Utopia Restaurant is the hotel’s stylish all-day hub, serving buffet and à la carte dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Expect generous Mediterranean and international favourites, live show-cooking stations at breakfast and dinner, and thoughtful touches like highchairs and microwaves for families. Beachwear is kindly discouraged at mealtimes to keep the atmosphere refined.

For drinks, the contemporary Aroma Bar in the lobby opens late afternoon into the evening for cocktails, aperitifs and nightcaps, while Euphoria Pool Bar keeps you topped up with cold beers, coffees and long drinks between dips.

On All Inclusive Plus, you’ll enjoy buffet breakfast and dinner in Utopia, à la carte lunch, snacks between meals for at least three hours per day, and a wide selection of local and international alcoholic and soft drinks for a minimum of 12 hours daily (details and brands can vary by season). Half Board and Half Board Plus focus on breakfast and dinner, with Plus including selected drinks at dinner. Always check the latest information at check-in.

What All Inclusive typically includes.

Outside, you’ll find two freshwater pools framed by loungers and chic, minimalist landscaping. One pool is open to all ages with a generous sunbathing terrace, while the adults-only pool offers a quieter corner with sunbeds and parasols for laid-back, book-in-hand afternoons. Pool towels are complimentary, and both pools are scheduled to be heated in shoulder months (April–May and October–November 2026, subject to change), making early- and late-season dips even more tempting.

When you’re ready for the sea, it’s just a few minutes’ stroll to the local beach – a classic Protaras mix of soft sand and shallow, crystal-clear water ideal for swimming, paddling and watersports. From here you can follow the coastal path to other bays and viewpoints along this beautiful stretch of the east coast.

Wellness fans are well looked after at The Blue Ivy Hotel & Suites. The air-conditioned gym (typically open 07:00–19:00, April–October) features cardio equipment, a free weights area and access to a sauna and steam room for post-workout unwinding (local charges apply; 18+ only).

The hotel’s spa offers a menu of massages and beauty treatments, perfect for easing travel tension or adding a little indulgence to your stay. Facilities are usually open during daytime hours and depend on occupancy; again, there’s a minimum age of 18 and extra charges apply.

Elsewhere you’ll find a smart lobby area, 24-hour reception and concierge-style assistance to help with restaurant bookings, excursions or vehicle hire. Families benefit from practical touches such as highchairs and microwaves in the restaurant, and the overall layout is compact and walkable, ideal if you like everything close at hand.
