Amara enjoys a privileged beachfront perch in the upscale Amathus area of Limassol – a stretch known for its historic archaeological site, golden sands and smart seafront hotels. From here, you can wander straight out onto the promenade and beach, or head around 300m inland for local shops, cafés and bars.

Limassol itself blends old-town character with cosmopolitan buzz: think a pretty marina, medieval castle, pavement tavernas and designer boutiques all within easy reach. Amara keeps you just far enough from the centre (around 10km) to feel peaceful, yet close enough for easy evenings out in the city.

Limassol (Amathus), Cyprus

Amara is a true gastronomic destination, with five à la carte restaurants and four stylish bars ensuring every meal feels special.

Beefbar
An upscale, design-forward restaurant serving premium cuts and contemporary international dishes for dinner, with live show cooking. Expect a chic, buzzy atmosphere and a menu that goes far beyond classic steakhouse fare. Highchairs and children’s menus are available, and the dress code is smart (no beachwear).

Breakfast Room – All Day Dining
The hotel’s all-day dining space handles breakfast with a generous spread of international and Cypriot options plus show cooking. The relaxed, airy setting makes mornings a pleasure, with highchairs and a microwave for family convenience.

Matsuhisa Limassol
The Nobu brand’s signature Japanese fusion comes to Limassol here, bringing dishes like black cod miso and inventive sushi in an elegant sea-view setting. It’s open for dinner only, has a smart dress code (long trousers requested for gentlemen) and offers a kids’ menu for budding foodies.

Nerea
A refined Greek restaurant focused on fresh local produce, seafood and classic Cypriot flavours, open for lunch and dinner. With sea views and a relaxed but polished atmosphere, it’s ideal for a long, lazy lunch or romantic evening meal.

Ristorante Locatelli
Serving Italian cuisine created in partnership with acclaimed chef Giorgio Locatelli, this intimate dinner venue delights with wood-fired favourites, handmade pasta and an excellent wine list. Long trousers requested for gentlemen.

Bars
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to drinks: a bright lobby bar for morning coffee or aperitifs (09:00–00:00), a stylish lounge bar that stays open late (17:00–01:00, hours may vary by occupancy), a relaxed pool bar serving refreshments by the water (seasonal, typically 10:00–19:00), and a sophisticated adults-only rooftop cocktail bar with sweeping sea views – perfect for sundowners. Beachwear is not permitted in the indoor and rooftop venues.

Restaurant opening times, reservations and supplements can change by season and board basis; always check the latest details in resort.

The hotel’s pools are designed as much for eye-catching looks as for leisurely lounging.

• Main outdoor infinity pool – a freshwater pool with a children’s section, stretching towards the sea with an expansive sunbathing terrace, sunbeds and parasols. Baby-changing facilities are available nearby, and complimentary pool towels are provided.
• Adults-only outdoor saltwater pool – located at the spa centre, this tranquil pool area has hammocks and a quieter ambience, ideal for couples seeking serenity.
• Indoor freshwater pool – an adult-only heated pool in the spa, typically heated from 1 November to 31 March, offering a calm spot for year-round laps or relaxation.

From the pool deck it’s just a short stroll to the beach, where Golden Mediterranean sands and gently shelving waters await, making it easy to flip between poolside chic and barefoot beach time.
