Columbia Beach Resort 5*
At a glance
Restaurant
There are two restaurants, the more casual Apollo Restaurant, and the gourmet option – Dionysos – both of which some highly recommended.
Scenic Location
Even from the pool views extend across Pissouri Bay and take in the blue waters and lush vegetation of one of the Mediterranean’s largest islands.
Beach
The hotel’s beach is complete with sun loungers, umbrellas and a bar, while the sea hovers between a comfortable fifteen and positively bath-like twenty-eight degrees Celsius in the summer.
Child Friendly
With plenty to entertain the resort caters to families, but the spa area is not open to anyone under the age of eighteen.
Local Attractions
There is a free shuttle, but it is worth hiring a car to explore the wineries, olive oil factories, local villages, and art galleries that illustrate the island’s heritage. Aphrodite’s Rock – birthplace of the Greek goddess of beauty is also a major cultural highlight.

Spa & Leisure
Set high on a hillside with post-card perfect panoramas it is no real surprise that this Mediterranean Island is known for its natural beauty, while the spa is a shining beacon in the resort’s proverbial crown. Enormous glass windows open up in the summer extending the indoor pool towards the one outside while taking in that all-important sea view. Facilities include five treatment rooms, a Jacuzzi, plunge pool, lounge area, sauna, steam room and gym while the extensive treatments list includes signature treatments such as aromatherapy and massage, and the detoxing wraps are definitely worth trying.
Hotel & Accommodation
Being part of the Columbia group, the resort benefits from access to facilities at its surrounding venues (such as Londa and Columbia Beach Hotel next door), but the hotel itself boasts a surprisingly intimate atmosphere, compared to its larger counterparts. Ninety-four suites are laid out in the nucleus pattern of a Cypriot village and there are two restaurants – the casual mezze Apollo Restaurant and their gourmet dining option Dionysos, both of which are highly acclaimed.
