Pleasant Rock

Located in the picturesque birthplace of the Greek goddess of love, guests can't help but fall for this stunning villa overlooking the glistening blue waves of the Mediterranean Sea. Here to greet you on arrival is the lush plant-lined swimming pool, scenic sunbathing spots and balcony views of the sparkling shoreline. Inside, you can kick back on the sociable sectional, grab a refreshing drink from the fridge and plan the day's activities around the dining table. White-washed walls and wooden window frames draw the eye to the villa's wonderful views, while the comfortable air-conditioned rooms provide respite from the heat after long coastal walks and lazy beach days. But we doubt you'll spend much time indoors when there's a beautiful shaded terrace area to lounge about on. The resort this villa resides on offers a golf course, spa, gym, horse riding and restaurants to entertain you – that is, if you can pull yourself away from the pool. As daylight fades and the sky begins to change colors, cool off in the outdoor shower, fire up the barbecue, and open a bottle of Cypriot wine.

Home truths:
*The swimming pool is only heated during the winter months
*Cots and highchairs are available on request
*It is possible to travel around this area without a car, but we would recommend one for better exploring Cyprus and this resort's facilities
*Delicate sleepers may want to pack an eye mask as the curtains still allow in morning light in the bedrooms
