Almond Holiday Village ★★★

The Almond Holiday Village is a stunning traditional boutique hotel of the Mediterranean set against a beautiful mountain backdrop in the popular coastal village of Alsancak.

This tranquil, family-run holiday village boasts artistic and traditionally inspired décor throughout. From the moment you enter its Ottoman doors, you are stricken with passionate attention to detail complimented by significant warmth and culture. Lush, Mediterranean gardens are dotted with restored Cypriot antiques, whilst bespoke wooden furniture, traditional paintings and hand embroidered cushions dress its interiors.  

The Almond Holiday Village is one of the few traditional Cypriot hotels where you can still experience legendary local hospitality with a 100% Cypriot heritage, a distinguished choice of beautifully served traditional & world cuisine and well-furnished, boutique-style accommodation. Their traditional mezzanine villas, spacious cottages, hotel rooms and a disabled-friendly villa are all graced with modern comforts and picturesque views to provide their large number of loyal and repeat guests with the perfect “home away from home”.

Cyprus Paradise Experts Recommend

The Almond Holiday Village itself is bursting with fantastic home-made traditional artefacts.  If you fancy any of these as souvenirs, the hotel can actually make and personalise them for you during your holiday, providing you give them enough notice. 

Alsancak has some of the most popular beaches on the Cypriot north shore with crystal waters and stunning sandy coves. The nearest is the popular, family-friendly Camelot beach, just under a mile away, which enjoys an exciting variety of water sports (scuba diving, banana rides, jet skiing, water skiing).  This sandy beach is well maintained, with great facilities, including sun shades and loungers, a restaurant and bar and live music can also be enjoyed in their club until the early hours!

Within walking distance is the ancient city of Lambousa – “The Kingdom of Heritage”, a famous archaeological attraction and fine example of secular art from early Byzantium - The historical foundations of a lighthouse, sea-water fishponds and a section of the city's wall still exist in the 6th century Byzantine town.

A recommended walking track that can be experienced from The Almond Holiday Village’s doorstep, is the spectacular walk to the picturesque Malatya Waterfall, situated in a small village in the mountains just above Alsancak, which also makes an ideal place for a picnic. Other paths slightly further away, but definitely worth venturing are Karaman Bronze Age Tombs, Kozan Monastery & Valley, Karşiyaka Monastery, Geçitköy Reservoir and the Lapta Coastal Walk, where you will discover a newly-built seafront promenade enjoying 1.5km of stunning sea views.
