Lazy mornings, warm water, and plates that refill themselves—sometimes that’s all you need from a getaway. Golden Coast Beach Hotel delivers exactly that without the fuss. Couples searching online for an all inclusive hotel or a relaxing beach hotel Cyprus will find this four-star property an easy fit.
Setting: right on the sand, away from the noise
Protaras is known for busy bars and karaoke. Yet, Golden Coast sits at the quieter Pernera end of the bay, sharing a stretch of Blue-Flag sand with only a handful of cafés and a small fishing harbour. The result is a calm atmosphere where you can still access nightlife—follow the coastal promenade for ten minutes if you want it—while keeping the resort’s soundtrack mostly to lapping waves and the occasional breeze through date palms.
Sleeping well is the new luxury
Rooms are uncluttered, with neutral fabrics, parquet floors, ample wardrobe space, and balconies big enough for yoga at sunrise. Upgrade options include panoramic sea-view suites—worth the splurge if you like spotting the first fishing boats each morning. Every unit carries the essentials of modern travel: fast Wi-Fi, smart TV, rainfall shower, and USB charging ports. Blackout drapes and memory-foam mattresses mean you can laze guilt-free until brunch.
Eating and drinking, simplified
An all-inclusive hotel only works when the food is good. At Golden Coast, themes change daily, so one night, you might sample slow-cooked kleftiko and mezze, the next, enjoy sushi rolls and tempura vegetables under lanterns by the pool. Four restaurants keep queues short, while two beach bars pour iced cocktails that stay cold thanks to thick glassware rather than flimsy plastic. If you still prefer à-la-carte, swap one buffet dinner per stay for the Antamoma events terrace, where local musicians often play rebetiko sets against a pink sunset.
Slow days, gentle nights
Indoors, Aegeospas offers a hammam, steam room and treatment list centred on Cypriot olive oil and carob-seed scrubs—simple formulas that leave a subtle scent rather than overpowering perfume. Outside, take a paddleboard at dawn when the bay is sheet-glass calm. Later, stake out a cabana on the grassy tier above the sand; bar staff glide past every half-hour, ready to top up iced coffee or bring a fruit platter. Organised activities are present but optional: aqua yoga, stretching, and low-key quiz nights that wrap up by 11 p.m., keeping the vibe relaxed.
Exploring beyond the loungers
Golden Coast is the most convenient hotel in Protaras for boat excursions, because the marina sits practically at the end of the garden. Sign up for a two-hour catamaran cruise that pauses at the Blue Lagoon for snorkelling, or rent a small self-drive boat if you like to steer your own course. On land, hire bicycles from reception and pedal a flat coastal route to Pernera Boardwalk, stopping for a village salad in the shade of Ayios Elias church. Cape Greco National Forest Park, with its sea caves and panoramic clifftop chapel, is 15 minutes away by taxi.
Details that elevate the stay

- Discreet service: towels appear, sand is swept, drinks are refilled—without ever feeling intrusive
Why this beachfront hotel stands out
Cyprus has no shortage of places by the sea, yet many feel either too vast or too cookie-cutter. Golden Coast manages the sweet spot between intimacy and variety. You can spend an entire week on property and not repeat a bar stool, but you’ll still see familiar faces from the team who remember how you take your coffee. The location removes transport stress, the dining solves daily decisions, and the calm setting lets time stretch out like the horizon.
For couples, solo travelers or small groups seeking a no-drama Mediterranean break, this beach hotel Cyprus keeps things blissfully straightforward. Book a sea-view room, pack light, and let the days unfold at their own unhurried pace.
