Annabelle

Paphos Resort | Cyprus

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 
Set in six acres of lush, landscaped gardens that tumble down to the seafront promenade, Annabelle is one of Paphos’ true grand dames. Classic Mediterranean styling, serene pools and polished service meet contemporary touches like the rooftop Ouranos pool and spa. With a beachfront setting, refined dining, and four superb golf courses within a 30‑minute drive, this is an indulgent Cypriot escape that works equally well for couples and style‑seeking families.

Terracotta roofs, arcaded walkways and palm‑framed pools set the scene at Annabelle, a Paphos icon with a front‑row seat to the Mediterranean. Wander through hidden pathways in the gardens, pause at the swim‑up bar, or head to the rooftop Ouranos terrace for cocktails with horizon‑wide sea views. Inside, light‑filled rooms and suites blend classic décor with modern comforts, many with sea‑facing balconies, gardens or private plunge pools.

For couples and families seeking Cyprus’s charm with everything on your doorstep, Annabelle delivers the perfect balance. It’s around 30 minutes from Paphos (PFO) airport. See more Cyprus holidays.

Fontana – main buffet venue for leisurely international breakfasts with live cooking stations and plenty of choice for all ages.

Smart resort wear is expected in most venues (no beachwear at dinner; long trousers for gentlemen in several restaurants). Restaurant openings can vary by season and occupancy and reservations or supplements may apply depending on your board basis.

Pool Areas and Beach

Two freshwater outdoor pools weave through the gardens, fringed by palms, stonework and sun terraces with loungers and parasols. One features a characterful grotto style with bridges and waterfalls, giving the hotel a real resort feel, while quiet corners are easy to find if you prefer a more tranquil swim.

Up above, the indoor freshwater rooftop pool sits beside the Ouranos spa, ideal for breezier winter days or an early‑morning dip with a view. Pool towels are complimentary.

Down at the water’s edge you can stroll straight onto the seafront promenade and nearby beach areas, or take to the sea with local watersports – from canoeing and kayaking to motorised options, scuba diving and snorkelling (operated by an external company; seasonal, charges apply, and generally from 16yrs+).
