Avanti Holiday Village
Paphos Resort | Cyprus
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Avanti Holiday Village is a low-rise, village-style aparthotel that gets family holidays in Paphos exactly right. Think a huge lagoon-style pool with mini lazy river, a proper swim-up bar, green gardens bursting with hibiscus, and spacious one-bedroom apartments that feel more like little homes than hotel rooms. The beach and Paphos promenade are just a short stroll away, while mini-discos, karaoke and family entertainment keep the fun flowing long after the sun’s gone down.
Life at Avanti Holiday Village revolves around the water. There’s a vast free-form pool with bridges, islands and a mini lazy river, backed by palms and bougainvillea, plus an indoor pool for cooler days. Families spread out between 244 one‑bedroom apartments, arranged in pastel-hued blocks around the gardens, so it feels more like a Cypriot village than a standard hotel. Add a children’s club, playground, spa, gym and a sociable taverna with swim-up bar and you’ve got everything you need for an easy-going Paphos escape.
For families and friends who want Cyprus’s sunshine and history with maximum pool time, Avanti Holiday Village delivers a superb balance of space, facilities and location. The apartments make self-catering simple, while the village-style layout and gardens keep things relaxed. It’s around 35 minutes from Paphos Airport, with the beach, shops and waterfront promenade just a short walk away. See more Cyprus holidays.

Restaurants and Bars
The heart of the resort is the poolside taverna, serving a mix of international favourites, Greek classics and local Cypriot dishes for breakfast, lunch and snacks. You can graze on grilled meats, salads and mezze without straying far from your lounger, or opt for Bed & Breakfast and self-cater the rest in your apartment.
Evenings are relaxed and sociable, with a lobby bar open into the night for cocktails and long drinks, and a fun swim-up pool bar by day. Expect a broad choice of local, international and some premium-brand drinks (supplements may apply depending on selection and board).
Smart-casual dress codes may apply in the restaurant, especially at dinner. Reservations or supplements can vary by season and board basis; details are confirmed locally and may change from previous seasons.

Sunbeds and parasols spread across generous terraces and lawns, and complimentary pool towels are provided, so you can travel lighter. On cooler days or for a quieter swim, there’s a handy indoor freshwater pool too.
