Description
The traditional Mediterranean style buildings are located around a magnificent swimming pool and beside one of the best golf courses in Cyprus.
The 290 rooms and suites are luxuriously furnished, all with a private terrace and fantastic views over the pool and gardens or the golf course and the sea. Some even come with outdoor jacuzzis and private plunge pools.
The resort has so much to offer sporting enthusiasts. Hugging the coastal landscape, the 18-hole golf course has dramatic natural beauty and breathtaking views and a tricky hole that demands that your ball clears a plunging ravine.

Guests can also take advantage of the extensive tennis academy with 11 multi surface courts and professional tennis coaches.
There are two beach clubs; The Zias Beach Club, located on a 1.7km stretch of unspoilt coastline that is a 15-minute drive away by a complimentary shuttle service running throughout the day. Or the New Cove Beach Club which opened in July 2010 and is located only 900 metres from the hotel entrance and is reached using a regular and complimentary shuttle bus service from the hotel. This beach club offers a brand new Eco Water Sports facility. The centre only uses human or wind powered equipment in order to be environmentally friendly. Guests can rent single or double kayaks, stand up paddles, hydrobikes and much more.
For those seeking a more laid back holiday, The Retreat Spa offers the ultimate spa experience. The 18-beauty rooms, Thermae baths, and ultra-comprehensive range of luxurious treatments combine to make it one of Cyprus' best spa centres. Top-to-toe pampering is the order of the day here.
