The Royal Apollonia

Cyprus’ exciting capital Limassol mixes great beaches with a sophisticated Mediterranean metropolis, and the five-star Royal Apollonia puts its guests in just the right place to discover both in luxurious style.

The Royal Apollonia has a seafront location with an infinity-style pool, blending with the sparkling waters of the Mediterranean beyond. As you’d expect in a five-star hotel, you can enjoy a huge range of services, facilities and extras at this stylist, modern building that’s benefitted from a recent refurb.

There are 204 rooms and suites to choose from, all with Wi-Fi, satellite TV, and their own balcony or terrace. Rooms for those with mobility problems are also available. Dining in The Royal Apollonia is all about choice. Cyprus has a great cuisine of its own, and you can explore those at the hotel’s Greek restaurant. But there are also a Japanese and an international buffet restaurant. Men are required to wear long trousers for dinner at the international buffet restaurant.

There are 3 pools – 1 indoor, 1 outdoor, 1 children's pool – and if the natural health-giving properties of the sun aren’t enough for you, then head into The Royal Apollonia’s spa. There you’ll find a big range of the latest health and beauty treatments in seven treatment rooms, with a steam room and sauna to finish your experience.

This area of Cyprus is famous for its water sports – particularly diving – but if you want to enjoy some sporting action without leaving the hotel complex, then book a session on a pair of floodlit tennis courts. Kids can let off steam in their own activity club.

For a change from beach life, head inland. The Troodos Mountains are a fantastic part of any Cyprus experience. To the timeless attractions of traditional mountain villages and historic monasteries – and their delicious produce – have been added some excellent hiking and adventure attractions, all against an awesome natural backdrop. Cyprus is a familiar destination to many British holiday makers, but the new-look Royal Apollonia Hotel – available at wonderful prices through loveholidays – might give you a wonderful new perspective on this island of discoveries.
