Overview

 
Situated on one of the loveliest sandy bays in Cyprus and backed by the St Nikandros Forest nature reserve, Asterias Beach Hotel blends a quiet, natural setting with easy access to Ayia Napa’s buzz. Expect fresh, modern interiors, a trio of pools overlooking the Mediterranean and an All Inclusive set‑up that works just as well for couples as for relaxed family escapes.

Wake up to shimmering sea views, palm-framed pools and a sweep of pale sand just steps away. Asterias Beach Hotel feels like its own little cove-side hideaway, with the nature reserve on one side and the Mediterranean on the other. Spend long, lazy days between the pools, spa and beach bar, then wander up to the rooftop for golden-hour cocktails over Nissi Bay. For couples seeking Cyprus’ coastal charm with a calmer vibe than central Ayia Napa, Asterias Beach Hotel delivers that sweet spot: beachfront, peaceful and modern, yet close enough to dip into the nightlife when you fancy it. It’s around 1 hour 20 minutes from Larnaca Airport. See more Cyprus holidays.

Map & location


Nissi Bay Ayia Napa, Cyprus, Cyprus

Asterias Beach Hotel sits right on the sands of Nissi Bay, on the quieter fringe of Ayia Napa. On one side you have the protected St Nikandros Forest nature reserve, on the other a turquoise bay that looks straight out of a postcard.

From here you can enjoy beach walks, watersports and toes-in-the-sand sundowners, while Ayia Napa’s harbour, bars and nightlife are just a short taxi ride away. It’s a strong choice if you want a more tranquil base without giving up access to the resort’s energy and dining options.

  • • Beach beachfront (direct access)
  • • Nearest shops, bars & restaurants 1km
  • • Ayia Napa resort centre 4km
  • Approx. transfer time from airport (Larnaca – LCA) 1 hour 20 minutes

Facilities

Pool & outdoors


With three outdoor pools plus a heated indoor pool, you can mix up your swim spots throughout your stay.

The main outdoor freshwater pools come with spacious sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols for long, lazy days. There’s also a dedicated children’s pool so younger guests can splash safely, with water toys permitted.

Indoors, the spa’s freshwater pool is heated in spring (from early April to late May) and again in late autumn (typically late October to end November) – ideal if you’re travelling at the cooler ends of the season. Fresh pool towels are included, so that’s one less thing in your suitcase.

Step beyond the terrace and you’re straight onto a wide sandy beach with clear, shallow water that’s perfect for swimming, paddling and watersports organised locally. It’s this direct access to the bay that really makes Asterias stand out in Nissi.

Spa, sports & wellness


Wellness-wise, the hotel’s spa features a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, together with a menu of massages and beauty treatments, plus an on-site hairdresser (all at extra charge; minimum age 18 years for spa facilities).

The air-conditioned gym is kitted out with cardio machines, a free-weights area and a stretching zone (typically open 09:00–19:00; 18+), while a full programme of activities runs through the day – think aerobics, aqua aerobics, basketball, football, darts, table tennis, tennis, trampolining and yoga. Some sports may carry a local charge.

There’s daily daytime and evening entertainment from roughly April through November, including quizzes, small team games, team sports, water-based activities, live music, in-house shows, bingo and a kids’ mini-disco.

Practical touches include a 24-hour reception with currency exchange and luggage storage, a handy on-site mini-market, and equipment hire such as wheelchairs and bottle warmers (local charges apply).
