The Mediterranean island of Cyprus serves up a cocktail of history and hedonism. What could be better? Luxurious hotels sit comfortably with well-preserved Greek and Roman ruins, and in ancient times Cyprus was known as the "Green Island".
Cypress is also thought to be the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, so grab someone you love and find your perfect place.
For peace-seeking couples
Hotels on Cyprus offer every amenity the modern traveller has come to expect, and stunning pools, long beachfronts and state of the art health spas are the norm. For romance and relaxation, the Anassa overlooking the bay in Polis is the ultimate luxury retreat. The vibe is fresh and modern, and if you're lucky (or smart) you can get a room with a whirlpool on your balcony. If you're luckier still, you can arrive by helicopter or charter the hotel's private yacht.
For couples & young families
For a modern boutique hotel with lively atmosphere, check out the Almyra in Paphos. It is walking distance from the harbour in Paphos, which is touristy, but great for a pre-dinner drink before returning to Almyra's signature restaurant, Notios. The hotel caters to young families well - one of a growing number recognising that just because you have children you do not want to compromise on quality and service (thank goodness).
For active groups
And finally, if you are looking for an activity-filled trip with a group, the golf and tennis academy at the Intercontinental Aphrodite Hills Hotel is for you. The resort is set inland with great views of the coast and offers a wide range of facilities including an award-winning spa. On-site is a choice of bars, restaurants and even designer shops. No need to buy your partner/self a last minute present/souvenir at the airport!
