Annabelle Hotel, Cyprus

Poseidonos Avenue, Kato Paphos, 8042 Paphos, Cyprus. (show on map)

Overlooking the sun-drenched Mediterranean in Paphos, Annabelle Hotel is widely celebrated as the “grand dame” of Cypriot hospitality. Family-run since opening in 1985, this five-star icon has spent decades setting the standard for luxury on the island. A massive, multi-million-euro transformation recently modernized its layout, blending its historic colonial elegance with fresh, contemporary style.

The hotel is famous for its stunning, six-acre sub-tropical gardens that cascade directly down to the sea. Hidden among the lush palms is a signature multi-level pool system, complete with cascading waterfalls and a secret cave-style grotto pool with a swim-up bar. The crowning jewel of the recent upgrade is the Ouranos rooftop wellness spa and indoor pool, which treats guests to jaw-dropping, floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the coast.

Annabelle also prioritizes local heritage, utilizing sustainable furniture handcrafted by local artisans across its 244 rooms. Food lovers will appreciate their “Food from the Village” culinary philosophy, which uses fresh, regional produce across their five restaurants. The hotel even published its own traditional Cypriot cookbook to share these local flavors with the world.

Location-wise, the property is incredibly well-positioned. It is the closest luxury hotel to the picturesque Paphos fishing harbor, meaning you are just a short, scenic stroll away from bustling waterfront tavernas and coastal walking paths.

History buffs are also in the perfect spot, as the hotel sits right on the doorstep of the UNESCO-listed Paphos Archaeological Park. A quick walk brings you to the world-famous House of Dionysus, home to some of the most spectacularly preserved, intricate Roman mosaics in the entire Mediterranean region.

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“A fabulous Kato Pafos hotel with luxurious rooms, some with private pools (oh, the decadence). The large hotel pool snakes through the site and the deck chairs on the pool’s edge are shaded by lofty palm trees. There are several restaurants and bars, plus a spa and yoga classes. Families can also enjoy excellent children’s facilities.”

Fodors review:

“Tropical gardens, sprawling swimming pools, and comfortably furnished rooms make this resort one of the area’s best. Like Alymra and Anassa, the property is owned by the Michaelides family, and friendly, first-rate guest services add to the appeal. The sea-view rooms are worth the splurge.”

Telegraph review:

“The lovingly cared-for ancient archaeological site in its garden and original Corinth capitals in its foyer are sure signs the Annabelle celebrates the fabulous heritage of Paphos. Yet this super-luxurious hotel fresh from a €10m spruce clearly has an eye on the future.”

Lovely hotel with great staff in Paphos harbour

Great central location. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere for New Year’s Eve. Lovely room

Some parts are starting too look tired compared to other hotels of similar quality in Cyprus. Breakfast was ok, good choice but we were in the separate area rather than the main breakfast room.

Lovely hotel but please help with temperature control in room.

Breakfast, clean room and twice a day change of towels if needed.

I needed a magnifying mirror in bathroom.
I was bitten very much by mosquitoes after opening the balcony doors at night as room was too hot.
Temperature regulation is needed in rooms if the doors are kept shut against mosquitoes. I was given a fan but temperature control should be better in your beautiful hotel.

Great location, wonderful breakfast, but some small details to improve

The location is excellent, which is why this was our second stay here. We were traveling with our baby and everything was very clean. The bed was very comfortable and the baby cot was also clean and well prepared. The breakfast was especially rich and delicious, which is another reason why we decided to come back.

The pillows were not very comfortable. In our room there were no curtains, while the room next to us (where my parents stayed) did have curtains. We also noticed some green mold on the shower rail that holds the shower head. We hope these small details can be improved in the future.

It was an incredible experience and home base for exploring Paphos Cyprus - a home away from home.

The amazing location of the hotel, the personalised welcome we received when we first arrived, the size and cleanliness of the room, the beautiful views from the balcony, the sense of being both couple and family-oriented, the amenities available if we wanted to access them, the scrumptious breakfasts and access to high quality in house restaurants, the availability of parking onsite and the impressive customer service we received from all staff. It was a holiday we wont forget!!

Initially we felt uneasy with how close the balcony's were of adjacent rooms in relation to privacy but we go used to this.

Memorable for all the right reasons! We would return

Great location in the town, lots of space despite all the guests there and a really warm welcome from all staff members who went out of their way to make our stay amazing

There were smokers in the next room who smoked on the balcony and the wind blew it in to our room. I have suggested to staff that smokers are in a different wing. It wasn’t every night as room occupants changed.

Good overall but lacking attention to detail considering price

The ocean view room was spacious and had a nice view. The breakfast selection was diverse and delicious. The hotel offers a wide range of facilities, including a sauna and spa area, and a tennis court that can be easily booked through the helpful front desk staff.

The shower was a major disappointment. The outdated showerhead was uncomfortable to use, and the lack of a full door caused the entire bathroom to flood, with water even seeping into the room.

Apart from that, the pools were not well maintained. One had a suspicious yellow stain floating on the surface, while the other had mold growing around the edges. Additionally, there were very loud noises coming from the drainage system.

Great for families

Great hotel for families. Excellent welcome and service. The location is great for those who like to be walking distance from restaurants and shops. The pools and beach are nice. The friendly staff was the cherry on top.

The room could have been bigger and the beds more comfortable.

Absolutely great accommodation near the beach and the promenade.

Absolutely great accommodation near the beach and the promenade. This hotel has very nice, helpful and polite staff. We also bought a one-hour classic massage at this hotel and it was really excellent, and we can definitely recommend it to other travelers. We thank you for everything and wish you much success in your work and many satisfied guests, as we were satisfied.

Pleasant hotel in great location

Room was spacious, and view lovely. Bed very comfortable. Breakfast had plenty of choice. Staff always pleasant and helpful. The location, an easy walk to good restaurants, was fine. We also liked being so near the sea.

Breakfast room was small for this type of hotel and became very congested. All meals and drinks were costly for what they were. Spa massages at an average of E100 each were expensive and off-putting.

All too brief stay by the beach.

Location was great. Fantastic breakfast. Considerate staff - especially at check-in. Doorman and concierge very helpful.

Room was OK but the bathroom was a little underwhelming for an expensive hotel. Shower was over the bath and no rain shower. One of the bedside USB outlets didn’t work. Low battery in the room safe meant it didn’t work initially - although quickly repaired.

Amazing hotel! Definitely will come again.

Amazing hotel, clean, beautiful, stylish, great service and very calming.

I came to rest but the mattress is too soft and gave me even more backpain. And from 4 till about 5 am there was an very loud sirine (alarm) going off outside and kept us awake and ruined our sleep.

Lovely hotel in a great location with fantastic pool areas.

Large, airy rooms. Great pool area. Attentive staff & good service throughout.

The floor area around the pool could be slippy & was often too hot to walk on.

a dream stay

our room was nice in size, it had a couch area and we had a balcony facing the most magnificent sea view and the stunning garden with all the pools.
the pools were so fun and fresh! we had a choice of four outdoor pools- all different styles- you could literally be in the pools all day. there were sunbeds facing the see with bar and towels.
it was so nice to know that there was a option of a kosher breakfast- as we cant have that in many pools

the only thing i didnt like was to have to go home from such a lovely place where we felt so pampered and treated in this amazing oasis.
