Map & location
Protaras, Cyprus
Golden Coast Beach Hotel enjoys a prime spot on the edge of Protaras, in eastern Cyprus. The hotel fronts a sandy beach and a charming little marina, ideal for strolls by the water and boat trips along the coast.
You’re in a quieter pocket of the resort, but within a 250m walk you’ll find local shops, bars and restaurants. When you fancy more buzz, Protaras’ lively strip and famous Fig Tree Bay are around 3.5km away, while Ayia Napa’s nightlife and waterpark are an easy day trip.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Outside, you’ll find two main freshwater pools plus a separate children’s pool, all framed by sunbathing terraces with loungers and parasols. There’s a dedicated children’s pool with slides and a shallow section, ideal for splash-about days. Inflatables and water toys are permitted, and there are baby-changing facilities nearby.
For a change of pace, head indoors to the heated indoor pool (heated in April), located within the spa centre – a handy option for early- or late-season stays.
The real star is the sandy beach directly in front of the hotel. You can stroll straight from the pool terrace to the shore for swimming, paddling and watersports, or simply sit back and enjoy the marina views from the beachfront bar.
Spa, sports & wellness
Active types are well catered for: there’s an air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, a free-weights area, fixed strength equipment and a stretching zone (16+, 09:00–20:00). Organised activities include aerobics, aqua aerobics, yoga, dance classes, table tennis, darts, football and more. Cycle fans can hire bikes locally and make use of dedicated cycle services (extra charge).
Down on the water, an external company runs a selection of watersports (usually 18+, extra charge), from canoes and pedalos to kayaking, motorised watersports, snorkelling, scuba diving and giant inflatables.
At the spa, you can unwind in the sauna and steam room or book in for massage and beauty treatments, plus there’s an on-site hairdresser (all at extra cost; opening hours may vary).
Practical extras include a mini-market, concierge and currency exchange, and a reception desk where you can hire wheelchairs, pushchairs and mobility scooters, as well as charge scooters (local charges apply).
