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.

Complementary thalassotherapy baths and jet showers begin your journey to rejuvenation, before a range of signature treatments – including the Anassa Cypriot Twist, an Augustinus Bader Advanced Facial, an Osea Organic Ocean Journey and The Anastasia Achilleos Method – combine Cypriot tradition and targeted products to immediate effect.
As well as a vast indoor pool and 18 treatment rooms, Thalassa Spa offers saunas, steam baths, a sea-water exercise-jet pool, a squash court, fitness room, yoga and healthy eating options for an all-round wellness experience.
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.

To Eat
Overseen by executive chef David Goodridge, Anassa’s restaurants promote the use of seasonal local produce and even make all of their own cheese, breads, pastries, jams and sauces onsite to offer the most authentic fresh flavours.
From candle-lit curations in a cosy cavern to outdoor plates taken on in a sunken open-air terrace, Basiliko serves up soft bites from Alaskan crab to beef tataki to tantalise and tempt your tastebuds.
With stylish interiors and an olive tree terrace accompanied by delicate harp and piano music, discover contemporary French-Mediterranean flavours at Helios.
For carefree relaxed dining head to Amphora, where you’ll find local and international buffet breakfasts, à la carte selections, and themed dinners with live cooking stations. Poolside mezze, local specialities and the best fresh fish are on offer at Pelagos, a shaded taverna overlooking the pool, gardens and sea beyond.
All this can be accompanied by visits to the swim-up Meltemi Bar for snacks, smoothies and signature Cojito cocktails; the laid-back Blue beach bar; and the Armonia Bar, which is perfect for elegant evening get-togethers.

There’s a reason Cyprus compels so many visitors to return year after year: well served by budget airlines, it mixes the charm and familiarity of a Greek island with a long-haul climate of almost guaranteed sunshine (300 days a year, no less, so you’d be pretty unlucky not to get one). Plus, it’s got all the ingredients for a relaxing beach holiday: delicious Mediterranean food, white sand and the bluest water you’ll find in the Med.
Anassa Hotel is a palace-cum-oasis of marble-columned calm on the island’s western-most tip. Built next to a cliff, it has geometric pools, white loungers as far as the eye can see, a huge, sandy beach, a couple of seriously fabulous boutiques and every five-star indulgence your heart could desire. Built on the site where, legend has it, the goddess Aphrodite would hold romantic trysts, it’s an easy place to fall in love with.
Thalassa Spa at Anassa
Stepping into the tranquil, neo-classical spa is like stepping back into Greece’s ancient past.
It has a naturally lit indoor pool framed by classical columns, and Thalassotherapy treatments which use water pumped in from the bay in front of the hotel in its 18 treatment rooms.
The Treatment
If you try one thing, it has to be one of the hotel’s rightly famous Anastasia Achilleos facials. A long-time cult legend in the beauty world and a proud Cypriot, she personally trained all the spa’s facialists in her unique form of facial massage that uses techniques taken from reiki and cranio-sacral theory to drain puffy skin and loosen up tight muscles, leaving you looking younger and glowier and smelling of heavenly essential oils. Actual bliss.
Other Treatments
The spa is renowned for its healing waters and thalassotherapy treatments, which involve being hosed down water at various degrees of intensity, ranging from a gentle massage to a deep muscle knead that can sometimes be almost painful.
The after-effects are impressive in de-knotting muscles, but you may be a little stiff the day after – you have been warned.
To Stay
Sea views sit around every corner, framed by white-washed exteriors and cool marble interiors with high ceilings.
Outside, cobbled pathways threaded with pink bougainvillea, rosemary bushes and olive trees wind their way to the hotel’s 166 rooms and suites.Rooms are stylishly understated, with private balconies and stunning views. Utterly private and very spread out the resort never feels full, nor does the superbly looked after infinity pool area.
A short boat ride can take you to the crystal clear waters of the famous local blue lagoon. Inland, the little town of Latchi is five minutes away and up in the hills is the beautiful Holy Monastery of Chrysorrogiatissa.
To Eat
Think Mediterranean food at its best – long lunches of Greek salad, mezze, grilled chicken and fish in the welcome shade of a vine-covered verandah looking over the sea, washed down with serious amounts of ice-cold rose wine.
For dinner, try the enchanting Helios restaurant, where you’ll eat super-smart French cuisine in the balmy night air surrounded by olive trees hung from every branch with twinkling fairy lights.
Don’t Miss
On the hunt for adrenaline after all that relaxing? A day out quad biking along the island’s rugged Akama peninsula has stunning views, deserted rocky coves, turquoise seas and thrills a-plenty.
