Hotel Limassol Amathus Beach

A beachfront hotel with an exclusive edge, the Amathus Beach Hotel was made for chic retreats. This recently renovated hotel has a contemporary swagger that hits you the moment you step into the lobby. Black marble floors are dotted with white leather sofas, while gleaming glass panels and high ceilings create a spacious feel. And its setting is just as impressive, too. This place is surrounded by acres of manicured gardens and sits just footsteps away from Amathus Beach. You’re not far from the heart of Limassol either - hop in a car and you can be there in ten minutes.

When only hiding away will do, though, make the most of the grounds. Palm-fringed walkways lead to immaculate lawns scattered with parasols and loungers. The swimming pool is the ultimate relaxation spot, though. It’s a classic rectangular number framed by a roomy sun terrace. Come evening time, it’s a great place to watch the sunset. There’s a separate children’s pool out here, too.

Alternatively, you can get an R&R fix at the wellness centre. A Zen-like oasis, it’s got a sauna, a steam room, and a whirlpool bath. There’s also a range of treatments on offer, from the innovative to the classic. And for the activity-seekers, there’s a newly built gym, pilates studio and yoga studio, plus two floodlit tennis courts if you fancy a game.

Accommodation-wise, the rooms are stylish and comfortable. Think big beds dressed in crisp white cotton, sink-into-me sofas and dressing tables with over-sized mirrors. All the rooms come with flatscreen TVs, WiFi and Playstations, while marble bathrooms add a luxurious touch. And if you want to go one further on the VIP front, you can always book a suite that edges the pool.

On the food front, the 5-star theme continues. There are enough restaurants here to eat at a different one each night of the week. From just-caught seafood to Oriental cuisine and huge buffets with a Mediterranean flavour, there’s plenty of choice. Plus kids menus come as standard. And where you dine is up to you. Eat al fresco on the shore, order cocktails on the terrace, or dress for dinner and take your seats in The Cyan, overlooking the marina.
