The Silver Sands Hotel is a beach resort hotel in Protaras, one of Cyprus’s most well-established and consistently popular holiday destinations. Protaras occupies the south-eastern tip of Cyprus and has built its reputation on the quality of its coastline: a series of sheltered sandy bays with water of exceptional clarity and calm, shallow conditions that make it ideal for swimming, snorkelling and water sports. The Silver Sands Hotel offers comfortable accommodation within this setting, putting guests within easy reach of the beaches and resort amenities that characterise a Protaras holiday — blue-sky mornings on the sand, fresh seafood in the evenings and the unhurried pace of a Cypriot coastal summer.
The hotel provides air-conditioned rooms with private bathroom and balcony, and offers the standard resort amenities — a pool and sun terrace for those who prefer to spend the day close to the hotel, dining arrangements covering breakfast and dinner, and the proximity to Protaras’s beach strip for those who want to be on the sand every day. The resort itself adds significantly to the offering: beach rental equipment, water sports operators, boat trips, snorkelling sites and a well-developed promenade of restaurants, cafés and bars are all within walking distance. Protaras is compact and easy to navigate, and the family-friendly character of the resort means the atmosphere remains pleasant and accessible throughout the season.
The star attraction of Protaras is undoubtedly its coastline. Fig Tree Bay — a curving arc of pale sand with the intensely clear, warm water typical of Cyprus’s east coast — is one of the most celebrated beaches in the Mediterranean and has featured prominently in numerous European beach rankings. The wider Protaras coast has a series of smaller bays offering calmer, less crowded alternatives for those who prefer to explore beyond the main beach. Capo Greco National Forest Park, the dramatic limestone headland south of Protaras, is one of Cyprus’s most spectacular natural areas — with cliff-top walking trails, rare flora, sea caves and the famous Blue Lagoon accessible by boat or kayak. The divided medieval city of Famagusta — 30 km north — is one of the finest historical sites in the eastern Mediterranean, with a remarkably preserved Venetian wall circuit and Gothic cathedral ruins. Ayia Napa and its WaterWorld Themed Waterpark are 12 km to the west.

The Silver Sands Hotel is located in Protaras on the east coast of Cyprus, close to the resort’s sandy beaches and the main resort centre. Protaras is approximately 50 km from Larnaca International Airport — around 45 minutes by road. The hotel is within easy walking distance of Fig Tree Bay and the restaurants, bars and shops along the Protaras beachfront promenade.
The hotel provides air-conditioned rooms with balcony, a swimming pool and sun terrace, and dining options covering the main meals of the day. The beach is the primary facility: Protaras’s sandy bays and clear water are minutes away, and the resort’s well-developed beachfront offers water sports hire, boat trips, snorkelling and the full range of beach-bar and restaurant amenities needed for a comfortable summer holiday.
Yes — Protaras is one of the best spots in Cyprus for water-based activities. The clear, calm water and rocky outcrops along the coastline create excellent snorkelling conditions, with good visibility and a range of marine life. Pedalo hire, jet skis, banana boats, kayaking and glass-bottom boat trips are available from the beach. Capo Greco’s sea caves and the Blue Lagoon, reachable by boat trip from Protaras, are especially popular for snorkelling.
Protaras benefits from Cyprus’s typically warm, dry Mediterranean climate — one of the sunniest in Europe. Summer temperatures (June–September) regularly reach 30–35°C with almost no rainfall, and sea temperatures rise to around 26–28°C by August. The shoulder season months of May, early June and October offer pleasant warmth (20–28°C) with smaller crowds, and even November and March see comfortable temperatures suited to sightseeing and walking holidays.
