St Raphael Resort occupies a prime stretch of Limassol’s eastern coastline, fronting a wide sandy bay with calm, swimmable waters and its own marina backdrop. You’re in the Limassol – Paphos area, so it’s easy to mix laid-back beach days with city-style evenings, wine routes and historic sights.

Limassol itself is Cyprus’ most cosmopolitan city-resort: think Blue Flag beaches, a palm-lined promenade, designer boutiques and a characterful old quarter threaded with tavernas and cafés. From the hotel it’s a straightforward journey into Limassol Old Town for castle visits, marina strolls and dinner on the waterfront.

Beach: beachfront (direct access)
Nearest shops, bars & restaurants: approx. 200m

Dining is a real strong suit at St Raphael Resort, with a generous line-up of seven restaurants and two bars so you can mix Cypriot flavours with global favourites throughout your stay.

The Octagon buffet restaurant covers relaxed breakfasts and lunches with live-cooking stations, kids’ options and a casual, light-filled setting. In the evening, head to Palladium for buffet dinners with international and local dishes, plus a dedicated kids’ buffet on selected nights.

For special evenings, book into one of the à la carte venues (seasonal and subject to reservation):
– Alakati Restaurant – Cypriot and local specialities in a charming courtyard-style setting (dinner).
– Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant – Pizza, pasta and Italian classics (dinner).
– Golden Monkey Thai Restaurant – Thai favourites with a modern twist (dinner; smart-casual dress, no beachwear).
– Seashells Healthy Living – Beachfront lunches with lighter bites and healthy options (seasonal).
– Splash Pool Side Restaurant & Bar – Poolside lunches and snacks with a kids’ menu (seasonal).

Thirsty? Order colourful cocktails at Amphibion Wet, the swim-up bar, or unwind at Captain’s Bar, the piano bar with light bites and live music on selected evenings.

All Inclusive and All Inclusive Plus guests benefit from set inclusions and dine-around options, with some à la carte visits included per week; supplements, dress codes and reservation requirements may apply, and offerings can vary by season.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

Outside, the resort unfolds around four outdoor freshwater pools, including two dedicated children’s pools and a family-friendly main pool with a children’s section. There’s also a fun outdoor pool with slides and shallow zones for little splash-lovers, plus plenty of sunbeds, parasols and handy baby-changing facilities.

For a quieter moment or off-season swim, slip into the heated indoor freshwater pool at the spa, where inflatables are permitted during family-friendly sessions.

The real star of the show is the beachfront: a long sandy bay edging the marina, with warm, shallow water that’s ideal for families. A local watersports centre (external operator) offers canoeing, pedalos, snorkelling, windsurfing and more, with some activities complimentary for All Inclusive guests and others at extra charge. Inflatables and water toys are generally permitted in the designated areas, and pool towels are provided free of charge.

The Serenity Spa is your go-to for downtime, featuring a sauna, steam room, whirlpool and heated indoor pool, alongside a menu of massages, facials and body treatments (16+, charges apply). There’s also an on-site hairdresser and beauty salon for pre-dinner pampering.

Active guests can make the most of the air-conditioned gym with cardio machines, free weights and strength equipment, or join in with activities such as aqua aerobics, badminton, darts, paddle, table tennis, tennis, volleyball and yoga (some may carry a local fee or be seasonal). Cyclists are catered for too, with bike storage and cleaning facilities.

Entertainment is lively but family-friendly: from May to October expect daily daytime activities (arts and crafts, games, sports and water-based fun) and evening shows with live music, DJs, quizzes and mini-discos. In winter, the pace softens with occasional daytime and evening entertainment.
