⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

What does a "private beach" mean at Cyprus hotels?

A private beach means the hotel grounds open directly onto the shore and you reach the water without crossing a road or someone else's property. At some hotels this is a sandy strip, while at Columbia Beach Resort the shore is surrounded by rocks. Loungers and umbrellas are usually included in the rate, but check the list of paid services when booking.

When is the best time to go to Cyprus for a beach vacation?

The beach season in Cyprus runs from May to October, with the warmest period in July and August. Cyprus has more than fifty Blue Flag beaches (according to the tourism office portal, 2025 season), so you'll find a clean shore even at the height of the season. For a quieter stay, go in late September and October.

What's included in all-inclusive in Cyprus?

All-inclusive includes meals, drinks, and some on-site entertainment. At King Evelthon Beach Hotel & Resort that means a water park and sports facilities, while at Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos it's themed pools and restaurants. The exact list depends on the hotel, so check the rate description before paying.

Where are the best beaches in Cyprus for families with kids?

Families usually prefer the calm bays of Ayia Napa and Paphos. Nissi Beach at Adams Beach and Adams Beach Hotel Deluxe Wing offers soft sand and a gentle entry. Dome Beach Hotel & Resort has a shallow kids' water zone nearby, and Alexander The Great Beach Hotel sits on a Blue Flag beach.

Do I need a car if the hotel is on the first line?

If your entire vacation takes place within the hotel, a car isn't necessary: the beach, restaurants, and pools are all nearby. You need one when you want to visit cities and attractions. GrandResort is located away from central Limassol, and Columbia Beach Resort is in Pissouri Bay, where getting around without transport is harder.

In short: what's worth booking

If you need a water park and a kids' club, go with King Evelthon Beach Hotel & Resort. For quiet by the sea, Alion Beach Hotel and Columbia Beach Resort in Pissouri Bay are good options. Couples going for the spa choose Four Seasons Hotel and Elysium.

For families with a large water complex, keep Adams Beach and Dome Beach Hotel & Resort in mind. If you want an all-inclusive concept with banquet halls, St Raphael Resort fits the bill.
