Hip Holiday Apartments In Paphos You'll Want To Call Home

Whether you’re heading to the southwest coast of Cyprus for ancient ruins, Mediterranean boat trips or sandy beaches, these holiday rentals in Paphos provide the perfect reprieve.

With tales and trails dating back to the ancient Greeks, Paphos and its surrounding southwestern stretch of Cyprus has plenty of mystery. So it’s a great place for a rental apartment – putting you close to rugged hiking trails, pretty villages and drives to dune-backed beaches. Here are some of the best places to rent in this storied slice of Cyprus.

1. Apollonia Holiday Apartments

Apartment

A short walk from Paphos’s pretty fishing harbour, as well as two sandy beaches, these simple but comfy apartments are perfect for self-caterers. As well as having nicely equipped kitchens, they come with a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, beers, fruit and soft drinks when you book stays of five nights or more. There’s a large shared pool set in gardens and lovely little sun-trap terraces for some rooms, too.

2. Rododafni Beach Apartments

Apartment

In coastal, villa-packed Chlorakas, these modern, palm-shaded apartments are just steps from the crystalline shallows of the Mediterranean. Along the front of the refreshing outdoor pool is a row of loungers gazing out to sea. Kids love the spacious grounds for playing and swimming, and families fit nicely in the modern, ice-white apartments, with full-sized fridges and ovens made for feeding a clan.

4. King's Holiday Apartments

Apartment

In Paphos Town, 20 minutes’ walk from Paphos Beach, this apartment complex has bright, sun-flooded white apartments with kitchenettes and balconies. A family-run operation with hosts who will give you local tips, it’s well placed for Paphos’s ancient ruins, historic mosaics and glorious boat trips around the west coast. There’s a kidney-shaped pool and loungers on a smart patio, too.

5. Valentinos Apartments

Apartment

This modern apartment block has spacious apartments with polished wooden floors and prettily tiled kitchens – a cut above the competition, looks wise. It’s close to Paphos’s Old Town, with historic churches, supermarkets and bakeries all within easy reach. There’s no swimming pool, but there is a nice little lawn for sunbathing, and all rooms have balconies that catch the sun.

6. Princessa Vera Hotel Apartments

Apartment

Just 500m (0.3mi) from sandy Faros Beach, these zesty modern rooms are jazzed up by tangerine armchairs and throws, wide-striped wallpaper and glossy, space-saving wooden units. Downstairs is just as fresh-feeling, with a low-lit, glowing cocktail bar and poolside patio for breakfast. Two large outdoor pools, a sauna and a jacuzzi also showcase the stylish side of Paphos living.

7. Anna Hotel Apartments

Apartment

In the Paphos-adjacent village of Kissonerga, russet-tiled Anna apartments have a sizeable pool terrace and a charming little nook of a pool bar, complete with plush cushioned seating. Spotless rooms survey the palms, and it’s run by a family who make you feel warmly welcomed – especially kids, who they love having to stay. Head to nearby Coral Bay for sandy shores and clear shallows.
