Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort, main pool

Located at the foot of the Akamas Peninsula National Park, this five star luxury property occupies a stunning natural seafront setting on Cyprus' west coast, surrounded by olive groves and fragrant gardens, overlooking Kafizis Beach and offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean. Paphos city and airport are about 40 minutes distant by car.

Guest rooms and suites, just over 200 in total, are luxurious and spacious in equal measure. Built from local stone and developed in harmony with the local environment, the accommodation is bathed in natural light which floods in from the floor to ceiling windows. The interior design is one of chic, understated elegance, with tasteful references to the local Cypriot culture. Room categories include family suites and residences with private pools.

A total of five restaurants cover Mediterranean, Japanese and Italian cuisine with with creative culinary interpretations of freshly sourced fish and seafood a particular highlight. Fine dining at Mesoyios is complemented by the services of a sommelier and views of the Akamas coastline from beneath a canopy of olive trees. The hotel's Perivoli, derived from the Greek for 'garden', overflows with sustainable local produce, evergreen vegetable crops, fragrant herbs and colourful citrus fruits. All this and more is produced in the 44,000 square-metre gardens, and harvested for the resort restaurants.

The exceptional Cleopatra Spa, with its luxury branded product lines, bespoke therapies, and therapy rooms, is enhanced by a fully equipped, state-of-the-art gym. At the heart of the resort lies the Agora Village Square: a central meeting point complete with themed restaurants, an all-day café, and high-end boutiques and an outdoor cinema.

Further extensive facilities include a 130-metre beach cove, three outdoor pools with sunbeds and quiet areas, a tranquil indoor pool, outdoor playground for younger guests and a children's club.

Horseback riding, electric and mountain bike hire, and private yacht excursions, for a different view of the Akamas peninsula, are activities which are open to guests. And skaters of all abilities will enjoy riding, sliding, and gliding on the skateboard ramp. And alongside the usual tennis and watersports are a thoughtfully curated selection of exclusive and quintessentially Cypriot, bespoke activities: olive harvesting, beekeeping, traditional cheese-making and tasting, and Cypriot wine tasting.
