If you’re craving a sun-soaked getaway where relaxation, luxury, and exceptional food come together seamlessly, let me share a little slice of paradise from my recent stay in Paphos, Cyprus. I had the absolute pleasure of experiencing two outstanding properties — Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites and Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel. Each offered something unique, but both delivered the same impeccable service, comfort, and attention to detail that made the trip unforgettable.
🌊 Asimina Suites: Peaceful, Elegant, and Utterly Indulgent
From the moment I arrived at Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites, I felt like I’d stepped into a dream. This adults-only retreat is the definition of tranquil luxury. The suites are stylish and spacious, complete with generous balconies — perfect for unwinding with a glass of wine as the sun sets over the sea.
The pool area is nothing short of idyllic, with plenty of loungers and a wonderfully calm atmosphere. Just a few steps away lies Kymata Beach Restaurant (one of their a la carte restaurants), where I dined on grilled swordfish and fresh oysters by candlelight, right on the pier. The combination of fine dining and stunning views made for a magical evening.
I also treated myself to some well-deserved pampering at the Elixir Spa. With its luxurious treatments and excellent wellness facilities, it’s the perfect place to completely switch off and recharge your mind and body.
☀️ Athena Beach Hotel: Relaxed, Family-Friendly, and Full of Charm
Next, I checked into Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel — a wonderful contrast to Asimina Suites, with a livelier atmosphere that’s perfect for both families and couples.
Set on a beautiful beachfront, the hotel boasts six pools. There’s an adults-only pool for peaceful swims, and waterslides by the family pool to keep the little ones entertained. The rooms are cosy, modern, and ideal for a restful night’s sleep after a day in the sun.
As for the food, I was blown away by the variety. The Atrium Restaurant served up delicious buffet-style meals with live cooking stations — breakfast and dinner were both a treat. I also tried the à la carte restaurants at both hotels and honestly, everything on the menu was divine. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour — I’d happily recommend them all.
🍷 Exploring Paphos: Hidden Gems and Local Flavours
While it would’ve been easy to spend all my time in the comfort of the hotels, I ventured out and discovered even more gems. If you’re keen to explore the local dining scene, don’t miss Antasia Beach Club or Chloe’s Restaurant. Both offered heavenly dishes in picture-perfect settings — the kind of places you’ll want to return to before the meal’s even finished.
And then there’s Paphos Old Town — a real highlight of the trip. This charming area was beautifully restored in 2017, and it’s now a vibrant, walkable hub filled with art, history, and culture. I loved browsing the boutiques on Makariou Avenue, people-watching in Kennedy Square, and stumbling upon quirky art installations tucked away in the streets. It’s a place that invites you to slow down, soak up the atmosphere, and enjoy the little details.
🌅 Final Thoughts
Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape or a family holiday to remember, the Constantinou Bros Hotels offer an exceptional base for exploring the beauty of Cyprus. With world-class service, mouth-watering food, luxurious amenities, and stunning surroundings, they truly have something for everyone.
I left feeling relaxed, inspired, and already dreaming of my next visit. Until then, I’ll be holding on tightly to the memories.
