Holiday Villas In Cyprus

The island of Cyprus straddles the boundary between Europe and West Asia, and, depending on who you ask, you will be told that it is geographically Asian or European. Perhaps this colliding of continents is one of the reasons that Cyprus has such a rich and varied culture. Cyprus is a country which has seen numerous peoples, nations, countries and empires claim its shores, and all have left their mark in one way or another. You can still find the effects of medieval battles or settlements that owe their existence to the early colonies of the Ancient Greeks. Even prehistoric villages have been found on the island, dating back to 8200 BC. Along with all of this, Cyprus benefits from stunning mountain ranges, idyllic beaches and some great nightlife, making a villa in Cyprus perfect for any holiday maker.

As far as Cyprus’ weather is concerned, you can expect a beautiful Mediterranean climate. The summers are hot and dry, perfect for escaping to the cooler mountain heights or taking a dip in the Mediterranean Sea. The summer season lasts for eight months, during which you can expect temperatures between 20°C and 30°C, though they can creep higher. What’s more, along with these glorious temperatures, you’ll get an average of 12 to 13 hours of sunshine throughout June, and can expect double the amount of sun to hit Cyprus throughout the year than London receives.

So, where can you spend these beautiful, sunny days? The middle of the island is sandwiched between two amazing mountain ranges, and our villas in Paphos and villas in Coral Bay are perfectly positioned for you to take advantage of the larger range, the Troodos Mountains, home to Mount Olympus. Here, you’ll find Byzantine monasteries resting on mountain peaks, picturesque villages that hold tightly to the steep slopes, terraced into farmland, and absolutely fantastic views. Walking trails through the ranges are one of Cyprus’ most popular holiday activities.

Between the two ranges is the Mesaoria plain, the most populated area of Cyprus. Nicosia, the capital of Cyprus, is found here, and has excellent bars and restaurants within the old city. There is also the Hamam Omerye, a 14th century building that has been restored to its former glory and is the perfect place to relax within the city. You can also explore the remarkably well-preserved Venetian walls which ring the city. Our villas in Protaras allow you to explore the Mesaoria plain during a wonderful villa holiday.

Of course, one of the main reasons that the island is such an excellent holiday destination is the coastline and the beaches that can be found all along it, and our villas in Cyprus will not let you down if that’s what you’re looking for. Placing you next to some of the best beaches that Cyprus has to offer, our holiday villas give you great access to the golden sand and warm sea of the island’s coastline. If you prefer a more isolated beach, then a short drive outside the resort will reward you with some of Cyprus’ many untouched coves and isolated bays.

With something to offer everyone, Cyprus is an incredible holiday destination, combining wonderful beaches, rich heritage and great local flavours into one great package.

Coral Bay - Cyprus

The beautiful beach resort of Coral Bay is often described as the best bay on the west of the island. And it's no surprise, when you consider the calm turquoise sea, dipping gently into some of the clearest off shore diving space in the Mediterranean, the scattered palm trees, the 600 metres of soft white sand and, in summertime, the almost cloudless blue skies.

Tourism came to the seaside village of Coral Bay later than many other Mediterranean holiday destinations, and despite its popularity the resort has retained a genuine local charm. The pace of life is very laid back and things tend to centre around the activity on the beach. You will also find lots of very friendly tavernas and restaurants selling delicious local dishes, with seafood a speciality.
The relaxing environment of the resort, the long warm days and simple pleasures of good food and beautiful views may well lull you into that perfect holiday mood. However, if you want to get up and explore, Coral Bay is a wonderful base from which to see Cyprus' best and most secluded beaches. All along this coastline you will find little sandy coves, protected by the rugged coastline, just perfect for a day trip out.

Coral Bay Villas - A short drive from Paphos

Our holiday villas in Coral Bay are just a short drive from the city of Paphos, once the capital city of the island. Dating back to pre-Roman times this has been a bustling city, so it is literally full of sights of archaeological interest. For example, the Tombs of the Kings is an amazing subterranean world full of hugely decorous tombs, with pillars and ancient engravings. Also of note is the Agia Solomoni church, which is still covered in some 12th Century frescos, a rare sight this far east in the Mediterranean, while according to legend the tree outside the church has healing properties. Meanwhile, the Mosaics of Paphos are considered among the finest in the eastern Mediterranean. With so much to explore, why not let one of the Villa Parade representatives at your resort suggest a sightseeing itinerary to get the most out of your visit?

The Sea Caves Area

Here at Villa Parade we also have a range of stunning Cyprus villas in the exclusive Sea Caves Area. Known as one of the island's most luxurious, glamorous residential areas, Sea Caves is a popular getaway for those who enjoy the finer things in life. Thanks to the great offers of Villa Parade, however, a stay in one of our holiday villas in this area of Cyprus will be affordable as well as enjoyable. The unspoilt coastline of the Sea Caves resort is scattered with several breathtaking little sandy coves, which are the perfect spot to enjoy an evening picnic as the stunning sunsets fill the sky.

St George's Area

Also known as Ayrios Georgios, this picturesque fishing harbour is one of the island's best places to enjoy a seaside holiday. The fantastic sandy beach is popular with sunbathers and leads into a gloriously warm, clear sea. You can enjoy all sorts of seaside pastimes including snorkelling, safe bathing and even scuba diving. If that doesn't whet your appetite then the menus in the local fish tavernas certainly will. With amazing fresh local fish being hauled right into the harbour every day, the selection of fine seafood dishes is mouth watering. Our recommendation is to try a fish mezze in one of the restaurants overlooking the ocean.

Protaras is situated between Cavo Greco and the village of Paralimni and boasts the fabulous Fig Tree Bay, which stretches over 10 miles of Sandy Beach. The weather in Protaras is warm all year round, the summers are long and hot and the winters are very mild.

Protaras is more suited to family life. It offers a good choice of shops, restaurants, family outdoor bars, amusement park and night time entertainment, although, nearby Ayia Napa is easily reached by car or taxi, if you are looking for livelier nightlife. Also, a great experience for everyone is to visit the ocean aquarium and the magic dancing waters in Protaras.

Prophet Elias has a panoramic view of the entire town and the sea which will simply amaze you. One can climb the many steps up the hill to view this breathtaking sight and visit the small church of Prophet Elias at the top. It is also a very popular spot for couples who get married in Cyprus to have a photo call after their civil wedding ceremony.

Our beautiful holiday villas in the Cyprus village of Latchi overlook a fabulous stretch of sea. Whilst keeping a strong local flavour and easygoing way of life, Latchi also caters perfectly for tourists with a range of great shops selling everything from sun screen to souvenirs to sandals.
For all you beach lovers, there are lots of fabulous sandy beaches in the Latchi area with great clear seas for snorkelling and swimming.

Between Polis and the Baths of Aphrodite, this area is rather more a collection of fish tavernas and tourist shops than a village. A relaxing place to come to for freshly caught fish at a waterside restaurant after a walk in peaceful Akamas or a swim at one of the nearby beaches. There are souvenir shops and banks as well as the eating places, and boat trips along the coast leave regularly from the little harbour.
The resort has swelled in recent years and now includes tourist shops, bars and banking facilities as well as the long established waterside fish tavernas. There is an excellent European Blue Flag Beach of coarse sand or shingle and 'Latchi Watersports' are based here.
At Villa Parade we have several gorgeous holiday villas in the resort of Polis town. This bustling centre in the green and lush countryside of Cyprus has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.

Within the town itself you will find a very helpful tourist office, welcoming tavernas, great restaurants, a supermarket, banks and lots of great shops. There is also a pharmacy and petrol station for those essentials. Because this is a real working town it has a genuine Cypriot flavour and atmosphere, which we think you'll love. The small coffee shops and restaurants sell real local dishes, while the surrounding farming country means that you will find lots of fabulous local produce to enjoy, from pecans and peaches to olives and oranges.

Legend has it that the goddess of love Aphrodite was born out of the waves at a beach just to the west of Polis Town. And you don't need to be a classical historian to appreciate the stunning views at the site. Aphrodite is also said to have bathed in the clear waters of a natural grotto surrounded by woods in the area we now know as Polis. These days you can go on great walking trips around this area to see the countryside that inspired the legend. Nature lovers will also enjoy a visit to the Akamas Peninsula Nature reserve to spot some local and exotic wildlife.
