Elysium

About this hotel

The 5-star Elysium occupies Paphos's beachfront right beside the Tombs of the Kings, its ornate furnishings matched by sunset views across the Mediterranean from the terrace. Every accommodation has a balcony or terrace facing either the lush grounds or the sea, along with a smart TV with satellite channels and a private bathroom. The hotel's restaurants range across Italian, Japanese and other international kitchens, a traditional Cypriot breakfast opens each morning, and outdoor tables look over the gardens to the water. At the centre of the resort is a striking multi-level outdoor pool with a hydro-massage area and swim-up bar; guests of the Royal wing also have the adults-only Royal pool. The Opium Health Spa offers a wide menu of treatments built on aromatherapy and hydrotherapy, and the grounds hold two tennis courts, a scuba diving centre and a gym. Paphos Airport is a thirty-minute drive, with free car parking on site.
