Cyprus has long been a favourite destination for travellers from across the globe. Nestled in the Mediterranean Sea, this perfectly-formed island attracts action-lovers as well as those seeking solace from regular life.
Travelling to Cyprus as a couple leaves you with a longing to return as well as several unforgettable moments. Here are some tips for planning a dream luxurious holiday to Cyprus.
Choosing the perfect luxury base
When travelling with your loved one, finding the right place to stay needs to tick all the boxes. You want somewhere you can relax, sleep well and enjoy as a pair.
Cyprus is home to all types of accommodation, but the luxury options are the best choice. Paphos, Limassol and Latchi are all home to up-market options, offering all the extras that make a holiday feel special.
Think about proximity to other attractions. For beach access combined with upscale amenities, hotels such as the Capo Bay Hotel are an excellent choice.
Gourmet dining and unique culinary experiences
The Mediterranean atmosphere is already conducive to romantic dining experiences. Eating an incredible meal while watching the sun set across the glittering sea is the stuff of dreams. There are plenty of options where this is possible, such as Brasserie Au Bon Plaisir.
Cyprus is also home to some stunning vineyards which produce delicious drinks. For a special afternoon, why not do a wine tasting? Sampling Xynisteri or Yiannoudi will forever change your understanding of what makes a good wine.
Wellness, spas and private escape moments
Whilst location is important for a luxury holiday, taking time to feel relaxed and focus on wellness is important too. Part of that is feeling like you and your partner are the only people on Earth sometimes.
Spas are often on-site, allowing you easy access when you want to treat yourself. Why not book in for a couple’s massage experience? These connect you to your partner in a deeper way whilst you relax.
If you want true private escapism, then a romantic sunset yacht trip for two should be in your itinerary. Floating on the crystal blue sea, having a drink and watching the sun set is incredibly intimate.
Elevated experiences and romantic excursions
There is a plethora of activities on offer across Cyprus. Helicopter rides over the coast always result in breathtaking views as well as a unique experience. For something a bit slower, hot air balloon rides when the sun is coming up over the Kyrenia Mountains are a special experience.
For those who prefer to keep two feet on the ground, staying somewhere off-grid can bring the uniqueness you desire. There has been a rise in people looking for luxury off-grid retreats in Cyprus, and it is easy to see why when you view the awe-inspiring landscapes.
