Limassol / AMARA

A whisper of its ancient Greek namesake, “Amarantos”, meaning everlasting, is just the start of the soothing aura at this muted lifestyle hotel; where the soft sway of the ocean and soundproofing technology might just tempt a pin drop.  

Vivacious and vibrant, the familiar energy of Limassol’s magnetic coastline isn’t one that would usually prompt a pause for thought; but that’s exactly why AMARA is stepping in with a fetching new pace for things. Being an enthusiast for minimalism and stylishly low fuss, the distractions have all been taken care of to entice busy minds to warmly unravel. Everything from the zig-zagging marble footpath that leads to an infinity pool at the edge of the horizon, to the promise of the same 180-degree view from every room encourages a slower groove. And if it’s space you're looking for, the rooms themselves are generous sanctuaries, with super-silent soundproof technology the tipping point for that much-needed peace and quiet. For families that have got a hand in all their own amusements, the seafront cabanas are the best fit with their wide-open terraces, private pools and swinging chairs, while adults that like their own playground get the choice of an adults-only wing. But with the temptation to be fully tended to, the AMARA Suite comes out on top, with a butler, private chef and drinks mixologist available on request.

Yet, while the atmosphere here is one that’s carefully curated, it’s important to remind that it’s always in keeping with the buzz of what’s happening close by. This means that the variety of restaurants and bars will gladly please all foodies, with a special chance to tuck into Nobu’s coveted bucket-list worthy dishes (being the only one on Cyprus’ isles); Locatelli’s Michelin-starred Italian; and a taste of local seafood by the sea. And, for those days when energies have just about topped up, there’s a chance to peruse Limassol’s ancient Greek and Roman ruins and it’s elegant marina.
