Lara Beach (Akamas Peninsula)

For a true taste of unspoilt natural beauty, Lara Beach is hard to beat. Tucked away on the northwestern coast of Cyprus within the Akamas Peninsula National Park, it is a haven for anyone seeking complete tranquillity. Its remote location brings peace and seclusion, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the natural surroundings and simply unwind. With no facilities on site, make sure to pack your own picnic to enjoy amid the mesmerising scenery, and always carry out your rubbish to help preserve this serene slice of paradise.

Lara Beach is also world-famous as a nesting site for endangered turtles. Visit during nesting season, from May to August, and you could witness conservation efforts first hand – and if luck is on your side, even spot turtles laying their eggs or tiny hatchlings making their journey to the sea.

Blue Lagoon (Akamas Peninsula)

If there is one beach you must visit on your Cyprus villa holiday, it’s the wondrous Blue Lagoon. Picture crystal clear turquoise waters lapping the shore, refreshing dips in the warm sea, and snorkelling among vibrant marine life. Best reached by boat, this pristine oasis is a photogenic haven where you can spend the day in deep blue paradise. And if you’re not in a hurry, a sunset here is truly extraordinary. Linger a little longer for a romantic moment or put your photography skills to the test and capture golden shots as the sun dips beneath the horizon. Don’t forget to tag #Mysolmarvilla, we’ll be pretending we’re there with you!

 Fig Tree Bay (Protaras)

For our tiniest travellers and beaches perfect for all the family to enjoy, Fig Tree Bay holds a well-deserved spot as one of Cyprus’ best beaches. With clear shallow waters that are ideal for little paddles and gorgeous golden sands for settling in for the day, this spot ticks every box for a perfect family day out. For any big kids, there is plenty to keep you busy with a great choice of water sports, including wakeboarding, jet skiing and even the old classic pedal boats (you can never go wrong with a pedal boat!)

Lined with delicious family friendly restaurants, you will not have to wander far to find snack time ice creams, a midday Mediterranean bite or even a quick dinner on the seafront before heading home. By this point you will hopefully be tanned, refreshed and the little ones will be happily tuckered out, a job well done if you ask us.

Coral Bay (Paphos)

From your Coral Bay villa, you’ll no doubt come across the ever-buzzing Coral Bay Beach, a top choice for your seaside outings.

This Blue Flag beach is not only home to inviting sunbeds made for unwinding and wonderful waters ideal for swimming, but also hosts exceptional seafood restaurants, quirky shops and a few market stalls full of local trinkets and handmade souvenirs. It’s the perfect mix of spots to explore, so when the little ones start to get restless, you can wander, snack or browse to your heart’s content!

Nissi Beach 

Add a lively vibe to your beach days with a visit to Nissi Beach, one of Cyprus’ most beautiful beach spots. Picture white sands, bright turquoise waters sparkling in the sun, and a bustling scene of bars serving up your favourite cocktails, with DJs spinning the soundtrack to summer. With the vibes high, Aperols flowing, and stunning views of the Mediterranean behind you, what could be better? And if the explorer in you is itching to wander a little further from the bars, the warm shallow waters along the beachfront lead to a charming little islet, a delightful thing to do during your Nissi Beach day.

Makronissos Beach

On your hunt for Cyprus’ best beaches, pack your beach bag essentials and head to Makronissos Beach, where golden sands and a gentler pace of life await compared with its lively neighbour, Nissi.

Sun beds line the beachfront and shaded parasols offer a cool retreat for anyone needing a break from the sun, making this the perfect beach for unwinding, stretching out and letting your worries drift away. 

Aphrodite’s Rock (Petra tou Romiou, near Paphos)

We could not put together a list of Cyprus’ most beautiful beaches without including the iconic Aphrodite’s Rock, known as the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite. Stroll down along the shore to the same waters where the goddess of love is said to have emerged and discover the ancient myth woven into Cyprus’ rich heritage. Although the shores here can be a little rocky, it’s the perfect spot for capturing dreamy travel photos, watching the sunset and enjoying a romantic picnic as you take in this enchanting landmark.

Konnos Bay (near Cape Greco)

This crescent shaped bay has no doubt got the wow factor among Cyprus’ best beaches, enveloped by rocky clifftops and verdant pine trees, it’s a photogenic dream from every angle. Experience a blissful beach day where snorkelling and frequent dips in dreamy azure waters fulfil exactly what you’re craving. With sail boats slowly passing by as you soak up the warm sun, it's completely idyllic, picturesque and a must visit for those lazy beach days.

Governor’s Beach (Limassol/Larnaca)

For those who get a case of restless legs, Governor’s Beach is one of Cyprus’ best beaches to visit while on your Cypriot travels, especially if you’re staying in our Larnaca villas. Bursting with snorkelling opportunities, dive below the white rocks and discover the underworld, swimming among colourful fishes, fascinating corals and on occasion sea turtles! After all that fun, satisfy your appetite at nearby tavernas serving delicious Cypriot food – one bucket of tzatziki with warm pita, please!

Lady’s Mile Beach (Limassol)

Despite the name, you won’t be trekking a mile to reach this stunning stretch of sand.

With more water sports than you can shake a stick at, it’s perfect for keeping your feet (and energy) moving! Whether you want to try windsurfing or paddleboarding for the first time, or you’re already a seasoned pro at kayaking and parasailing, this is the beach to let loose and feel the sea breeze in your hair.

Pissouri Beach (west of Limassol)

A good beach to visit in Cyprus includes the well-known scenic favourites and the adventure packed stretches, but why not try something new on your Cypriot adventures and slip away from the usual path to uncover quieter, more unique beaches that will have everyone asking where did you find this. Pissouri Beach is a fabulous pick as you explore Cyprus' best beaches. Enjoy the calm you deserve at this serene spot and feel like a local for the day, happily soaking up the quieter atmosphere and the wholesome pebbled beachfront.

Malama Beach, Landa Beach & Firemans Beach

Rest, rejuvenation and relaxation are exactly what Malama Beach, Landa Beach and Firemans Beach are all about, so simply take your pick. Perfect for days spent unwinding, getting lost in a good book and tucking into watermelon slices, beach sandwiches and a whole packet of Lays to yourself (why not, you are on holiday), each spot offers stunning scenery, its own little quirks and gorgeous waters for a gentle paddle. Together they create the ideal line up when you are craving pure tranquillity.
