Map & location
Nissi Bay Ayia Napa, Cyprus, Cyprus
Set in Nissi Bay on the edge of Ayia Napa, Nissi Beach Resort enjoys a prized position directly on the famous crescent of Nissi Beach. Golden sand, crystal-clear shallows and a little sandbar island just offshore create a natural playground for swimming and watersports.
Step out through manicured gardens to the beach, wander just 140m to nearby shops, cafés and low-key bars, or hop in a taxi to Ayia Napa’s livelier centre for late-night entertainment. It’s a fantastic base if you want a beach-first holiday with easy access to day trips along the south-east Cyprus coastline.
- Beach beachfront (direct access to Nissi Beach)
- shops, bars & restaurants 140m

Pool & outdoors
The heart of the resort is its outdoor freshwater pool with integrated children’s section, framed by lawns, palms and plentiful sunbeds and parasols. Complimentary pool towels are provided.
There’s also an indoor freshwater pool at the spa centre, heated between 1 November and 15 April (open seasonally, usually 01 Apr–31 Oct), ideal for a quiet dip outside the hottest hours or in shoulder seasons. Baby-changing facilities are available poolside and in the spa area.
Step beyond the gardens and you’re straight onto Nissi Beach itself – a gorgeous sweep of fine white sand and clear turquoise water with an offshore sandbar you can usually wade to. A range of watersports such as canoeing, pedalos, inflatables and motorised options are offered by an external provider (local charges apply; availability varies by season and weather).
