Many hotels across Cyprus’ tourist areas have undertaken partial or extensive upgrades in recent years, despite challenges facing the tourism sector.
Hotel industry representatives highlight that Cyprus relies on its high-quality hotel facilities and services to maintain competitiveness in the region.
Christos Angelides, general director of the Cyprus Hoteliers Association (Pasyxe), told Stockwatch that there is “cautious optimism” for 2025, noting that despite regional conflicts, the previous season ended positively.
Upgraded hotels, he said, “give Cyprus a competitive edge over neighbouring destinations“, which benefit from land, sea, and air access, while Cyprus is limited to air travel.
Several hotels in the Famagusta district, particularly in Ayia Napa, have undergone renovations, including the five-star NissiBlu Beach Resort and Adams Beach Hotel & Spa, the latter’s renovation spanning three phases, concluding in 2026.
Other renovated hotels include the four-star Sunwing Sandy Bay Beach and Nissi Beach Hotel, as well as Cavo Maris Beach Hotel in Protaras.
The “hotel sector’s commitment to quality tourism is reflected in continued investments in infrastructure, sustainability, and energy efficiency“, according to Chrysemily Psilogeni, director of the Cyprus Tourism Enterprises Association (Stek).
Recent upgrades include five-star hotels in Limassol, Paphos, and Ayia Napa, which collectively contribute to enhancing Cyprus’ tourism offerings.
