Anassa Hotel

Cyprus

On the north coast of Cyprus, overlooking the blue waters of the Mediterranean and a perfect sandy shore, you’ll find a luxury retreat that shows off all the best bits of the birthplace of Aphrodite – with the Aphrodite Trail and Baths only a few miles away. Take your pick of 166 rooms, suites and residences with garden or sea views and some with their own plunge pools and terraces. Since Anassa is bordered by a green carpet of vegetation supplied courtesy of the Akamas Peninsula National Park, when you want to strike out further afield, there are plenty of hiking and biking options, plus boat trips to the idyllic Blue Lagoon.

Back on site, soak up the sun on the golden beach, cool off poolside with a mezze platter and local wine tasting, or slip away to the Byzantine-style spa. Whether you dine at the candle-lit cavern or alfresco under olive trees, the four restaurants will give you variety aplenty.
