological park of Kato Paphos with the resort beaches of neighbouring Yeroskipou. It offers walking access to ancient ruins, tavernas, and seaside promenades.
Chloraka & Coral Bay
Best for Quiet coastal retreatsSituated just north of the city centre, this coastal stretch offers pocket beaches and access to the sandy bay at Coral Bay. It is well-suited to those wanting a relaxed atmosphere while remaining within a short drive of Paphos harbour.
Polis & Latchi
Best for Secluded nature escapesLocated on the northern coast near the Akamas Peninsula, this region is defined by its fishing harbour and pebble beaches. It sits roughly 40 minutes' drive from Paphos town, making it suitable for a quieter, nature-focused stay.
Areas to consider
Visitors seeking a quiet, traditional Cypriot atmosphere may wish to avoid the high-density resort strips of central Kato Paphos, which can become crowded and noisy during the summer season.
8 Recommended Hotels
Why this position: Highest guest score of the 8 hotels we rank here — 9.6 from 2,895 reviews. Leads the ranking: a higher guest score than #2 (9.6 to 9.5).
Elysium is best for heritage-loving travellers wanting five-star luxury next to historical ruins. Glowing guest ratings on Booking.com and Google underline its appeal. Standout features include direct access to a private beach cove, Byzantine-inspired architectural details, and a multi-level pool with hydrotherapy. Note that popularity causes crowded breakfast times, and the beach is relatively small and rocky.
Why this position: Among the three highest guest scores of the 8 hotels we rank here — 9.5 from 996 reviews. Sits behind #1 on both the score (9.5 to 9.6) and the sample it rests on (996 to 2,895 reviews).
Amavi, MadeForTwo Hotels - Paphos is designed exclusively for couples seeking a quiet coastal retreat. Adored by guests on Booking.com and Google, it guarantees unobstructed sea views from every room alongside direct access to a Blue Flag beach. Keep in mind that booking is strictly limited to adult couples, and a busy public coastal pathway runs close to the grounds.

Paphos, Cyprus
Adults onlyWhy this position: Among the three highest guest scores of the 8 hotels we rank here — 9.4 from 783 reviews. Sits behind #2 on both the score (9.4 to 9.5) and the sample it rests on (783 to 996 reviews).

Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos caters exceptionally well to active holidaymakers desiring varied leisure and dining options. It offers diverse swimming zones, five pools, and themed dining venues alongside direct Blue Flag beach access. On the downside, the resort experiences high guest volumes in peak seasons, and walking distances between facilities are considerable.
Why this position: Scores higher than #4 (9.2 to 9.0), on a smaller body of reviews (327 to 408).
Anassa caters perfectly to travellers seeking a secluded hillside location and immediate beach access away from standard resort bustle. Reopened in March 2026 following a €10M refurbishment, this iconic hillside property is rated outstandingly by Booking.com guests. It resembles a traditional village overlooking its own beach and provides two swimming pools and a thalasso spa. Potential guests should note its remote Akamas location, situated 40+ minutes from Paphos town, and a formal resort style that some may find traditional.
M Boutique Hotel - Designed for Adults
Paphos, Cyprus

M Boutique Hotel - Designed for Adults is best for peace-seeking holidaymakers who prefer a quiet, boutique-scale environment.

How we chose these hotels
At our latest review (August 2026) the properties listed above were measured against the same standard: sustained guest scores on both Booking.com and Google — weighted by how many reviews sit behind them — five-star class or an equivalent premium level, a genuinely first-rate location, and facilities that set the hotel apart.
As a guideline we look for around 8.5 or higher on Booking.com, but no single number decides on its own — when the sources disagree, the broader evidence wins. Guest scores on this page update continuously, and the selection is re-reviewed at regular intervals. The full standard is described in how we choose hotels.
