Following an extensive two-year renovation of the Paphos Beach Hotel, the town’s first ever seaside hotel which first opened in 1972, Thanos Hotels launched Almyra in March 2003. The rooms have been enlarged and redesigned, and the signature suites, aptly named Kyma Suites, meaning ‘wave’ in Greek, feature rooftop terraces offering breathtaking views of the sea and the harbour, which are candle-lit at night. The property’s two freshwater pools were rebuilt to include one especially for children and the four restaurants reflect the new philosophy of Almyra. The executive chef of the gastronomic restaurants has introduced a new creative Japanese-Mediterranean fusion menu.
Families are an integral part of Almyra’s contemporary seaside resort philosophy. The hotel boasts a dedicated children's club with extensive facilities and special children's menus. Almyra's Baby Go Lightly service offers parents the opportunity to order every manner of baby item on-line in advance of traveling, saving plenty of space in their suitcase. Almyra’s location means that guests have the advantage of being close to the sea, while also being within walking distance of the shops, castle, the house of Dionysos with its unparalleled Roman mosaics, three golf courses and many other attractions in and around the Pafos area. Almyra is set within eight acres of landscaped gardens right on the harbour front.
