TRUE ROMANCE

Jet off to the magical Mediterrane d of Cyprus, which is easy on the mileage but not short on luxury.
TRUE ROMANCE

When it comes to booking that sun-soaked getaway with your other half or securing that dream honeymoon location, you may not have considered Cyprus. But for those who don't want to travel too far afield, it can be a gorgeous couples' retreat, full of opportunities for sunset walks and perfecting that Instagram paradise-style snap with your partner.

Just a four-hour flight from London, the island is home to sublime luxury beach hotels, giving you the chance to cosy up while gazing at the Mediterranean Sea. According to Greek mythology, Cyprus is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, and we can see why it's the land of romance.

PAPHOS

WHERE TO STAY We stayed at the adults-only Ivi Mare in Paphos, which offers the ultimate environment for complete rest and relaxation. This five-star resort is located a 30-minute coastal walk away from the town’s beautiful harbour. Chilling out starts at the hotel’s stunning pool, complete with hot tub. The Utopia Pool Bar menu offers everything from local wines to signature cocktails and there’s really no need to move from your sunbed or beach club-style daybed because you can order an afternoon (or morning – it’s five o’clock somewhere!) tipple delivered directly to you via the Ivi’s app. And there are no early mornings rushing with a towel trying to reserve a sunbed as there are enough beds for full capacity at the hotel. The on-site spa offers a wide selection of treatments, and they’re all inspired by Greek history. You can enjoy a couples’ massage or facial before unwinding in the sauna or steam room.
