Cyprus
Anassa
Menu
Anassa, meaning ‘queen’ in ancient Greek, is considered one of the top luxury resorts in Europe. The jewel in Cyprus’ crown, the hotel has been built in the style of a traditional local village overlooking a long, secluded beach and the Mediterranean Sea which can be fully enjoyed from the excellent range of watersports on offer!
Tumbling down a secluded hillside, the resort’s classical low-rise buildings, 4 Private Residences and charming gardens are arranged around an idyllic village square complete with Byzantine chapel. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, facilities are inspired by the surrounding landscape, from the extensive Thalassotherapy programme in the luxury Roman-style “Thalassa Spa” to local, seasonal produce served in 5 ‘farm-fresh’ restaurants.

Dining
There are a variety of different dining options available to suit all tastes. Basiliko is an enchanting Asian style restaurant, set amongst candles and light curtains in a cosy cavern like setting.
Helios offers fine French-Mediterranean style dining, positioned on an elegant sea view terrace, this restaurant features outdoor tables shaded by olive trees and live music from pianos and harps.
Amphora provides a more relaxed and casual dining experience, with an expansive sea view to accompany buffet breakfasts and live cooking stations during the evenings.
However, it’s hard to beat lunch at Pelagos on a sunny day, a charming al fresco taverna which overlooks the delightful gardens, swimming pool and ocean, providing a breezy atmosphere to enjoy an array of freshly sourced and grilled seafood, mezzes and pastas.

There are a variety of equally elegant and charming rooms and suites to choose from, all with a light, spacious and luxurious feel. Most rooms benefit from a sea view across the fragrant gardens with multi-room options available including expansive villas with stunning terraces.
