The best hotels in Cyprus

Cyprus has long been a honeypot for holidaymakers, lured by the irresistible promise of sea, sand and sunshine all year-round. Closer to the Middle East than it is to Europe, it famously basks in 30°C days from June to October, making it a popular spot for winter-sun escapes. So with sun worshippers in mind, the best hotels in Cyprus tend to offer that flop-and-drop stay that can be hard to resist. Many of the smartest options line the coast in Paphos and Limassol – each city has its own convenient airport nearby. And while the opportunity to explore the island is there – the Troodos mountains are often referred to ‘the Switzerland of Cyprus’ – it’s just as easy to stay put and order a cocktail from your lounger. This ease makes Cyprus a particularly appealing place for family holidays and honeymoons, and hotels often cater to one or the other, or both.
How we choose the best hotels in Cyprus
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.
