Elysium Hotel Elysium Hotel

A place in Elysium was the reward for leading a good life in Ancient Greece. Nowadays though, one doesn't need to shuffle off this mortal coil to make the same journey, it awaits on the coast of Cyprus.

Given its famous name, it's no surprise every aspect of Elysium has been meticulously tuned to ensure guests can relax, escape and enjoy every minute. The hotel sits on a private beach outside Paphos, fringed with lavish gardens, swimming pools and an unparalleled view over the Mediterranean Sea. This is no one-trick pony either, step inside and the eye candy continues.

Elysium's variety of accommodations range from Deluxe Rooms with balconies, all the way up to the extravagant Royal Garden Villa, a palace of seclusion sequestered apart from the main building. A blend of local stone, marble and timber were used in constructing the hotel, evoking a sense of place and tradition on this island paradise.

Dining is a central tenet of the Elysium experience, and a choice of five restaurants will sate the appetite of even the fussiest gourmand. Locally grown ingredients are championed throughout, and dishes range from simple staples to grand gourmet creations. The Mare Nostrum Pool Bar is a particular highlight, providing a cool destination to bask under the Mediterranean sun.
