Map & location
Ayia Napa, Cyprus
Faros Hotel puts you right in Ayia Napa’s harbour area, an ideal spot if you like having everything within easy reach. Step out to the pretty fishing harbour for seafront tavernas and sunset strolls, or wander a few hundred metres to the nearest sandy beach for classic Cyprus Blue Flag swimming and water sports.
The buzzing resort centre, with its clubs, karaoke bars and cocktail spots, is close enough to walk yet far enough away that pool days feel relaxed. When you’re ready for a day out, you’ve got easy access to Nissi Beach, Cape Greco’s sea caves and the 14th-century Ayia Napa Monastery.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The huge outdoor freeform pool is where most guests spend their days. Curving around palm islands and terraces, it offers plenty of space for both swimmers and sunbathers, with sunbeds and parasols laid out all around. A separate shallow children’s pool means families have their own splash space, and inflatables and water toys are allowed in both outdoor pools.
There’s also an indoor adults-only pool within the spa area – great if you want a quiet lap or two away from the sun (note that spa access is chargeable). Complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can travel lighter.
The nearest sandy beach is roughly 300m away, giving you an easy choice between pool days and sea swims.
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness and workouts are covered with an air-conditioned gym that features cardio machines, an aerobics studio, stretching area and fixed strength equipment (minimum age 16 years; typical opening 08:00–20:00).
At the spa (18+), you’ll find a sauna and steam room along with a menu of massage and beauty treatments – ideal post-beach or pre-night-out pampering (charges apply and hours may vary seasonally).
Families benefit from a children’s playground with swings plus kid-friendly dining options in Chez Makis. For evening downtime, there’s occasional entertainment between mid-May and mid-October, including bingo and live music – enough to create atmosphere without overwhelming the relaxed feel.
Other handy facilities include:
- 24-hour reception and concierge services
- Currency exchange
- Luggage storage
- Equipment hire such as bottle warmers, motorised scooters and wheelchairs (charges may apply)
