A Love of Exploration from a Luxury Limassol Resort

We check out Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, where beachside glamour meets Cypriot heritage on the sun-drenched coast of Limassol.

For food
Dining at Parklane has evolved into a destination experience in its own right. Expect everything from the buzzy beachside vibe of Nammos Limassol to the elegant French Riviera flavours of La Petite Maison, alongside relaxed all-day dining and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. Whether you’re in the mood for a long lunch by the sea or something more refined in the evening, there’s something to suit every appetite.

For wellbeing
At the heart of the resort is the award-winning Kalloni Spa, a vast 3,000-square-metre wellness sanctuary inspired by the healing properties of the sea. Home to Cyprus’s only Thalassotherapy centre, it features multiple indoor and outdoor pools, extensive treatment rooms and signature experiences including the Russian Banya. With plenty of quiet corners to unwind, it’s easy to spend an entire day here switching off completely.

For the family
Families are brilliantly catered for at the Explorers Kids Club, a standout feature of the resort. With its castle-themed play areas, pirate ship splash zones and activity-packed programmes, children aged from just a few months up to early teens are kept happily entertained. There’s also a crèche for younger guests, sports facilities for older kids and flexible dining options nearby for easy family days.

For grown-ups
Those seeking a quieter escape can retreat to the resort’s adults-only areas, including dedicated swimming pools and a collection of stylish lifestyle suites. Evenings can be as relaxed or lively as you like, from sunset cocktails by the beach to laid-back drinks across the resort’s bars and lounges.

For being active

If downtime isn’t your style, there’s plenty to keep you moving, from a fully equipped fitness centre and group classes to tennis and watersports along the coast. PADI-certified diving is also available for those keen to explore beneath the surface, while Limassol itself offers plenty of opportunities for exploring further afield.

For history
The resort’s design draws inspiration from Cyprus’s rich heritage, from traditional “lefkaritiko” lace motifs to references to one of the world’s oldest known perfume factories nearby. It’s a subtle but thoughtful nod to the island’s past, woven into a thoroughly modern luxury setting.

Sightseeing around Limassol

Walk with Richard the Lionheart

Limassol’s old town is a maze of cobbled streets centred around its medieval castle, where Richard the Lionheart is said to have married Berengaria of Navarre in 1191. Today, the castle houses a fascinating museum filled with artefacts spanning centuries of Cypriot history.

Love Child of Aphrodite

A short drive along the coast brings you to Petra tou Romiou, the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite. Dramatic rock formations rise from clear blue water, making it one of the island’s most iconic and photogenic spots.

A Feast of Festivals

Limassol’s lively calendar includes everything from its famous carnival in February to seasonal celebrations of wine, flowers and local culture throughout the year – always with food, music and a welcoming atmosphere at their heart.

Archaeological Adventure

History lovers are perfectly placed to explore the ancient sites of Kourion and Amathus, where amphitheatres, temples and ruins overlook the sea. Kourion in particular is known for its beautifully preserved Greco-Roman theatre, still used for performances today.
