In a nutshell
- Paphos on the west coast of Cyprus is a fantastic base for beach vacations, culture, and great food — with beautiful beaches, a picturesque harbor, and plenty of highlights to explore.
- We’ve personally picked the best places to stay in Paphos — from centrally located apartments to all-inclusive beach resorts.
- Best hotel in the city center: Downtown Park Hotel — modern, well-located, and great value
- Our personal all-inclusive favorite: Atlantica Golden Beach (adults-only) — we stayed here ourselves and loved it
- Best for families: the Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel — water slides, a mini club, and beachfront access
Downtown Park
- Average price per night: approx. €150
- Ideal for: families, friends, couples, and solo travelers
The Downtown Park is located right in the heart of Paphos and offers modern apartments in a perfect spot for exploring the city on foot.
The apartments are pleasantly spacious, each with a balcony or terrace and a kitchenette so you can handle your own meals.
You can add breakfast if you’d like, though all-inclusive isn’t available here. On the plus side, restaurants, bars, Kings Avenue Mall, and the harbor are just a few steps away.
Beyond the rooms themselves, the hotel has two outdoor pools, a fitness center, and a sauna. It’s the perfect base if you want to stay centrally in Cyprus without spending a fortune.

The rooms and suites are stylishly decorated, some with a private whirlpool or terrace.

Atlantica Golden Beach Hotel Paphos
- Average price per night: approx. €180
- Ideal for: couples and friends looking for relaxation and a touch of luxury
Now for our personal top pick: the adults-only Atlantica Golden Beach. We stayed here for a week ourselves and were completely won over.
The hotel sits right on the beach with its own private beach access. There’s also a large pool and a seriously beautiful outdoor area with palm trees and ocean views.
Many of the rooms share those ocean views. Others don’t face the sea, but they make up for it with a private terrace — some even come with a private pool.
Breakfast is included. We’d strongly recommend going for the all-inclusive option — it covers 24/7 drinks, a pool bar, and meals at all three of the hotel’s restaurants.

The rooms are bright and functional, with many offering direct ocean views. Breakfast is always included, and all-inclusive is available as an add-on. Buffet restaurants, bars, and a solid lineup of sports activities — tennis, mini golf, and more — keep everyone entertained.
The Athena Beach Hotel really does nail the combination of beachfront location, leisure options, and family comfort in one seamless package.

Orange Tree Studio
- Average price per night: approx. €120
- Ideal for: solo travelers, couples, friends, and budget-conscious travelers
Last but not least, here’s a budget-friendly bonus pick: the Orange Tree Studio.
The place is quietly tucked away a little outside of Paphos, but only a few minutes from the beach and the main attractions.
The small, private studio sleeps two to three people and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, terrace, and garden. It’s ideal for independent travelers who want flexibility over all-inclusive convenience.
There’s no breakfast or all-inclusive here, but you get complete independence in return. If you want to stay in Cyprus away from the big resorts, this charming little retreat is well worth a look.
