Overview

 
Tumbling down a quiet bay on Cyprus’ south coast, Columbia Beach Resort feels more like a traditional village than a hotel. Think stone-clad buildings with terracotta roofs, palm-studded gardens, a showstopping infinity pool and a sweep of Blue Flag beach. Suites are generously sized and beautifully finished, dining is a genuine highlight, and the vibe is effortless Mediterranean chic – all wrapped up in certified sustainable credentials.

Columbia Beach Resort brings together chic village styling, a sweeping infinity pool and a curve of pebbly-sand beach to create one of Cyprus’ most desirable coastal addresses. Dine under stone arches, linger over Cypriot meze on the terrace, wander through palm gardens to the shore or retreat to your suite – many with bay views, plunge pools or family-friendly layouts. The spa, kids’ clubs and watersports round out a resort that works just as well for honeymoons as it does for multi-generation escapes. For couples and families wanting Cyprus’ characterful south coast without the crowds of the big hubs, Columbia Beach Resort delivers a refined, village-style escape right on Pissouri’s Blue Flag bay. It’s around 30 minutes from Paphos Airport. See more Cyprus holidays.

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


The heart of the resort is its long, lagoon-style freshwater infinity pool, mirroring the curve of Pissouri Bay. It’s lined with sunbeds and parasols and framed by stone colonnades and palms – a picturesque spot for lazy days.

Little ones have their own freshwater children’s pool close by, with baby-changing facilities and space for inflatables and water toys.

Step beyond the pool and you’re straight onto the Blue Flag bay itself, where the pebbly-sand shore shelves into clear water. From here you can join watersports including canoes, pedalos, giant inflatables and motorised options, run by an external provider and payable locally.

Fresh pool towels are complimentary, and facilities may vary between pool areas and seasonally.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellbeing is taken seriously at Hebe Spa, a serene retreat with sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a wide menu of massages and beauty rituals (charges apply; typically 16+). An on-site hairdresser is ideal before special dinners or weddings.

The air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, fixed strength equipment and free weights (minimum age usually 18), while an activity programme might include aerobics, aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, football, squash, table tennis and tennis. Bike hire and cycle services are available for exploring the coast and countryside.

Day into evening, there’s a gentle entertainment programme with occasional daytime activities and live music – enough to add atmosphere without overpowering the resort’s relaxed, upscale feel.
