Location
Grecian Bay Hotel claims one of Ayia Napa’s most coveted spots, right on a Blue Flag beach yet about 1km from the energetic resort centre. The hotel’s gardens and pool terrace gently slope towards the shore, so you can wander from sunbed to sea in a couple of minutes.
Ayia Napa’s harbour, monastery and buzzing bar scene are within easy reach, but the hotel itself feels calm and self-contained – ideal if you like the option of nights out without sacrificing a peaceful base. Nearby Cape Greco National Forest Park adds coastal walking trails, sea caves and viewpoints for easy day trips.

Facilities and Rooms | Grecian Bay Hotel
Restaurants and Bars
From lazy buffet breakfasts by the pool to fine dining and beachfront grills, Grecian Bay Hotel offers a surprisingly broad choice for a single resort. Smart-casual dress is expected in most venues, and reservations or supplements can vary depending on your board basis and the season.
Aurora Café Restaurant
Poolside buffet and à la carte venue serving international dishes for breakfast, lunch and daytime snacks. Highchairs and a dedicated kids’ menu make family mealtimes easy. The atmosphere is relaxed but beachwear is discouraged inside.
Esperia Restaurant
The main dinner restaurant, blending buffet and à la carte service with a focus on Mediterranean and international flavours. Expect themed evenings and a more elegant dress code – gents are usually asked to wear long trousers and beachwear isn’t permitted.
Fisherman’s Hut
A beachfront Cypriot taverna-style restaurant (seasonal, roughly May–October) specialising in fresh fish and local dishes at lunch and dinner. Perfect for sunsets with a sea breeze.
Grill Bar
Casual à la carte lunch spot by the pool (seasonal, May–October) with grilled meats, salads and light bites, ideal between swims.
Restaurant D’or
An elegant à la carte restaurant for refined international dinners and special occasions, with an emphasis on attentive service and presentation.
Beach Bar & Cork Bar
The Beach Bar covers daytime refreshments by the water from mid-morning to early evening, while Cork Bar is the atmospheric piano bar open late into the night for cocktails, live music and a more grown-up vibe.
Please note: opening dates, times, reservation policies and what’s included for each board basis can change; check locally for current details.
What All Inclusive typically includes.
Pool Areas and Beach
The heart of the resort is a large, freeform freshwater pool framed by lawns, palm trees and sea views. A shallow children’s section keeps younger guests close by, while the main pool has plenty of space for laps or simply drifting between lounger and water. Sunbeds, parasols and complimentary pool towels are provided, and there are baby-changing facilities near the pool area.
For cooler days or a quieter swim, head to the indoor freshwater pool, located within the health club. It includes a whirlpool area and is usually heated from November to April, making Grecian Bay a solid shoulder-season choice.
Just beyond the gardens you’ll find the hotel’s sandy beachfront – part of one of Ayia Napa’s spotless Blue Flag bays. The water here tends to be clear and gently shelving, great for paddling or longer swims. Local operators along the bay offer typical beach watersports in season (independently run, charges apply).

Wellness and activity fans are well catered for:
Health Club & Spa

The spa area features a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, plus a menu of massages and beauty treatments (charges apply, spa access and some facilities may have a minimum age, usually 12+).
