Zias Beach Club
Aphrodite Hills has its own private beach located near Avdimou. It offers sandy, child – friendly beach, beach facilities (sun beds, umbrellas, towels), a bar two restaurants. It is a quiet and tranquil hideaway perfect to wind away those lazy summer days by the sea.

The closest lifeguard manned beach to resort. The beach itself is a sand pebble mix but the waters are crystal clear and this lively bay has cafes, restaurants and watersports aplenty. If you are lucky enough you may see some turtles in late September.
Coralia Beach
Little known by tourists yet only a 5 minute drive past the busy Coral Bay beach in Paphos. White sands, calm sea and views of the Coral Bay hotel pier make this the perfect beach to unwind on. Set in a small bay, there are plenty of good snorkelling spots and a couple of nice eateries close by if you fancy a bit to eat.
Polis
There are some stunning beaches situated along the CHRYSOCHOU bay from Polis to Pachyamos. Fishing, boat trips and sailing are the best in the area from here. Great for snorkelling.
Akamas Peninsula
The Akamas national park is well worth checking out if you are into discovering secluded beaches and bays. LARA beach is a turtle sanctuary and the coast is unspoilt and great for picnics. A natural and undisturbed world that is best accessed with a 4x4.
Aphrodites Rock
A good place to stop off for a quick dip and an opportunity to test the fable that says if you swim around the rock anti- clockwise at midnight in your birthday suit you will achieve eternal youth. By day the sights are less concerning and the waters are clear with a sense of history as this is where Aphrodite is supposed to have risen from the waves, naked of course.
Kourion
Kourion is a sandy blue flag beach with a gentle shoreline situated below the roman amphitheatre. Great for swimming and relaxing more popular with locals then tourists.
