All of this stuff is great, but what keeps people coming back to Columbia Beach Resort time and again is the team here. As Yohanna explained: “One of the most unique factors in our resort is our team. We like to say, ‘Hospitality with a Heart’ and that is because our team deliver unparallel levels of hospitality to each of our guests. Our team are able to genuinely connect and create an emotional bond, so much so that our guests feel as if they are members of the family coming home for the holidays.” Looking ahead, Columbia Beach Resort remains absolutely dedicated to delivering the highest standards of quality and service, something that is appreciated by all of the markets it caters to and which has led to the recognition of this beachfront resort in Limassol as one of the best hotels in Cyprus here in our Resorts and Retreats Awards 2026. Contact: Yohanna D’Elia, Marketing Manager Company: Columbia Beach Resort Web Address: columbiaresort.com Best Luxury Beach Resort 2026 – Cyprus A five-star property and the only luxury wellness resort in the picturesque village of Pissouri to be located on the Blue Flag Pissouri Bay beach, Columbia Beach Resort is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group and offers the highest levels of quality and service in the industry. However, it is much more than just a list of superlatives, and we caught up with Yohanna D’Elia, Columbia Beach Resort’s marketing manager, to find out what makes it such a special location. Set right on the secluded shores of Pissouri Bay, Columbia Beach Resort sees the coastal charm of its serene location meet the unmistakable character of Mediterranean lifestyle and culture. Its elegant spaces are filled with thoughtful touches that complement the beauty of both the coastline and the hotel’s surroundings, resulting in a stay that stays with you. Beginning with its rooms, Columbia Beach Resort’s suites offer a comfortable base for peaceful days spent beside the bay, and the blend of luxury amenities and beautiful views they offer make them ideal for shaping the quieter moments of a holiday. A number of suites are available spanning all different sizes and prices, from Junior Suites and Cape Suites, which are perfect couples looking for a romantic stay, through to its Executive, Eagle’s Nest, and Family Suites for larger groups with children. Across these rooms, guests can enjoy such amenities as en-suite bathrooms with luxury toiletries, lounge areas, air conditioning, private patios or balconies, a Nespresso machine, and even a bathrobe/slippers and beach towels. Every stay in one of these suites also includes unlimited access to its spa facilities, welcome amenities in the form of special treats, and a buffet breakfast every morning, the latter at either Bacchus or Cape Aspro, two of the three restaurants guests can enjoy during their stay. Each of the restaurants have been purposefully designed to reflect the mood at different moments. Be it the rustic Cypriot and Greek feel of Apollo Tavern, which offers fresh-caught fish and seafood, local ingredients, and a modern twist on classic dishes; the generous breakfasts or gourmet dinners served next to the west pool at Baccus; or the all-time Mediterranean flavours dished up in the AIS-May26036 relaxed, open-air setting of Cape Aspro, every location offers something truly magnificent in its own right for guests to truly savour. Excitingly, Yohanna told us how the culinary experiences served up at Columbia Beach Resort are set to be elevated this year, from the introduction of the FIRE + RAW concept to Baccus, which will see premium meats cooked over fire and complemented by raw delicacies, to the delivery of Cyprus Night, a summer event that blends a lavish Greek and Cypriot buffet with traditional music and dancing. Outside of its culinary options, Columbia Beach Resort is set apart by Hébe Spa, an awardwinning spa where timeless rituals of renewal are delivered, inspired by the Greek goddess of youth. Be it a tailored treatment, a visit to its sauna, or a dip in either its indoor pool or its jacuzzi, every moment in this location is designed to restore balance and leave guests feeling revitalised after spending a few hours just for them. This is just the beginning of the wellness journey guests can explore during their stay at Columbia Beach Resort, which also offers activities such as squash, tennis, padel, and fitness classes within the resort. Since the hotel is nestled in a tropical paradise, there are countless opportunities to go beyond the bay
