Everyone has a different reason for coming to Cyprus. Whether you're planning a visit for tranquility, a family adventure, a romantic getaway, to interact with new people, or to recoup your health and well-being, Cyprus has an accommodation to suit every purpose.

Before diving into the hundreds of hotel listings, keep your ultimate vacation goal clear in your mind by making a list of your most important requirements when it comes to lodging. Sort hotels into categories by overall atmosphere, such as "family friendly,” "health & wellness,” "leisure,” etc, then listing individual hotels and their unique attributes under each category.

To jumpstart your search for the perfect Cyprus hotel, take a look at the list below of 5 accommodations in their respective atmosphere categories, chosen by people who live in Cyprus:

Health and Wellness If your vacation goal is to revitalize and receive the treatment of a Greek god or goddess, then Aphrodite Hills is a choice worth considering. The resort offers a uniquely Greek Thalassotheraphy treatment, inspired by Hippocrates, the Father of modern medicine. Thalassotheraphy works to rejuvenate the cells using heated sea water, producing an exchange of minerals and toxins between the blood and the water. Aphrodite Hills also offers a roman based spa, Retreat Spa, and Sauna Jacuzzi Bath Massage treatment.

Family Friendly Environment Adults and kids can keep themselves thoroughly entertained at the Elia Latchi hotel with a wide selection of games, restaurants, and theme nights hosted by the hotel. Mom and dad can even enjoy some alone time while kids play in the kid's club or receive care from the hotel's babysitting service. When it's time to return to your room and recount the day's events, you can do so in an apartment style villa, complete with separate bedrooms and a kitchenette, perfectly suited for a family.

Leisure and Entertainment If your style is to be in the center of the action, many travelers with similar desires often enjoy the Sandy Beach hotel. Located just 5 miles outside of the bustling city of Larnaca, this hotel is close to a variety of cultural restauran

Relaxation If you and your traveling companions would rather relax and enjoy the serene natural beauty of Cyprus without the crowds, the ZX Holiday Villas hotel offers a quiet and natural experience. These 1-4 bedroom apartment-type hotel suites come with complete kitchenettes and are either located on the beach or just a few kilometers away. You won't find games and clubs here, just peaceful relaxation and a stunning view of Cyprus's almost surreal natural color palette.

Romantic Getaway Couples consistently recommend the romantic Mediterranean garden and ocean views of the Almyra. The stylish, modernly decorated rooms feel more like a luxurious home than a hotel. Live music plays most nights and buffets and barbeques at its two restaurants keep couples satisfied with delicious cultural foods. While the hotel caters to every type of guest, the more refined activities such as tennis and diving make the Almyra an attractive choice for couples traveling without children.

When browsing through hotel listings online for any destination, always check to see if the agency is located in the country you plan to visit. Local travel agencies know which hotels are most reputable and trustworthy in the area. A local online travel agent can point you in the direction of the best deals and help you to find hotels offering free car rentals, free night stays, and special deals where children stay for free.
