Elysium Beach Resort

Elysium Beach Resort is a 5-star beachfront resort on Vasilissis Verenikis Street, on the Tombs of the Kings side of Kato Paphos in Cyprus. The Tombs of the Kings archaeological site lies a short distance along the coast, while the harbour, Paphos Castle and the Archaeological Park with its Roman mosaics are a few kilometres south-west, reachable by taxi, local bus or a long seafront walk. Paphos International Airport is roughly 15 km away, so transfers are short. The resort is built in a castle-style architectural idiom, with turreted, stone-coloured buildings arranged around landscaped grounds and terraces that step toward the sea, giving it a distinctive look compared with the modern glass-and-white hotels elsewhere on the coast. Accommodation ranges from standard double rooms to sea-view rooms and suites, all air-conditioned and equipped with Wi-Fi, and many have balconies or terraces. Indicative rates run from about EUR 190 to EUR 420 per night for a double room depending on the season, with the highest prices in summer. Facilities are those of a large resort: several outdoor pools, a spa, a bar and a number of restaurants, with a buffet for breakfast and a mix of themed and a la carte options in the evening. Beach access is part of the setting, and the resort shoreline is a rocky and sandy stretch typical of the Paphos coast. The spa offers treatments and wellness facilities for guests who want a quieter day away from the pool area. The service character is that of a full-service leisure resort, suited to couples, families and longer stays, with organised entertainment in peak months. Because the resort is large and self-contained, many guests eat most meals on site, though the cafes and tavernas of Kato Paphos remain within easy reach for an evening out. Visitors who plan to see the Paphos mosaics, the Tombs of the Kings and the harbour in a single stay will find the location a practical base, particularly outside the hottest weeks of July and August.
