Columbia Beach Resort, Pissouri Bay, Cyprus

Location

This all-suite resort, just 30-minutes from Paphos Airport, presides over the quiet pebble beach of cliff-framed Pissouri Bay. Set amid verdant gardens and overlooking the Med's endless blue, an enormous palm-fringed pool forms the resort's sparkling centrepiece, and the spa is among the best in Cyprus. 

Accommodation

With spectacular views across the resort's landscaped gardens, lagoon swimming pool and the sparkling waters of Pissouri Bay and the Mediterranean Sea, Columbia Beach Resort's 95 suites offer guests a haven of comfort, style and luxury. Cool stone floors and ceiling fans keep suites cool during the warm summer months and hand woven fabrics, tasteful wooden furniture and subtle colour schemes all reflect the beauty of the island's Mediterranean landscapes.
