The hotel is styled after a Byzantine village, a loose collection of gleaming white villas with terra cotta roofs clinging to the cliffside, with a view over the ocean.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The wild trails and sea caves of the protected Akamas Peninsula begin just outside, overlooking the turquoise waters of Chrysochou Bay.
The rooms
Selected junior suites and residences feature heated private plunge pools on wide terraces looking out over the bay.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Three multi-tiered freshwater pools step down the hillside, complete with a stone water cascade and a swim-up bar.
The spa
Classical pillars surround an indoor Roman pool, alongside seawater thalassotherapy jet pools and quiet curtained daybeds.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Helios
French-Mediterranean fine dining is served beneath vaulted white arches indoors or under candlelit olive trees on the terrace.
Restaurant
Pelagos
This open-air taverna sits beneath a shaded pergola, serving freshly caught local fish, mezze, and wood-fired focaccia.
At the table
Morning breakfasts and evening grills overlook the sea, accompanied by cheeses and pastries made fresh on the property.
How it began
Conceived as a traditional Cypriot hamlet, the resort is anchored by its own village square and stone chapel with a bell tower.
