Villas in Coral Bay

Coral Bay has supermarkets and mini markets which are perfect for stocking up your luxury villa when you arrive, or when you want to cook on the BBQ. Alternatively, in the old town area of Paphos, 20 minutes from Coral Bay, you will find a fruit and fish market. Visit on a Saturday morning when the locals are around to see who the most popular stall holders are. Paphos Harbour also has a choice of shops and an occasional street market where you will be able to buy souvenirs for friends and family.

You won't be short of restaurant options when you book a Coral Bay villa holiday. If you’re looking for a lively atmosphere, the Coral Bay Strip has plenty of cocktail bars and pubs with live music and karaoke lined up to keep you entertained until the early hours of the morning. For dining, you'll find options to suit most tastes from steak nights to Japanese teppanyaki, as well as many Cypriot dishes and fast food outlets.

A short drive uphill takes you into the heart of Peyia Village. There are several traditional tavernas with excellent local fayre, as well as restaurants offering international cuisine. Or, the small village of St George has its own little harbour and a handful of charming tavernas with seafood very much their speciality, a short drive away.

The horseshoe shaped Coral Bay beach is wide, flat with fine golden sand. You can snorkel in the crystal calm waters, set off on a catamaran trip, or parasail over the sea. Alternatively, you could just enjoy soaking up that Cypriot sun at your luxury Coral Bay villa, lying on a sun lounger. When you want a snack or drink, there is a simple beach bar. The slightly quieter Corallia Beach is separated from Coral Bay beach by a headland is great for snorkelling and relaxing. When you want some shade and a bite to eat, try the taverna by the beach. Alternatively, there is Potima Beach just a short drive away where you can enjoy the most beautiful sunsets. The beach bar there has furniture made out of recycled objects - an interesting place to visit and have lunch.

Coral Bay is a great choice for a family villa holiday with plenty of activities. The Ithaki crazy golf course is just off the main strip and has a children's play area too. Why not try the Coral Bay go-karting centre and organise a few friendly family races? Alternatively, Paphos Zoo is around 15 minutes' drive away from Coral Bay. Or take a ride into Paphos Harbour where you'll find a choice of boat trips to see this stunning coastline.

Akamas Peninsula is one of the most popular places to visit, with breathtaking lagoons and secluded bays - perfect terrain for a hike or cycling along the trails. If you prefer to take it easy, why not opt for a jeep safari tour to marvel at the amazing scenery. Foodies will discover several vineyards across the Akamas Peninsula and beyond to visit and sample the range of wines. Just north of Coral Bay are the sea caves and a shipwreck which has become a local landmark. There are tavernas at both where you can enjoy the spectacular sunset over the sea.

The nearby town of Paphos is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well worth a visit. It's a charming place with numerous archaeological sites, including Paphos Castle, mosaics and Tombs of the Kings, to name just a few.
