While Cyprus is famous for its gorgeous beaches, sapphire blue seas and cultural treasures, there’s a lesser-known reason to visit this sunny Mediterranean island.

You can experience a rejuvenating spa treatment in the very place where Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty, was born!

Whether you opt for a healing holiday in a beachside resort or a wellness retreat in a mountain village, spas in Cyprus are authentic, unique and unforgettable.

They make this island the perfect place for a spa vacation!

Why Choose Cyprus for a Spa Vacation

My wife and I moved to Cyprus in 2017 as expats from Canada and have never looked back. The mix of culture, history, weather and way of life in Cyprus suits us perfectly.

While we love the island’s beaches, traditional food and year-round festivals, a big part of our experience here has been to rejuvenate in the country’s spas.

Many are quite unique and unlike anything you’ll find anywhere else.

To help you tap into the blissful side of the island, I’ve created a list of the best spas in Cyprus to add to your travel plans.

I’ve grouped them into spas in the mountains, city spas and hammams (steam baths).

1. Casale Panayiotis Traditional Village Hotel and Spa

After many years abroad John Papadouris returned to his ancient mountain village of Kalopanayiotis (Google Map) to find it slowly dying as people moved to the cities to find work.

So he decided to build a hotel and spa incorporating many of the traditional houses and streets into its architecture and design.

The success of Casale Panayiotis Hotel and Spa revitalized the village inspiring many locals to open shops, restaurants and attractions.

Set in the Troodos mountains, the largest mountain range in Cyprus, this breathtaking resort consists of 41 guest rooms from studios to luxury suites.

The hillside complex is spread across seven houses and features restaurants, cafes and communal areas.

Its onsite Myrianthousa Spa itself offers a wellness journey through a thermal circuit that includes a hydrotherapy pool, sauna, herbal steam room, an ice cabin, mint ice mist, and tropical rain and foot baths.

Their massage therapies include a private mud cabin, luxurious facials, massage, light therapy, chocolate wraps, a traditional ancient sulphur bath ritual and many more.

As expected given its mountain setting, the views from this Cypriot spa are fantastic.

But the entire experience from the expertly prepared traditional food of Cyprus to attentive service make this luxury resort worth every penny.

We loved it so much we came back a second time!

More than just a spa, this is a unique experience that will relax your body and enrich your soul.
