Anassa
OVERVIEW
There’s a reason the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite, was said to enjoy illicit trysts with her lover Adonis in the surroundings of the Akamas Peninsula – it is romance epitomised. Built in the style of a traditional Cypriot village, Anassa is blessed with beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea and sprawling, lush landscaped gardens on the shore of the secluded Asprokremmos Beach.
Cradled in a bowl surrounded by hills and ocean, the beautiful location is just the start. Whether travelling as a couple or family the hotel offers plenty. Families will love the inspiring childcare facilities, interconnecting rooms designed for multi-generational groups and a huge inventory of kit that takes the stress out of your stay before you’ve even arrived – you can order nappies, bottles and even strollers to be ready in your room for your arrival.
Grown-ups will relish the peace and quiet as well as the indulgent dining, one of the best spas in the world and the fashionable concept store – it stocks Miu Miu, Etro and Rochas, so even if you’ve forgotten something there’s a designer saviour waiting at the resort.
