All inclusive Holidays in Cyprus: where they shine (and how to DIY them)

The good news is that Cyprus does all inclusive well. Big beach resorts. Smart city hotels. Family fun. You just need to pick the right bay.

With well-known accommodations in places like Ayia Napa, Paphos, and Protaras, all-inclusive holidays in Cyprus offer packages for flights, hotel, food, and drinks. We have a choice of packages, from bargains to 5-star luxury resorts. The Olympic Lagoon Resorts in Paphos and Ayia Napa and the TUI BLUE Sensatori Atlantica Aphrodite Hills are two well-known resorts.

Here is how to nail it.

Best areas for value all inclusive

Ayia Napa & Nissi Bay – the island’s all inclusive powerhouse. Think lagoon-style pools, branded drinks, kids clubs and evening shows. Olympic Lagoon Resort is the star, with seven pools and multiple restaurants on an ‘all-included’ plan. WaterWorld Waterpark is pretty close for a big day out.

Protaras & Fig Tree Bay – calmer seas and family energy. You will find premium all inclusive at Louis St. Elias Resort & Waterpark, set above the coast with slides and roomy suites. Great for younger families who want beach time by day and quiet nights.

Paphos & Coral Bay – couples and history lovers. Go for Olympic Lagoon Paphos or Louis Paphos Breeze for sea views, pools and strong all inclusive dining. Paphos Aphrodite Waterpark adds extra fun when you fancy it.

Limassol – chic city-beach vibe. all inclusive exists but is less common; many hotels lean Half Board. It suits foodies who like to dine out on the promenade.

Beach-badge bonus: Ayia Napa boasts a long run of Blue Flag beaches, including Nissi and Makronissos. Sands are soft, waters clear and facilities are strong.

 

When to go for the sweet spot

Shoulder months win. Aim for May-June or September-October. Days are warm, seas inviting and prices easier than peak August.
