Asterias Beach Hotel sits right on the sands of Nissi Bay, on the quieter fringe of Ayia Napa. On one side you have the protected St Nikandros Forest nature reserve, on the other a turquoise bay that looks straight out of a postcard.

From here you can enjoy beach walks, watersports and toes-in-the-sand sundowners, while Ayia Napa’s harbour, bars and nightlife are just a short taxi ride away. It’s a strong choice if you want a more tranquil base without giving up access to the resort’s energy and dining options.

All Inclusive at Asterias Beach Hotel revolves around generous buffets, live cooking and long, lazy meals with a sea breeze.

Ammochostos Main Restaurant is the buffet heart of the hotel, serving a wide range of international favourites alongside Italian, Chinese, Mexican, Japanese, Greek, Indian and local Cypriot dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect show-cooking stations at all main meals, plus children’s menus, a kids’ buffet and highchairs. Gentle dress code applies (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen in the evenings).

By the pool, Golden Sands Pool Restaurant offers à la carte lunches with international and local classics – ideal when you don’t want to stray far from your lounger. Down by the sand, Koralli Seafood Restaurant (seasonal, typically mid‑May to end October) serves fresh fish and seafood for lunch and dinner with a front-row seat to the sea.

There’s a great choice of bars:
• Aphrodite Pool Bar – daytime drinks by the main pool (seasonal)
• Cocktail Bar Chrisi Akti – relaxed spot for aperitifs and after-dinner cocktails
• Golden Sands Pool Bar – poolside drinks and snacks
• Levels Beach Bar – stylish bar right on the sand (not part of the All Inclusive package)
• Panorama Rooftop Bar – elevated views over Nissi Bay, perfect at sunset

Reservations and supplements may apply for à la carte venues and certain drinks depending on your board set-up, and operations can vary by season. What All Inclusive typically includes.

With three outdoor pools plus a heated indoor pool, you can mix up your swim spots throughout your stay.

The main outdoor freshwater pools come with spacious sunbathing terraces, sunbeds and parasols for long, lazy days. There’s also a dedicated children’s pool so younger guests can splash safely, with water toys permitted.

Indoors, the spa’s freshwater pool is heated in spring (from early April to late May) and again in late autumn (typically late October to end November) – ideal if you’re travelling at the cooler ends of the season. Fresh pool towels are included, so that’s one less thing in your suitcase.

Step beyond the terrace and you’re straight onto a wide sandy beach with clear, shallow water that’s perfect for swimming, paddling and watersports organised locally. It’s this direct access to the bay that really makes Asterias stand out in Nissi.

Wellness-wise, the hotel’s spa features a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, together with a menu of massages and beauty treatments, plus an on-site hairdresser (all at extra charge; minimum age 18 years for spa facilities).

The air-conditioned gym is kitted out with cardio machines, a free-weights area and a stretching zone (typically open 09:00–19:00; 18+), while a full programme of activities runs through the day – think aerobics, aqua aerobics, basketball, football, darts, table tennis, tennis, trampolining and yoga. Some sports may carry a local charge.

There’s daily daytime and evening entertainment from roughly April through November, including quizzes, small team games, team sports, water-based activities, live music, in-house shows, bingo and a kids’ mini-disco.

Practical touches include a 24-hour reception with currency exchange and luggage storage, a handy on-site mini-market, and equipment hire such as wheelchairs and bottle warmers (local charges apply).
