Anassa

Neo Chorio Pafou, Cyprus

Anassa channels the spirit of a Cypriot village with whitewashed architecture, lush gardens, and direct access to the Mediterranean.

Property Overview

Anassa feels like a private Mediterranean village set along one of Cyprus’ most scenic stretches of coastline. Byzantine-inspired whitewashed buildings cascade through gardens of olive trees and bougainvillea toward a secluded beach on Chrysochou Bay. The setting strikes a natural balance between privacy and a strong sense of place, with days shaped by the sea, Cypriot culture, and easy access to the Akamas Peninsula. Families, couples, and wellness-minded travelers will all find their own rhythm here.

Agent Tips

  • Join local potter Avgoustinos in Anassa’s Village Square for a hands-on introduction to Cypriot craftsmanship—and create a piece to take home.

  • Charter a private boat along the Akamas coastline to the Blue Lagoon for swimming in some of Cyprus’ clearest, most secluded waters.
Accommodations

Whitewashed rooms and suites spill down the hillside toward the Mediterranean.

Anassa’s one hundred sixty-six low-rise rooms, suites, and residences are arranged like a whitewashed Byzantine village, surrounded by flower-filled gardens that lead toward the beach. Junior Suites, higher room categories, and the full collection of villas were renovated for the 2026 season, bringing a refreshed feel to spaces that remain rooted in the resort’s Mediterranean setting.
Pool + Gym

Three distinct pool settings make it easy to follow the sun—or retreat from it.

Two outdoor pools offer different takes on a day by the water. The free-form central pool overlooks the Mediterranean and has a swim-up bar, while a quieter pool is tucked into the gardens. Inside Thalassa Spa, guests will find another peaceful option: an indoor pool designed for a slower, wellness-focused reset. Guests have access to fully equipped fitness facilities alongside tennis, padel, cycling, diving, yoga, and Pilates. Those ready to explore can head into the landscapes of the Akamas Peninsula by bike or take to the Mediterranean for diving lessons and internationally recognized certifications. Yoga and Pilates offer a gentler counterpoint for days centered on movement and restoration.
Spa

Thalassa Spa brings a distinctly Mediterranean perspective to a day of restoration.

Roman-inspired columns, sunlit courtyards, and fragrant herbs set the scene at Thalassa Spa. Facilities include an indoor pool, saunas, steam baths, a seawater exercise-jet pool, and a fitness center. Treatments incorporate products and therapies from Tata Harper, Augustinus Bader, and Subtle Energies, giving guests plenty of ways to personalize a spa day. Recognized as the number one Overseas Hotel Spa and featured among Condé Nast Traveller’s World’s Top 100 Spas, Thalassa Spa stands out as a Mediterranean retreat rooted in restorative wellness.
Restaurant + Bar

Mediterranean flavors take center stage across Anassa’s distinct dining venues.

Executive Chef David Goodridge oversees a dining lineup that moves easily between cuisines. Basiliko pairs Asian and Mediterranean influences, while Helios focuses on French-Mediterranean cooking and Pelagos highlights Cypriot dishes. Grill at Amphora rounds things out with seafood and grilled cuts. Breads, pastries, cheeses, and preserves are made in-house, while Helios, Basiliko, and Pelagos have each received Toques d’Or recognition. Anassa has three bars, each with its own setting. Meltemi serves drinks poolside, while Blue Bar puts guests right by the beach. The renovated Armonia Main Terrace Bar overlooks the Mediterranean and is the natural choice for an evening cocktail as the light changes over the water.
  • Vibe
    Relaxed, sun-soaked, and connected to its surroundings. Anassa combines the rugged landscapes of the Akamas Peninsula with the turquoise waters of Chrysochou Bay and philoxenia—the Greek tradition of generous hospitality—for a stay that feels distinctly Cypriot.
  • Who's it for?
    Anassa works particularly well for families who want plenty to do without sacrificing downtime, couples looking for privacy and time by the sea, and solo travelers drawn to wellness and a slower pace. Guests who like to pair resort time with exploration will also find plenty beyond the property, from diving and off-road adventures in the Akamas Peninsula to visits to neighboring villages and local craftspeople.
  • Location
    Anassa sits between the Akamas Peninsula and Chrysochou Bay, with its whitewashed, Byzantine-inspired buildings surrounded by olive trees, bougainvillea, and fragrant gardens. Nearby, guests can explore Neo Chorio and Drouseia, visit the fishing harbor of Latchi, or wander through Polis. Private cruises to the Blue Lagoon, hiking, cycling, diving, horseback riding, and pottery experiences offer plenty of ways to experience the region beyond the resort.
