Faros Hotel

Faros Hotel

The Faros Hotel is a comfortable property situated in the heart of Ayia Napa, Cyprus — one of the Mediterranean’s most energetic and celebrated resort towns on the island’s sun-drenched south-east coast. The name Faros means lighthouse in Greek, and much like its namesake, the hotel serves as a reliable, welcoming point of reference in a resort that draws visitors from across the UK and Europe every summer. Ayia Napa has evolved far beyond its early reputation as purely a party destination. Today it offers world-class beaches, a growing food and bar scene, and some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the eastern Mediterranean, making it a genuine destination for both beach lovers and those seeking lively nightlife in equal measure.

Rooms and Facilities

The Faros Hotel offers comfortable rooms with the essential facilities guests expect from a well-run Cypriot resort hotel. Rooms are well-appointed and designed with relaxation in mind, providing a cool, comfortable retreat after a day exploring the beaches and attractions of Ayia Napa. The hotel’s communal facilities give guests everything they need for a straightforward and enjoyable Cyprus holiday — from a refreshing pool to lounge areas where you can unwind in the warm evening air. The location at the heart of the resort means that bars, restaurants, shops and the beach are all within easy reach, so guests can make the most of everything Ayia Napa has to offer without the need for lengthy transfers or taxi rides.

Ayia Napa and Nearby Attractions

Ayia Napa sits on the south-east tip of Cyprus and is renowned above all for its beaches — and with good reason. Nissi Beach, just 2 km from the Faros Hotel, is consistently rated among the finest beaches in Europe, with its shallow turquoise waters, fine white sand and lively beach-bar atmosphere. Beyond the beaches, the Cape Greco National Park offers dramatic sea cliffs, hidden sea caves and walking trails along the rugged coastline — a world away from the bustle of the resort centre. The resort town itself has a vibrant nightlife scene centred around the main square, with dozens of bars and clubs, as well as a growing number of quality restaurants serving both Cypriot and international cuisine. The nearby resort of Protaras, around 10 km to the north, offers a slightly calmer alternative for a day trip, with its own beautiful beaches and family-friendly atmosphere. Across the island, the historic towns of Larnaca and Nicosia are well worth exploring for those who want to venture beyond the resort.
