Almyra

Almyra Paphos, Cyprus Childcare meets designer chic at this trendy five-star seafront hotel. Almyra, part of the Thanos Hotels group and a member of Design Hotels, is sister hotel to the nearby Annabelle and Anassa in Latchi. It has the feel of a contemporary seaside resort and families play a key part at Almyra (although it is also perfect for hip couples).

The interior is cool and fresh but the staff are warm and friendly and the overall effect is very soothing. Rooms, which are minimalist and simple in décor, are refreshingly bright and airy with floor to ceiling windows. The garden and pool areas give a real feeling of privacy and relaxed style. The beautiful al fresco signature restaurant Notios really comes into its own at night with sensual lighting and the sounds of the sea in the background. The Almyraspa includes the poolside Eauzone Restaurant both of which are for adults-only (16yrs+). It has a range of treatment rooms, two spa suites with water therapy and an outside deck for yoga. In addition, there is an indoor and an outdoor pool (both adult only), a state-of-the-art gym and a tennis court.

The children’s facilities are simply superb. Special features include a crèche and Kids’ Club (split into four age groups) and the inspired “Baby Go Lightly” programme, whereby everything a travelling baby might need can be pre-booked from sterilisers to pushchairs. If you like to venture out in the evenings, the restaurants, bars and shops of modern Paphos are a short stroll away. Almyra is the winner of the Best Family Hotel (Europe) in the Junior Design Awards 2015 and a Condé Nast Traveller Gold List Award.
