Anassa means ‘Queen’ in ancient Greek, a fitting name for this truly majestic property. Guest villas exude the sleepy charm of an ancient Byzantine village; all rooms are extraordinarily spacious, exquisitely furnished in sensuous fabrics, and all have balconies with panoramic sea views. Some suites have private plunge pools and whirlpools on sea-facing terraces.

Anassa boasts four outstanding restaurants and the newly refurbished Thalassa Spa, which specialises in the very latest health and beauty treatments and Thalassotherapy. Thalassa Spa uses products by the forward-thinking Organic Pharmacy whose ingredients are 100% chemical free. Free WIFI is available throughout the resort.

With both outdoor and indoor pools, Anassa works equally well as a summer and a winter retreat. During the brief and mild Cyprus winter, guests can recline on daybeds by the indoor pool and enjoy the Spa's healthy cuisine. A sailing boat is also available for charter, in which guests can enjoy sailing around the Akamas peninsula.
