Aiming to re-introduce its guests to life’s quintessential pleasures, Anassa is a Mediterranean hillside retreat complete with a secluded picture-perfect beach, elegant accommodation and communal areas, and impeccably friendly and welcoming service.

A collection of 166 enchanting rooms, suites and villas are styled to resemble a whitewashed Byzantine village, cascading down flower-filled gardens to the sea and guaranteeing sweet dreams through a com-bination of sumptuous furnishings and luxurious facilities.

The full scope of Cypriot flavour is brought to life at Anassa’s four restaurants under the guidance of exec-utive chef David Goodridge. Seasonal and local produce is masterfully transformed into native dishes as well as more inspired by the cuisines of Europe and Asia.

To seal the deal on a Cypriot wellness break to soothe the body and soul, Anassa’s Thalassa Spa calls on the spirit of the sea to provide a transformative thalassotherapy experience. Whether it’s through using the salt-infused pools or receiving expert massage treatments, you will emerge having had all of your stress simply washed away.

Massage therapies range from sports techniques to body-shaping, mother-to-be and soothing foot rituals, while the Anassa Infinity Body Ritual by Tata Harper is designed to slip you into a state of pure serenity. From anti-ageing to purifying, collagen-boosting to skin-cooling, a range of Tata Harper facials can be customised to your specific needs.

A comprehensive menu of hair and make-up treatments includes waxing and gel manicure and pedicure services.

Couples are indulged with a Double Indulgence massage to balance and synergise the mind and body as well as the Couple’s Escape, a transformative top-to-toe body scrub and massage to leave you both glow-ing and renewed.
