Luxury holidays in Cyprus

When you learn Cyprus is regarded as the birthplace of Aphrodite, the crumbling archaeological sites and silvery olive tree groves that dot this sun-drenched Mediterranean island seem all the more alluring. Spend your days kayaking in turquoise waters around craggy cliffs, scuba diving amongst shipwrecks or simply while away the hours eating locally-made halloumi and maybe downing a shot (or two) of zavinia. Explore our curated selection of luxury villas, resorts and hotels in Cyprus.

Destinations in Cyprus

  • A nature reserve harbouring sea caves, spectacular carpets of spring flowers, plunging gorges and the pools Aphrodite supposedly once bathed in, the Akamas Peninsula is an ancient beauty.
  • Pretty village Ilgaz is in the tree-covered Besparmak hills of Northern Cyprus, 10 minutes from the coast.
  • A city of excess, Limassol is not shy. A seemingly endless tourist strip runs from the city centre in frenzied neon-flashes of shops, bars and restaurants, the palm-lined avenues and festival-fever has earned the city’s moniker of ‘Little Miami’.
  • Local lace-making, skilled silversmiths, narrow cobble-lined alleys, and limestone cottages worthy of a fairytale make sea-facing village Pano Lefkara a charming Cypriot getaway spot.
  • Occupied since prehistoric times, and inhabited by the Romans, the Venetians and the cult followers of Aphrodite, the fort-guarded harbour town of Paphos (aka Pafos) has a colourful history.
