Amavi Hotel

Only a scattering of gently swaying palms come between you and the turquoise-rimmed sands of a Blue Flag-awarded beach at Amavi Hotel. And thanks to an adults-only policy, a stay at this beachfront getaway is all about tranquil relaxation. From massages for two to chic cocktail bars and al fresco Mediterranean dining, this sleek big-hitter knows how to do romance – perfect for honeymooners or couples after some indulgent quality time.

As soon as you enter the glossy lobby, its marble-clad interiors illuminated by a canopy of suspended lights, you know you’re in for a slice of luxury. From here, a clutch of stylish dining spaces features interiors as show-stopping as the food: sushi platters and sizzling steaks at the rooftop Immenso; Mediterranean-infused haute cuisine beneath statement chandeliers at Nocturne; contemporary Cypriot cusine served by the sea at Fortolana; and global flavours at the wood-panelled Ezaria. A trio of bars call for lingering drinks, from the swim-up Saffire pool bar and elegant Selene cocktail bar, to the glass-walled Lounge framing stunning sea views.

These blue-on-blue-vistas take centre stage in all the rooms, whether you pick a Deluxe Room Sea View or Superior Cabana with Private Pool Sea View for your very own luxurious hideaway. Couples celebrating newly marital bliss should plump for a Honeymoon Suite Sea View for a romantic cocoon with private balcony, before hotfooting it to the soothing spa for some blissed-up relaxation – a side-by-side signature massage in the couples’ suite is a must.
