Ayia Napa: The best area to stay in Cyprus for beaches
We’ll start with a lesser-known whale-tail-shaped beach: Makronissos. It is secluded and tranquil, perfect for those who want to relax. This beach has a lot of natural beauty: a rocky coastline, lush vegetation, and picturesque views.
It is also home to an ancient archaeological site, where you can explore the ruins of an early Christian basilica and other historical remains.
Lastly, the waters surrounding Makronissos Beach are renowned for their clarity and vibrant marine life, making it a popular spot for snorkelling and diving.
This iconic beach is famous for its turquoise waters, soft sands, and the small offshore island, accessible by a wooden walkway. Nissi Beach is a popular spot for sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying the lively beach bars and clubs.
For a more action-packed day, you can go jet skiing, parasailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, or riding a banana boat. In addition to these popular water sports, you may also find other activities available, such as kayaking, wakeboarding, and tubing.
These two more intimate beaches offer peace when you want to escape the hustle and bustle. Relax and unwind as you soak up the sun, swim in the calm waters, or explore the underwater world through snorkelling or diving together.
Pantachou and Glyki Nero are close to Monachus Monachus Arch, also known as the Bridge of Love. It is a beautiful natural rock formation, an iconic landmark that is a must-see for visitors seeking breathtaking beauty and a romantic atmosphere. A little further down you’ll find a wooden bridge where you can hang your lock as a testament of your love.
The above-mentioned beaches are just a few of the many in the Ayia Napa area. The best place to stay if you want to visit all of these is hotel Napa Suites.
After a beach day, you can plunge into our rooftop pool and enjoy the view. Then after freshening up in your comfortable room, you can have a divine dinner at either Umami (Japanese and Pan Asian inspired) or the chic bar and restaurant The Courtyard. Later, dance the night away with live music.
