Anassa

Hotel details

Anassa is a five-star luxury hotel located on the unspoiled coastline of western Cyprus, near the charming town of Polis and the Akamas Peninsula. Often described as one of the Mediterranean’s most elegant retreats, Anassa—meaning “queen” in ancient Greek—lives up to its name by offering regal service, refined design, and a peaceful, timeless setting.

Resembling a traditional Cypriot village, the hotel’s whitewashed buildings and terracotta roofs are scattered across landscaped gardens that lead down to a secluded beach with crystal-clear waters. The 166 rooms, suites, and residences are elegantly appointed with marble floors, light-filled interiors, and balconies or terraces overlooking the sea or gardens. Some suites include private plunge pools or Jacuzzis, creating a sense of indulgent seclusion.

Dining at Anassa is a highlight, with four restaurants offering everything from fine Mediterranean cuisine at Basiliko to beachside dining at Pelagos. Ingredients are locally sourced, and menus are crafted to reflect both tradition and innovation. The hotel also offers exceptional private dining options, including candlelit dinners under the stars.

Anassa’s award-winning Thalassa Spa is renowned for its holistic treatments, drawing on the healing powers of the sea and local herbs. Guests can enjoy tailored wellness programs, yoga sessions, and indoor Roman-style pools. For families, there are thoughtfully designed kids’ clubs and activities, while adventurous guests can explore the nearby nature reserve, go diving, or sail along the coast.

Combining understated luxury, natural beauty, and authentic Cypriot hospitality, Anassa offers an unforgettable escape that feels both exclusive and deeply rooted in the island’s culture and landscape.
