Map & location
Protaras, Cyprus (Larnaca Airport), Cyprus
Kapetanios Bay Hotel Protaras sits at the northern tip of the Protaras strip, a handy base for exploring this much-loved corner of eastern Cyprus. You’re a short walk from the resort centre with its bars, restaurants and shops, while the nearest beach is just 500m away. Fig Tree Bay – one of the island’s most photogenic stretches of sand – is around 1.1km along the coast, easily reached on foot or by local bus.
Protaras itself is a relaxed, family-friendly resort with silky sands, sheltered coves and a lively main street. It’s also close enough to Ayia Napa if you fancy a night out with a different energy.

Facilities
Pool & outdoors
Outside, two freshwater pools provide an easy-going suntrap. The main pool has a spacious sun terrace with loungers and parasols, while younger guests get their own shallow children’s pool alongside. Towels are available for a local charge, and facilities can vary slightly between pools.
When you’re ready to swap pool for sea, it’s a short stroll to the nearest sandy beach, with calm, clear waters that are typically great for swimming. Fig Tree Bay – often highlighted as one of Cyprus’s best beaches – is just over a kilometre away along the shoreline, with soft sand, water sports and a postcard-worthy setting.
Spa, sports & wellness
This is a straightforward, great-value hotel where the focus is on relaxing by the pool and exploring Protaras. There’s no on-site spa or extensive sports complex, but you can expect:
– Simple outdoor pool areas with sunbeds and parasols
– Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
– Reception with currency exchange and luggage storage
– Equipment hire including pushchair* and wheelchair* (local charges apply)
For extra activities – from boat trips to water sports and coastal walks – the resort’s many local operators and beachfront hubs have plenty on offer.
Activities
While Kapetanios Bay Hotel Protaras keeps things low-key on site, you’re perfectly placed for:
– Relaxed days by the pool with occasional light entertainment (seasonal, programme can vary)
– Strolling to the beach for swimming and sunbathing
– Exploring Protaras’ main strip with its bars, cafés and live-music venues
– Joining local excursions to nearby towns, viewpoints and coastal trails
Organised daytime sports and evening shows may be limited or seasonal, so think of this as a simple, comfortable base rather than a full-scale activity resort.

Food & drink
Captain’s Table Restaurant is the main hub, serving a mix of international favourites and Cypriot classics at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect buffet-style spreads with some à la carte options, plus a kids’ menu and highchairs for families. Beachwear is discouraged at mealtimes, and smart-casual is appreciated in the evenings.
Between meals, you’re covered by Ahoy Pool Bar for cold drinks and cocktails by the water, and the Deck All Day Cafeteria – part coffee bar, part laid-back lounge, ideal for snacks or a mid-morning pick-me-up. Opening hours, reservations and any supplements may vary with season and board, so check onsite for the latest details.
