Windmills Apartments

The Windmills Apartments are a family-owned, village-style self-catering complex in Pernera — a quieter coastal area of the Protaras resort zone on Cyprus’s east coast, sitting between the village of Paralimni and the main Protaras strip. The complex is arranged around a central pool and gardens in the style of a traditional village courtyard, giving it a relaxed, intimate character that sets it apart from the larger resort hotels in the area. The sandy beaches of Pernera are approximately 400 metres from the complex — an easy flat walk — with calm, clear water typical of Cyprus’s sheltered east coast.

Apartments, Pool and Facilities

The Windmills Apartments offer comfortable self-catering accommodation well suited to families and couples who want the flexibility of independent living alongside the convenience of a staffed complex. Apartments are equipped with kitchenettes, air conditioning and private balconies or terraces. The outdoor swimming pool is the centrepiece of the complex, set in attractive gardens with sunbed terraces and a poolside bar. The village-style layout creates a social atmosphere without sacrificing privacy. A supermarket, tavernas and restaurants are within easy walking distance of the complex, making self-catering genuinely convenient.

Pernera, Protaras and Nearby Attractions

Pernera sits at the northern end of the Protaras resort zone — quieter than the main Protaras strip but connected to it along a scenic coastal path. The area is known for its sea caves, rock formations and some of the cleanest water on the island, with Pernera Beach and Green Bay both close to the complex. The coastal walking trails between Pernera and Cape Greco pass through dramatic limestone scenery with rock arches and sea caves — among the most scenic coastal walks on Cyprus. Fig Tree Bay, consistently rated one of Cyprus’s finest beaches, is a short drive or taxi ride south. Ayia Napa, Cyprus’s liveliest resort, is approximately 15 km west, easily reached for an evening out or a day visit to the waterpark.
