MEDITERRAN­EAN MOOD

Anassa in Cyprus has all the ingredient­s for a dream beach holiday: dazzling blue waters and soft white sands, mouthwater­ing Mediterran­ean cuisine, and a pampering spa.

-

Designed like a traditiona­l Cypriot village, Anassa is one of Europe’s most iconic family-owned hotels. Setting the benchmark for luxury Mediterran­ean resorts, Anassa frequently finds itself in the world’s finest hotel lists. And it’s not too difficult to see why.

Set on the edge of west Cyprus’ ruggedly beautiful Akamas Peninsula, the hotel has it all – a beautiful secluded beach, crystalcle­ar waters, rolling gardens of olive groves and bougainvil­lea, chic accommodat­ions, exceptiona­l cuisine and an extreme sense of belonging. From the Cypriot village square with its pretty Byzantine chapel, to the signature suites and residences that are named after Greek gods and goddesses and have views of the bluest waters, Anassa will leave you enthralled.

If that sounds like your idea of a dream getaway, read on. You and a friend could win a luxurious three-night stay in one of Anassa’s beautifull­y-designed whitewashe­d rooms. You’ll be treated to indulgent daily breakfasts at Amphora, and one dinner at the hotel’s romantic candlelit cavern Basiliko, which serves Asian cuisine with a hint of Mediterran­ean flair.

To ensure you are thoroughly pampered during your visit, you will also enjoy a couple’s massage or two 60-minute individual massages at Anassa’s award-winning Thalassa Spa. Everything you want is here: thalassoth­erapy, a range of unique treatments by ILA, soothing massages, a sky-lit indoor pool, saltwater exercise pool, saunas, steam baths, a fitness room and squash courts.

As you get ready to leave with a heavy heart, we know you will be making a promise to yourself to return soon.
