Thalassa Boutique Hotel & Spa

Perched on a small peninsula in Cyprus that overlooks the majestic Coral Bay, Thalassa Boutique Hotel & Spa plays to the body's every sense. Its location, a sandy cape surrounded by azure waters, sets the tone for a wonderful stay. With 58 deluxe rooms named for Greek gods and goddesses plus a personal butler assigned to every suite — the first and only place on the island to offer such a service — Thalassa, Greek for sea, truly indulges its guests. Each room at this Small Luxury Hotels of the World affiliate is a capsule of luxury created from a palette of soft creams, rich browns and earthy terracotta hues. Timbered floors, marble baths and million-dollar ocean views add a dramatic element behind closed doors.

The resort offers an abundance of dining opportunities, from casual beach bars to more upscale eateries serving regional fare and fresh seafood pulled from local waters. There is a plethora of recreational activities to enjoy on the compound. Do a little deep-sea diving or snorkeling, create your own keepsake inside the arts and crafts workshop center, retreat to the cigar lounge or take a dip in the indoor swimming pool. Nearby are three 18-hole golf courses, as well as stables where you can saddle up for a horseback ride. Anagenisis Spa, the resort's holistic wellness center, takes a healing approach to pampering. The philosophy is to treat each guest as a whole using therapies that address the mind, body and soul. As for service, rest assured that you are in the best of hands.
