THE HOTEL
On the unspoilt northwest coast of Cyprus, alongside the little town of Polis and the charming fishing village of Latsi, the Anassa recreates the relaxed mood of an island village. Tumbling down a secluded hillside towards the blue of the sea, the Anassa's whitewashed walls mark it out as an archetype of Mediterranean design.

Inside the rooms and suites are cool elegance - white, clean lines punctuated by well-chosen furniture and accessories. Children are catered for by the Smiling Dolphin's Club or crèche, whilst the Baby Go Lightly service ensures all the babycare essentials are available on arrival. The Hercules Teens Club offers a fantastic array of activities for teenagers - from sailing, tennis and scuba diving to movie nights, cooking lessons and snorkelling.

Away from the resort, the surrounding area abounds with sights and sounds - take a jeep safari into the dazzling Akamas peninsula or a wine-tasting excursion to the Byzantine monastery of Chrysorroyiatissa.

The sister property to the Almyra, the Anassa is not only ideal for couples, but also for families who are looking for a relaxed golden sand beach holiday with masses to do in the surrounding area.

Clustered white villas, set beneath terracotta tiled roofs, are linked by pathways that meander through shaded landscaped gardens of olive, eucalyptus and carob trees. Studio Suites are located in the main building and the Garden Studio Suites in residences within the gardens. Interconnecting rooms are available. Why not upgrade to a Suite and benefit from your own plunge pool or outdoor whirlpool the perfect place to relax after a day on the beach.
