Selected entries from the current guide for Cyprus.
Paphos, Cyprus
Where the Soil Meets the Table in Yeroskipou The road into Yeroskipou, a village that sits just east of Paphos along the coast, carries the particular quietness of a place that tourists pass through rather than stop in. That is, broadly, what...
Limassol, Cyprus
Acane arrives in Parekklisia just outside Limassol carrying a name rooted in Incan fermentation mythology and a culinary direction already drawing serious attention. The restaurant connects ingredient provenance with a philosophy that treats fermentation not as technique but as origin story. For the Limassol dining scene, it represents a genuinely new register.
Nicosia, Cyprus
Beba Restaurant occupies a prominent address in central Nicosia and generated significant attention from its opening day across Cyprus. The space carries an atmosphere that positions it firmly within the city's upper dining tier. For visitors to the capital, it represents one of the more discussed restaurant openings in recent memory.
Limassol, Cyprus
Columbia Steak House has held its place among Limassol's most recognised dining addresses for decades, drawing a loyal following to its Old Town location on Agiou Andreou. An award-winning steakhouse operating in the heart of a city better known for seafood and mezze, it occupies a specific niche in Cyprus's dining scene: serious meat cookery in a Mediterranean context, where sourcing and consistency have built the reputation rather than trend-chasing.
Limassol, Cyprus
A stone-walled mansion on 16th June Street in central Limassol, Dionysus Mansion draws on decades of presence in the city's dining scene. The historic courtyard and interior spaces position it among Limassol's more characterful addresses, where traditional Cypriot hospitality meets a setting that predates the coastal strip's recent development boom. Advance reservations are advisable, particularly for courtyard seating.
Limassol, Cyprus
LPM Limassol brings the Belle Epoque-inflected French-Mediterranean format of La Petite Maison's international network to Cyprus's coastal dining scene. The Giannou Kranidioti address delivers a recognisable aesthetic and pacing that has built the brand's reputation across Dubai, London, and beyond. For Limassol, it represents a specific tier of internationally anchored fine dining that sits apart from the island's taverna tradition.
Limassol, Cyprus
Matsuhisa Limassol carries the culinary signature of Nobu Matsuhisa to Cyprus's southern coast, operating from a five-star seafront property along Amathus Avenue. In a city where the fine-dining scene has expanded rapidly alongside marina development, the restaurant occupies the upper tier of Japanese-inflected cuisine on the island, a position few competitors challenge at the same level.
Limassol, Cyprus
NAMMOS arrived in Limassol carrying the accumulated identity of two decades across Mykonos, Dubai, and Cannes, a Mediterranean beach-club format that has refined itself across four cities into something more deliberate than its sun-and-sea origins suggest. The Limassol outpost sits on Giannou Kranidioti Street, bringing a menu architecture built around fresh seafood, grilled proteins, and shareable mezze-adjacent formats to Cyprus's most internationally minded dining strip.
Nicosia, Cyprus
Pralina Experience occupies a prominent address on Stasikratous Street, one of Nicosia's most recognised dining corridors, and has built a reputation as a reference point for serious dining on the island. The restaurant has earned consistent recognition for raising the standard of what a considered restaurant meal looks like in Cyprus's capital, placing it in a narrow tier of Nicosia addresses where both occasion dining and culinary ambition converge.
Limassol, Cyprus
Ristorante Locatelli occupies a prime position within the AMARA hotel on the Limassol coastline, bringing a considered Italian culinary philosophy to Cyprus's most ambitious dining corridor. The restaurant's terrace opens directly onto Mediterranean views, placing it firmly in the upper tier of the city's hotel dining scene. For those tracing fine Italian cooking beyond the Italian peninsula, this is a serious address.
Nicosia, Cyprus
Rous Restaurant on Mpoumpoulinas Street brings Cypriot fine dining to the centre of Nicosia through an award-winning format that treats local culinary tradition with considered, precise technique. The space is designed around warmth and material harmony, making it one of the capital's more serious destinations for those approaching Cypriot cuisine as more than a casual affair.
Limassol, Cyprus
Salone Pizza Pasta Bar on Arch. Makarios III Avenue holds a 2-Star Accreditation from the World of Fine Wine's WBWLA awards programme, placing it in a recognised tier within Limassol's Italian-leaning dining scene. In a city where the restaurant market runs from harbour-front internationals to neighbourhood specialists, that independent accreditation carries weight. Salone occupies the specialist end of the pizza and pasta category in Cyprus's second city.
Limassol, Cyprus
The Polo restaurant and bar occupies the Alasia Hotel, a renovated historic boutique property on Haidari Street in Limassol's city centre. The building's surrealist interior design, generous natural light, and pool-facing greenery set it apart from Limassol's newer coastal hotel dining rooms. Plan your visit around the hotel's character as much as the menu itself.
Limassol, Cyprus
Wolfgang's Steakhouse brings its award-winning American steakhouse format to Limassol's seafront on Amathountos Avenue, positioning the global chain's Mediterranean outpost against a dining scene that has grown considerably more competitive in recent years. The beachfront setting and polished interior place it in a different register from local taverna tradition, appealing to visitors and residents who track the brand across cities.
Paphos, Cyprus
Agora Café sits in Agora Village Square in Pegeia, placing it in the everyday café culture that frames much of dining around Paphos: social, informal, and tied to village-square rhythm rather than destination-restaurant theatre. The draw is less about awards or chef mythology than context, location, and the way a café can anchor a Cypriot day between coast, errands, and long conversation.
Limassol, Cyprus
Amber Dragon sits in Limassol, a port city where dining is shaped by sea traffic, resort demand, and a long habit of borrowing flavors from elsewhere. With no public awards, price band, chef, or format listed, it reads less as a trophy reservation than as part of the city’s wider international restaurant mix, worth judging against Limassol’s broader Asian and cross-cultural dining scene.
Paphos, Cyprus
Amorosa sits on Poseidonos Avenue in Paphos, a coastal dining corridor where hotel restaurants, seafront tavernas, and resort-facing rooms compete for the same evening crowd. Read it through ingredient sourcing rather than spectacle: in this part of Cyprus, the strongest meals tend to depend on seafood, herbs, citrus, olive oil, and produce moving quickly from coast and hinterland to plate.
Neo Chorio, Cyprus
Amphora gives Neo Chorio a sea-facing dining room for readers who care less about ceremony and more about the coastal logic of western Cyprus: terrace, village pace, and a kitchen that should be judged by ingredient clarity rather than spectacle. With no public award trail or published chef narrative to lean on, the draw is context: Akamas-edge dining where the setting does serious work.
Nicosia, Cyprus
Amyth Kouzina sits in Nicosia’s old-city dining orbit, where Cyprus’s produce culture, cross-border rhythms, and small-room hospitality matter more than grand culinary theatre. With little public detail around format or pricing, it reads as a restaurant to assess through sourcing cues, neighbourhood context, and how it fits beside the capital’s wider table culture rather than through awards shorthand.
Limassol, Cyprus
Anaïs belongs to a Limassol dining scene shaped by port-city appetite, coastal produce and a growing audience for restaurants that read beyond the old tavern formula. With no public award or price signal to lean on, the useful way to judge it is by context: where it sits in the city’s expanding restaurant map and how convincingly the kitchen connects Cyprus’s ingredients to a contemporary night out.
Pissouri Bay, Cyprus
Apollo Tavern fits the older Pissouri Bay rhythm: a coastal village meal built around tavern culture rather than chef-led theatre. The draw is context, local produce, grilled and shared food traditions, and the slower tempo that separates Cyprus’s village tables from resort dining.
Paphos, Cyprus
Asteras belongs in the Paphos conversation as a coastal-city dining address where the appeal depends less on ceremony than on how convincingly Cyprus puts local produce, fish, herbs, and village-table habits into a restaurant setting. With no public awards or named chef attached, the safer read is contextual: judge it against Paphos peers by freshness, pacing, and how clearly the kitchen reflects the island rather than imported resort shorthand.
Limassol, Cyprus
Aura belongs in the conversation about Limassol’s coastal dining culture, where the city’s strongest restaurants are judged by how intelligently they connect seafood, vegetables, citrus, herbs, and Mediterranean seasonality. With little public emphasis on awards or chef theatre, the useful question is practical: does the room fit the way Limassol now eats, between business dinners, marina-side evenings, and ingredient-led Cypriot cooking?
Pissouri Bay, Cyprus
Bacchus belongs to the resort-side dining rhythm of Pissouri Bay, where the meal is shaped as much by sea air, poolside geography, and Cyprus’s produce culture as by formal culinary signaling. With no public awards or chef-led tasting format attached, it reads as a local option for travellers who want the bay’s relaxed evening pace rather than a destination dining ceremony.
Cyprus
Selected entries from the current guide for Cyprus.
Pano Lefkara, Cyprus
A former market building in Pano Lefkara's historic centre, The Agora Hotel has been converted by its Danish owners into an adults-only boutique property of 15 rooms and three suites. The design sits at the intersection of Scandinavian restraint and eastern Mediterranean materiality, with a salt-water courtyard pool, an all-day bistro, and a village famous for its lacemaking directly outside the door. Rates from $288 per night.
Nicosia, Cyprus
A restored grand villa set against Nicosia's ancient Venetian walls, Amyth of Nicosia places guests inside the historic fabric of Cyprus's capital rather than beside it. The property sits at 29 Patriarchou Grigoriou, steps from the city's cultural and creative centres, making it a natural base for anyone approaching Nicosia seriously. For travellers who want architecture to do some of the storytelling, this is where to stay.
Paphos, Cyprus
Built on the site of one of Paphos's first post-war lodgings and reimagined as an adults-only retreat, M Boutique Hotel offers 77 minimalist rooms with warm wood finishes, several suites with private pools, and an in-house restaurant drawing on Troodos mountain produce and local wines. At around $149 per night, it occupies a mid-tier position in Paphos that few design-led properties match at that price point.
Neo Chorio, Cyprus
A Leading Hotels of the World member on the Chrysochou Bay coastline, Anassa is designed as a Byzantine-inspired village that descends through olive groves and bougainvillea to a private beach. The architecture sets the tone for everything: measured, rooted in Cypriot vernacular, and calibrated for privacy. A two-phase renovation beginning in 2025 will carry that vision into the next chapter, with the full transformation complete by 2027.
Limassol, Cyprus
Opened in 2019 on Limassol Bay, AMARA is a modernist coastal hotel where every room commands a 180-degree sea view. The dining lineup spans Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian counter and Giorgio Locatelli's Michelin-recognised Italian kitchen, alongside a seafood restaurant and a 3,000-square-metre spa. Its design-first approach positions it at the upper tier of Cyprus's contemporary hotel scene.
Paphos, Cyprus
Annabelle occupies a prime position on Poseidonos Avenue in Paphos, Cyprus, with 244 rooms placed along the seafront. The property sits within the cluster of larger Paphos hotels that define the city's established hospitality tier, making it a reference point for visitors seeking substantial accommodation with direct coastal access in the western part of the island.
Limassol, Cyprus
Among Limassol's coastal resort options, Parklane occupies a distinct position: a 30-acre Luxury Collection property on a Blue Flag beach with 274 keys designed by Harrods Interiors, six food and beverage outlets including NAMMOS and LPM Limassol, and a 2026 Star Wine List award. It draws comparison with AMARA and Amathus Beach Hotel Limassol but operates at a different scale and programming depth.
Limassol, Cyprus
A Leading Hotels of the World member on Limassol's Agios Tychonas coastline, Amathus Beach Hotel occupies a position at the more established end of the city's resort spectrum. The property sits close to the ancient archaeological site of Amathous, giving it a geographic anchor that newer Limassol hotels lack. For travellers weighing the city's upper-tier resort options, it represents a reference point against which more recent arrivals are still measured.
Kalopanayiotis, Cyprus
A restoration project in the Troodos mountains, Casale Panayiotis transforms a cluster of traditional Cypriot stone buildings into a design-led rural retreat in Kalopanayiotis. The property sits in a category of heritage-conversion hotels that prioritise architectural integrity over contemporary reinvention, placing it closer to properties like Castello di Reschio than to Cyprus's coastal resort tier.
Pissouri Bay, Cyprus
Columbia Beach Resort occupies a stretch of Pissouri Bay between white limestone cliffs and the Mediterranean, modelled on the architectural vocabulary of a traditional Cypriot village. A lagoon-style pool, fine dining, and an award-winning health and fitness centre anchor the resort's offer. For travellers seeking a quieter bay than the main Cypriot resorts, Pissouri positions the property between Limassol and Paphos with a character distinct from either city's hotel strip.
Nicosia, Cyprus
Aelia Wellness Retreat occupies a residential address on Grigoriou Afxentiou street in Nicosia, earning a place in the Michelin Selected Hotels 2025 guide, recognition that positions it among Cyprus's more considered accommodation options. For travellers seeking a wellness-oriented base in the island's capital, Aelia operates in a quieter tier than the coastal resort circuit, prioritising restorative atmosphere over spectacle.
Paphos, Cyprus
Almyra occupies eight acres of landscaped gardens along Paphos' seafront promenade, positioning it among the Cypriot coast's most considered resort addresses. The property's acclaimed refurbishment placed it in a different competitive bracket from the city's older resort stock, with a design sensibility that reads clearly Mediterranean without defaulting to the whitewashed clichés the region tends to produce.
Paphos, Cyprus
Amavi MadeForTwo Hotels in Paphos holds a Michelin Selected distinction for 2025, placing it in a small cohort of properties on Cyprus that meet the guide's accommodation standards. The property's adults-only format sets its positioning apart from the broader Paphos resort market.
Lofou, Cyprus
A MICHELIN Selected guesthouse in the hill village of Lofou, Apokryfo occupies a restored traditional Cypriot structure where the architecture itself is the primary statement. Stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and vernacular building techniques place it within a small category of Troodos foothills properties that prioritise heritage fabric over resort-scale amenity. For travellers seeking village immersion over poolside convenience, it occupies a distinct position in the Cyprus accommodation spectrum.
Paphos, Cyprus
The resort format suits longer stays, with spa facilities rounding out what is primarily a beach-oriented offering in one of Paphos's most visited coastal stretches.
Paphos, Cyprus
Cap St Georges Hotel & Resort occupies the northwestern edge of Paphos, where the Akamas Peninsula begins and the coast curves away from the city's busier resort strip. The property holds dual recognition as both a Regional Winner for Luxury Lifestyle Resort and Country Winner for Luxury Beachfront Resort, positioning it at the upper tier of Cyprus coastal accommodation. For travellers seeking distance from the main Kato Paphos hotel corridor without sacrificing resort facilities, the Pegeia address does most of the work.
Limassol, Cyprus
City of Dreams Mediterranean holds a Star Wine List recognition for 2026, placing its cellar among the more seriously programmes in Limassol.
Protaras, Cyprus
Constantinos The Great Beach Hotel sits directly on the Protaras coastline and holds the Country Winner award for Luxury All-Inclusive Hotel in Cyprus. Its position places it at the summit of the all-inclusive tier in a resort strip better known for volume tourism than considered hospitality, making it a reference point for travellers weighing Protaras against the island's more design-forward alternatives.
Larnaca, Cyprus
Hotel Indigo Larnaca holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction for 2025, placing it within a short list of Cyprus hotels recognised by the Guide's hotel programme. Positioned on Adonidos Street in the centre of Larnaca, the property connects guests to the city's seafront promenade and historic Finikoudes district within walking distance. For travellers who want design-conscious accommodation close to the salt lake and Hala Sultan Tekke, it represents a considered urban base.
Nicosia, Cyprus
MAP Boutique Hotel occupies a converted address on Stasinou Avenue in central Nicosia, carrying a 2025 Michelin Selected distinction that places it among a small tier of recognized independent properties in the Cypriot capital. The hotel operates at a scale and design register that sits apart from the international chain hotels clustering around the city's commercial core, making it a reference point for the boutique segment in an underwritten market.
Paphos, Cyprus
Named Cyprus's Leading Boutique Hotel at the 2025 World Travel Awards, The Elysium occupies a distinct position in Paphos's premium accommodation market. The property operates at the intersection of Aegean setting and wellness-focused retreat, drawing guests who want proximity to the city's UNESCO-listed archaeological sites without surrendering a considered hotel experience.
Nicosia, Cyprus
The Landmark Nicosia, part of Marriott's Autograph Collection, holds a MICHELIN Selected distinction in 2025, placing it among a small cohort of hotels the guide considers worth recommending in Cyprus's capital. Positioned on Arch. Makarios III Avenue, the city's main commercial artery, it operates in a different register from Nicosia's boutique alternatives, offering a formal urban hotel experience in a city with relatively few options at that tier.
Cyprus
Selected entries from the current guide for Cyprus.
Limassol, Cyprus
On Limassol's central Arch. Makarios III Avenue, Le Bordeaux Bistro and Winebar occupies a corner position that signals its dual identity: a French bistro with wine-bar depth rather than a restaurant that happens to serve wine. The address puts it at the heart of the city's dining corridor, drawing a crowd that arrives as much for the glass as for the plate.
Nicosia, Cyprus
Lost + Found on Lord Byron Street has carried Nicosia onto the global cocktail map, appearing in the World's 50 Best Bars every year from 2015 to 2023, reaching as high as number 25. For cocktail drinkers passing through Cyprus, this address is the reference point.
Nicosia, Cyprus
A new arrival on Nicosia's Mpoumpoulinas strip, Sauvàge positions itself at the intersection of Parisian neo-bistro culture and the city's growing natural wine movement. The room carries genuine decorative ambition, think Left Bank character translated into a Mediterranean setting, and the wine list reaches well beyond what the local market typically offers. Among Nicosia's wine-bar tier, it reads as the deliberately European in outlook.
Larnaca, Cyprus
Larnaca's most established wine bar, Vinaria sits near the Foinikoudes promenade at Q City Centre and has built its reputation around fresh, well-selected wines paired with tapas-style dishes. The format is relaxed but purposeful, drawing a local crowd that treats wine as the main event rather than an afterthought. Among Cyprus wine bar addresses, Vinaria holds a position few Larnaca venues have matched for consistency and longevity.
Nicosia, Cyprus
One of Cyprus's most awarded wine restaurants, Vino Cultura occupies a prime address on Nicosia's reconstructed Kyriakou Matsi Avenue. The wine list and kitchen together make a case for the island's growing serious-drinking culture, drawing a loyal crowd that returns not out of habit but out of conviction. For anyone tracking Cyprus's wine-bar evolution, this is a reference point.
Nicosia, Cyprus
The Nicosia outpost of Athens' established Vintage Wine Bar, set in the heart of the Old City on Ermou Street, brings a wine-forward approach to creative Mediterranean cuisine in a setting that reflects the character of historic Nicosia. The venue has secured recognition among wine enthusiasts and food-focused visitors to the Cypriot capital, operating within a small but growing cohort of serious wine bars in the city.

Selected entries from the current guide for Cyprus.
Kyperounta Limassol, Cyprus
Kyperounda Winery belongs to the high-altitude side of Cypriot wine: mountain air, Troodos vineyards, and a portfolio that puts Xynisteri, Chardonnay, reds, rosé, and Commandaria into a cooler-climate frame. Its draw is less cellar-door theatre than terroir: a winery at about 1,200 metres, with vineyards reaching roughly 1,450 metres and a production culture shaped by research as much as tradition.
Pelendri, Cyprus
Tsiakkas Winery gives Cyprus wine travel a high-altitude reference point: terrace tastings, mountain-and-valley views, and a portfolio shaped by Pitsilia’s steep vineyards. The family-run estate, founded in 1988, works across indigenous grapes, international varieties, Commandaria, and oak-aged Zivania, with organic farming and hand harvesting anchoring the story in place rather than cellar theatrics.
Limassol, Cyprus
Vlassides Winery belongs to the high-altitude wine-village side of Limassol, where Cyprus reads through mountain vineyards rather than beach-resort shorthand. The draw is terroir-led winemaking: sustainable production, indigenous-variety experimentation, estate vineyards, and a guided tasting format that keeps the focus on place rather than spectacle.
Panayia, Cyprus
Vouni Panayia Winery gives Cyprus’s mountain wine culture a clear focal point in Panayia, with a hillside setting, terrace outlook and a portfolio centered on indigenous grapes. The draw is not trophy collecting but regional specificity: Xynisteri, Spourtiko, Promara, Mavro, Maratheftiko and Yiannoudi in a family-run winery founded in 1987.
Agios Amvrosios, Cyprus
Zambartas Winery gives Cyprus wine culture a focused village setting: native grapes, sustainable vineyard practice, and cellar-led tastings in Agios Amvrosios. The draw is not trophy collecting or spectacle, but a family-run producer using the Krasochoria wine villages to frame Cypriot varieties with technical discipline and a modern visitor format.
