Restaurant and Bar Awards 2026 | 15 Best Resort Dining Experiences 2026 – Cyprus Set on the secluded shores of Pissouri Bay in Limassol, where the Mediterranean meets the dramatic white cliffs of Cape Aspro, Columbia Beach Resort occupies one of the most striking coastal locations in Cyprus. Designed to resemble a traditional Cypriot village, the award-winning five-star resort is defined by honey-coloured stone suites, terracotta roofs, and fragrant landscaped gardens that lead gently toward the sea. Complementing this tranquil setting are several distinctive dining venues and vibrant bars, whose quality and variety have earned the resort recognition in this programme. ‘Slow luxury’ is perhaps the phrase that best reflects the philosophy of Columbia Beach Resort. Here, meaningful experiences and a sense of time well spent take precedence over unnecessary extravagance. Nowhere is this ethos more evident than in the resort’s carefully curated dining offering, where guests can explore a range of flavours and atmospheres designed to suit every mood and occasion. Across the resort’s restaurants, culinary experiences range from refined gourmet dining to relaxed seaside meals and traditional Cypriot flavours. Each venue delivers its own character while maintaining a shared commitment to quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and warm Mediterranean hospitality. For those seeking an elegant evening experience, Bacchus Restaurant presents the resort’s gourmet-dining destination with a menu focusing on the finest meat cuts. With high ceilings, sophisticated décor, and an inviting atmosphere, the restaurant provides the perfect setting for refined cuisine. Here, guests can savour carefully crafted dishes designed to showcase both culinary creativity and the finest seasonal ingredients. Equally memorable is Apollo Tavern, where the spirit of traditional Cypriot hospitality comes to life with a menu that emphasises fresh fish and traditional casseroles. Set within a charming rustic environment, the restaurant offers authentic island flavours and classic mezze enjoyed beneath the open sky. Guests can sample a rich variety of regional favourites while sharing plates in the convivial style that defines Cypriot dining culture. Meanwhile, Cape Aspro Restaurant offers a relaxed, family-friendly experience with spectacular views over Pissouri Bay. With its breezy al-fresco setting, the restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes ideal for laid-back evening meals by the sea, creating the perfect backdrop for guests to enjoy the island’s sunshine and coastal scenery. For something entirely different, 7 C’s Bar introduces a distinctive sushi experience within the resort. Blending contemporary flavours with a relaxed social atmosphere, it offers guests the opportunity to enjoy fresh sushi alongside creative drinks in an elegant yet informal setting. Complementing these dining venues are several bars spread throughout the resort, each providing its own unique atmosphere. From stylish cocktail spaces perfect for an evening aperitif to relaxed beachside settings where guests can unwind with refreshing drinks, these venues add another dimension to the overall resort experience. Of course, Columbia Beach Resort offers much more than its acclaimed restaurants and bars. Guests can rejuvenate at the award-winning Hébe Spa, named after the Greek goddess of youth, or spend their days enjoying the impressive lagoon-style pool, the Blue Flag beach, and an array of sporting activities including tennis, squash, padel, water sports, and the resort’s signature SUP Yoga sessions in the bay. Families are equally well catered for thanks to the internationally recognised Den Kids Club, which offers engaging creative and educational AIS-Jan26215 activities for younger guests while parents relax and enjoy the resort’s many amenities. Beyond the resort itself, the surrounding region invites exploration, from the charming streets of nearby Pissouri Village to the cultural landscapes, monasteries, and vineyards of the Troodos Mountains. Yet for many guests, the serene beauty and thoughtful hospitality of Columbia Beach Resort provide everything needed for an unforgettable Mediterranean escape. Blending traditional island character with contemporary five-star comfort, Columbia Beach Resort remains one of Cyprus’s most distinguished destinations. It is therefore our privilege to recognise the resort’s exceptional culinary offering with this title in the 2026 edition of our Restaurant & Bar Awards.
