Dining is a standout at Columbia Beach Resort, with an emphasis on local flavours, seasonal ingredients and elegant settings.

Apollo Restaurant
A relaxed à la carte spot on the terrace showcasing Greek and Cypriot dishes at lunch, with favourites like meze, grilled seafood and fresh salads. Highchairs and kids’ menus keep families happy.

Bacchus Restaurant
Poolside and polished, Bacchus serves Italian-influenced cuisine for breakfast and dinner, under high ceilings and stone arches. Expect à la carte dishes, attentive service and a smart dress code in the evening (no beachwear; long trousers requested for gentlemen).

Cape Aspro Restaurant
A bright, open-sided venue by the pool with buffet and à la carte options for breakfast, lunch and dinner (seasonal dates). Bay views and an easygoing vibe make it ideal for long, leisurely meals.

Bars & lounges
Sip sundowners at Apollo Ouzeri on the terrace, order coffees and signature cocktails at Eros Bar or Seven C’s Bar in the lobby, or pad from lounger to Pool Bar and Poseidon Beach Bar for drinks and light bites throughout the day (seasonal opening, hours vary with occupancy).

Smart resort-wear is generally encouraged in the evening and reservations are recommended in peak season. Supplements may apply depending on your chosen board basis. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The heart of the resort is its long, lagoon-style freshwater infinity pool, mirroring the curve of Pissouri Bay. It’s lined with sunbeds and parasols and framed by stone colonnades and palms – a picturesque spot for lazy days.

Little ones have their own freshwater children’s pool close by, with baby-changing facilities and space for inflatables and water toys.

Step beyond the pool and you’re straight onto the Blue Flag bay itself, where the pebbly-sand shore shelves into clear water. From here you can join watersports including canoes, pedalos, giant inflatables and motorised options, run by an external provider and payable locally.

Fresh pool towels are complimentary, and facilities may vary between pool areas and seasonally.

Wellbeing is taken seriously at Hebe Spa, a serene retreat with sauna, steam room, whirlpool and a wide menu of massages and beauty rituals (charges apply; typically 16+). An on-site hairdresser is ideal before special dinners or weddings.

The air-conditioned gym offers cardio machines, fixed strength equipment and free weights (minimum age usually 18), while an activity programme might include aerobics, aqua aerobics, pilates, yoga, football, squash, table tennis and tennis. Bike hire and cycle services are available for exploring the coast and countryside.

Day into evening, there’s a gentle entertainment programme with occasional daytime activities and live music – enough to add atmosphere without overpowering the resort’s relaxed, upscale feel.

All accommodation at Columbia Beach Resort is suite-style, blending traditional stone, wooden beams and cool tiled floors with modern comforts. Many open to balconies or terraces looking over gardens, pools or the bay.
