Overview

 
Anassa is one of Cyprus’ most enchanting luxury resorts – a whitewashed, Mediterranean village-style hideaway tumbling down a hillside to a tranquil beachfront on Chrysochou Bay. Expect fine dining, softly perfumed courtyards, a world-class Thalassa spa and thoughtful family facilities, all wrapped in Cypriot charm and soothing sea views.

Terracotta-tiled roofs, trailing bougainvillaea and sun-dappled courtyards give Anassa the feel of a timeless Cypriot village, while its beachfront setting, graceful pools and serene gardens create an effortless sense of escape. Linger over piano‑backed dinners, drift between spa, beach and pool, or join a pottery class or wine tasting to connect with Cyprus’ culture in style. For couples and families seeking Cyprus’ wild northwest coast rather than the busier resort strips, Anassa is a standout choice. This chic, low-rise resort sits right on the beach near the Akamas Peninsula, around 1 hour 10 minutes from Paphos (PFO) Airport. See more Cyprus holidays.

Map & location


Polis and Latchi, Cyprus

Anassa sits on a quiet stretch of Cyprus’ unspoilt northwest coast, between the charming town of Polis and the quaint fishing harbour of Latchi. Framed by the emerald slopes of the Akamas Peninsula, the resort feels wonderfully secluded yet close enough to tavernas, boat trips and local life.

Polis and Latchi share a laid-back, authentically Cypriot feel – think seafront strolls, fresh fish restaurants and long, curved bays with crystal-clear water. It’s an ideal base for hiking in the hills, visiting the myth-laden Baths of Aphrodite, or taking a boat out along the wild coastline.

  • Approx. transfer time from Paphos (PFO) airport 1 hour 10 minutes
