Cyprus has several factors that contribute to its reputation as a great destination for health and well-being. Cyprus benefits from a Mediterranean climate with mild winters and long, sunny summers. The pleasant weather encourages outdoor activities and a generally active lifestyle, which can positively impact physical and mental well-being. The island boasts beautiful landscapes, including mountains, forests and coastlines. The traditional Mediterranean cuisine, which is known for its health benefits, offers influences from Southern Europe, the Middle East and Central Asia. Cyprus is recognized as one of the regions with "Blue Zones," areas where people tend to live longer and healthier lives. These regions often have lifestyle factors such as a balanced diet, active daily routines, strong community connections and a relaxed attitude. Reasons enough to choose Cyprus as your next health and wellbeing destination. Cyprus is a wonderful country with health and wellbeing offers in all shapes and sizes, suitable for anyone wether single, couples or families. We listed our Cyprus hotels...

Anassa

Anassa means queen in ancient Greek. A worthy name for this stately resort that, with its balustrades, vaults and columns, is sometimes reminiscent of a palace. Here you can bathe in luxury during a royal stay by the sea with a sandy beach.

Highlight: The Thalasso Center with seawater jaccuzi

At Anassa you can not only bathe in seawater in the sea but especially in the thallasocentre. A place where sea and wellness come together in seawater baths but also in the exclusive products used there. The highlight for us is the seawater jacuzzi.

Legs and glutes or baby carriages

This Mediterranean queen stretches grandly over hilly terrain. Those who don't want to work on the legs and glutes in the heat grab one of the many baby carriages. That way you'll be where you want to be in no time.

Almyra

Design Hotel Almyra is located on a promenade by the sea within walking distance of the center of Paphos with its cozy stores and restaurants. The beach is also within walking distance, but is not on your doorstep. The large modern adults-only spa with bar and pool and and sea view is the perfect place to unwind. Very good food can also be had here. In terms of restaurants, Ouzerie (mezzes) by the water and Notios (fresh sushi) next to the pool stand out. Yum!

Highlight: wellness and water sports

In addition to relaxing from the tip of your crown to the tips of your toes in the large designer spa here, this is also a very nice place for active people, especially if you like water sports. Jet skiing, supping, canoeing, boat rides, diving, parasailing, everything is possible! Not tired yet? Do one of the daily holistic activities such as yoga, stretch and relax, core training or toning.

Ideal for: Solo travelers, couples and families

The serene adults-only spa makes Almyra a top location for solo travelers and couples. Also great for families as the other areas of Almyra are very child-friendly. This is quite noticeable during school vacation weeks outside the spa, so as a solo traveler or couple, keep that in mind.

Annabelle

Annabelle is built in stylish traditional Cypriot style with many beige tones and use of stone. From the hotel you walk along the boulevard at your leisure to the cozy center of Paphos where you can stroll along stores. Or enjoy a meal or drink on a sunny terrace. Hotel Annabelle is located on the promenade which is by the sea but not on a beach. No worries, for those who like to have their feet in the sand, the beach is nearby.

Highlight: the gardens and pools

You will have a great time in the beautiful tropical gardens and at Annabelle's various lovely pools. A quiet spot is easily found among palm trees, flower trees and olive trees. Relax with a cool drink, a good book and a bottle of sunblock.

Lots of vacations, less wellness

Annabelle is a fine destination for a relaxing vacation with wellness moments. The wellness center with a sauna, steam bath and a small indoor pool is relatively small. Those who really want to spend a whole day in a spa would be better off at the two hotels above.

A long sandy beach, beautiful exotic gardens throughout and a luxurious spa make Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, a great place for a relaxing wellness beach holiday. From the hotel you can walk straight onto the beach for a splash in the Mediterranean Sea. The hotel has three nice outdoor pools, including an adult-only pool and a seawater pool.

Well-being for everyone

One of Parklane's thalassotherapy pools contains the same salt content as the Dead Sea. To float weightlessly. In addition, the adult rooms are in the separate wing – rust for those looking for rust.
