Cap St Georges is Cyprus turned up to full luxury: a gleaming seafront resort carved from honey-coloured stone, looking out over the sea near Coral Bay. With 202 stylish sea-view rooms and suites, three outdoor pools, a beautiful spa and a huge choice of bars and restaurants, it’s the sort of place where you can arrive, exhale and happily not move very far for a week.
Our director Karen recently stayed here and came back raving about the space, service and attention to detail – from the serene spa to the rooftop dining and the family-friendly touches. It’s quickly become one of our go-to recommendations in Cyprus for both special-occasion trips and “we just want somewhere incredible” escapes.
Cap St Georges, Cyprus: the resort that made us linger over sunsets
” Back from Cap St Georges near Paphos and we have that lovely problem where every photo looks like a postcard. The resort sprawls along the edge of the Akamas National Park, gazing across the water to tiny Yeronisos island, with those big Cypriot skies doing their golden hour thing on cue. It is a modern luxury playground built from local stone, with glassy views, serious facilities and a very easy holiday rhythm. It took us, oh, about five minutes to decide we liked it here.”
The arrival is all soaring ceilings, designer seating and sparkle, right down to the statement chandelier in the lobby. The whole place is cut from honey coloured Cyprus stone, so despite the polish it still feels rooted in the landscape. Step outside and you have a 130 metre beach cove, three outdoor pools and a quieter adults’ indoor pool for when the breeze picks up. The resort is set by Kafizis Beach, with a second quiet strip called Olive Tree Beach, and it sits right at the cusp of the Akamas, which is why the sunsets are rather showy. Paphos Airport is around 30 minutes by car, and Paphos town about 18 to 19 kilometres away, so transfers are mercifully short.
There are 202 sea facing rooms and suites and the common thread is space, light and big sea views through floor to ceiling windows. Entry categories already start generous, while families and longer stays can move up to Cap Family Suites, One and Two Bedroom Suites, and several Residence options, some with private pools. If you like your square metres, the Cap Superior comes in at about 57 square metres and the One Bedroom Suite at around 116 square metres, which gives you an idea of the scale. Everything is cool toned and contemporary, with marble bathrooms and proper terraces or balconies.
All rooms and suites look to the sea and come with the same smart finish: marble bathrooms with separate bath and shower, generous wardrobes, Nespresso, large 55 inch television and calm modern styling in pale woods and stone. Several room types can take a child on the sofa bed, and travel operators also note interconnecting solutions for families who want more bedrooms together.
The pool scene is where the resort really shows off, with broad terraces lined with big parasols and huge cushioned luxury sun loungers. The Thalassa Olympic pool is the front and centre showpiece at around 50 metres long! It is a vast rectangle of glittering blue with broad entry steps, perfect for lengths in the morning and lazy laps later on. What we loved most is the attentive pool staff always on hand for an iced coffee, cocktail or club sandwiches without budging from your daybed. Alongside the big pool are two more outdoor options with families in mind. The Fun Pool keeps the mood lively for all ages while the Happy Seal Kidz Pool is a supervised splash space for little ones, so everyone has their lane, so to speak. There is also a calm indoor pool inside Cleopatra Spa if you fancy a quiet dip out of the sun.
The sunbathing terraces are generously tiered with extra wide, deeply cushioned loungers and big parasols. There’s ample of space between loungers, so it feels civilised even when the hotel is busy and with plenty of beds set out around all three outdoor pools, we never once played the dawn towel game.
Cap St Georges fronts a natural 130 metre cove, with views that run along a wider two kilometre stretch of shoreline. The sand is a sandy and pebbly mix and the water is wonderfully clear, which makes it great for a quick dip or a longer snorkel. There are two distinct sunbed zones so you can choose lively or quiet and both come with plenty of personal space.
Olive Tree Beach, the quiet one :
Up at Olive Tree Beach it is all hush, rustling leaves and the soft clink of ice. Oversized parasols shade huge cushioned loungers and there are beach butlers who magically appear with chilled towels and bowls of organic fruit from the resort orchard. It feels like a private club and is perfect for reading, dozing and general horizontal excellence.
Kafizis Beach, the active one :
Down at Kafizis Beach the vibe is a little more upbeat. Think families pottering in and out of the shallows and confident swimmers finning out towards the sea caves. Snorkelling from shore is easy here and scuba can be arranged through the resort team. If you fancy more horsepower, the hotel runs buggy transfers to nearby Agios Georgios Harbour where third party partners handle the motorised kit. We like the balance, gentle in the cove and action just a short ride away.
Attendants take orders to your lounger, cabana style daybeds are dotted along the shore and towel supply is generous. The whole scene feels spacious and calm.
Foodies are well looked after. Breakfast happens at Yeronisos, then you can wander down to Kohili for seafood and Mediterranean plates beside the shore, our favourite! Evenings are a choice between Sapori for Italian comfort, Bonsai for Asian favourites with a teppanyaki flourish or Kohili for DJ vibes and show girls. For something dressy, Sky7 on the seventh floor runs fine dining nights with a view that steals the conversation. Between times, Chroma Lounge is the spot for coffee and that strawberry coloured sunset, while Thalassa Pool Bar keeps the pool crowd watered and fed. There is also a gelato café in the Agora Village Square for kids and sweet tooth adults.
The Cleopatra Spa is a destination in its own right, spread over a vast 2,585 square metres with an indoor spa pool, hydrotherapy whirlpool, cold plunge pools, thermal saunas, steam rooms, aromatherapy showers and treatment rooms. Treatments use premium brands, including Valmont and Cinq Mondes. I had the best facial EVER!
Tucked within the Cleopatra Spa complex, the Nautilus fitness centre is a proper grown up gym, bright and roomy, with two spacious training rooms and state of the art Nautilus branded kit plus on site personal trainers if you want a plan rather than a wander. The cardio room lines up treadmills, bikes and ellipticals with mirrors and a clean wood floor, so you can clock your steps while keeping an eye on form and the sunrise playlist.
Next door, the strength area spreads out benches and selectorised machines with plenty of floor space for free weight work, so you are never hovering for a turn. It feels more like a members club than a hotel corner, which is exactly the point. Classes lean wellness rather than bootcamp, with yoga and Pilates on the schedule, plus the very Cypriot way to bounce into the day, Kangoo Jumps, all pre-booked through the spa team.
Overall it is the kind of hotel gym where you actually want to train, then wander out feeling smug to meet everyone else at breakfast.
Sporty types can rotate happily between three floodlit tennis courts, two paddel courts for doubles that turn into a social hour very quickly, plus a mini football pitch and sandy beach volleyball. The courts sit up on a slope so you get those smug sea views with your serves, and coaching can be arranged
Cap St Georges has two UEFA size natural grass football pitches tucked just behind the hotel and there is a purpose built archery range developed with the Cyprus Archery Federation.
Cap St Georges is unabashedly family friendly without losing its chic. The Happy Sealz Kids Club looks after ages three to twelve with learning led fun, there is a playground, a children’s pool, an outdoor cinema for evening films under the stars and a games lounge for rainy day rescues. Babysitting and evening childminding mean grown ups can have a proper dinner. The kids club was impressive, with a large soft play area it was more like an indoor play area than an actual kids club and parents were welcome to stay whilst their children played and made friends.
Who will love it
- Families who want proper space, a beach you can actually use and a kids club that earns its stripes.
- Couples who like clean lined luxury, a strong spa and romantic dinners with a view at Sky7.
- Wellness seekers who rate serious hydrotherapy and a modern gym.
- Active travellers who fancy a hit of tennis or padel between swims.
- Small corporate groups and celebratory parties who need good spaces without losing the resort vibe.
Why we loved it
The architecture is luxurious without shouting, service hit the right notes and the hardware is excellent, from the spa to the courts. We also liked the way the resort has its own little square for gelato, sundowners and people watching, which gives it a village life feel rather than a corridor of rooms. And then there is the sunset. You will promise yourself an early night and find yourself still on the terrace, clinking glasses as the sky does something cinematic again.

Tell us who’s travelling and how you like to spend your time, and we’ll recommend room types that make sense – not just on space and view, but on layout and location within the resort.
Food is a real highlight here. With around ten restaurants and bars, you could easily stay for a week and still have new menus to try. The resort cleverly mixes relaxed, family-friendly options with grown-up spaces for long, leisurely dinners
Yeronisos
The day starts here with a generous breakfast that mixes island produce with all the classics, so think fresh pastries, Cypriot cheeses, à la minute eggs and a view that makes a second coffee feel entirely necessary.
Kohili
Right by the water, Kohili serves easy Mediterranean plates and sparkling fresh seafood, the sort of place where grilled octopus and a crisp salad turn lunch into a very long affair.
Sapori
Sapori is your Italian comfort stop with handmade pasta, proper sauces and crisp pizzas, all delivered with that warm trattoria energy that makes everyone at the table share.
Bonsai
Bonsai brings a smart Asian menu with sushi from a neat counter and a teppanyaki show that adds a little theatre to dinner without stealing the conversation.
Sky7
Up on the top floor, Sky7 is the dressier choice for refined plates and a tasting style experience, with sunset views that do half the romancing for you.
Chroma Lounge
Chroma is the all day living room for the resort, pouring good coffee in the morning, serving light bites in the afternoon and shaking grown up cocktails when the sky goes pink.
Thalassa Pool Bar
This is the laid back poolside hub for smoothies, salads and something cold from the fridge, with to the lounger service that means your book never needs to close.
Agora Gelato
In the village square, the gelato counter tempts with small batch scoops, waffles and crêpes, perfect for a post dinner wander or a peace treaty with the kids.
If you’re travelling with specific dietary requirements or fussy younger eaters, we can talk you through which venues work best and help flag needs to the hotel ahead of time.
Cap St Georges’ Cleopatra Spa is the kind of place you’ll want to lose a whole afternoon in. There’s an indoor pool, thermal experiences, hammam, rasul and even a traditional-style banya, plus multiple treatment rooms and couples’ suites. Treatments use high-end brands such as Valmont, Cinq Mondes and other carefully chosen lines, with rituals ranging from targeted facials to longer “journey” experiences inspired by local ingredients.
The wellness offering goes beyond the spa: a well-equipped gym, yoga and fitness classes, tennis and padel courts and a long lap-style pool keep active guests more than happy. If you’re building a trip around relaxation and wellbeing, we can suggest the best room types and times of year to visit.
This is very much a family-capable hotel rather than an adults-only hideaway, which is great news if you’re travelling with children but don’t want to compromise on style.
- Kids’ club for ages roughly 3–12 years, with a mix of indoor and outdoor activities.
- Crèche-style care for babies/toddlers is often available (season- and occupancy-dependent), which is a game-changer for parents needing a genuine break.
- Children’s pools, splash areas and playgrounds, plus a seasonal outdoor kids’ cinema for films under the stars.
- Kid-friendly menus and highchairs in several restaurants; plenty of informal places to eat.
We’ll help you choose room configurations that work for your family’s ages, whether that’s interconnecting rooms for teens, a family suite, or a Residence with private pool so you can relax while little ones nap.
Even if you never left the resort, you’d have plenty to keep you occupied: multiple pools, tennis and paddle courts, a gym, spa, cinema, games areas and water sports. But there’s a lot more if you want it.
Highlights include:
Yacht and boat trips along the coast towards the Akamas peninsula, think sea caves, bays and clear water.
Horse riding at the resort’s own ranch or nearby stables.
- Water sports such as paddle-boarding, kayaking and snorkelling.
- Local experiences like halloumi-making or beekeeping, depending on season and availability.
- Easy trips into Paphos for archaeology, harbour side strolls and dinners out, or into the Akamas National Park for trails and wilder beaches
If you’d like a day-by-day flow, we can sketch an itinerary that balances pool time, small adventures and some properly indulgent downtime.
On the water
From the cove you can snorkel the clear shallows and try easy paddles like canoeing or stand up paddle boarding. For motorised toys and boat trips, Guest Services connect you with vetted partners at nearby Agios Georgios Harbour, so you can head out for water skiing, parasailing or a Blue Lagoon cruise when the sea is calm.
Trails and wheels
This corner of Cyprus borders the Akamas Peninsula, so you can add guided hikes and bike rides to your week. The hotel can arrange bicycle hire and buggies, and there are gentle coastal paths if you just want a scenic jog before breakfast.
