Coral Bay Cyprus a Great Cyprus Holiday Resort

Coral bay is situated a few kilometers north of Paphos and is home to some of the most exclusive hotels in the area and boast a beautiful sandy beach. All this makes it a perfect place for families and couples alike who want a luxury holiday with everything in one place including water sports, beach tavernas and plenty of good restaurants too. In fact if your ideal Cyprus holiday involves total relaxation and pampering Coral bay will hit the spot for you.

A few kilometers away is the Akamas Peninsula an area of outstanding natural beauty with it's unique fauna, flora and several rare species of butterfly too. Lara bay is a yearly stop off for turtles so it's also well worth a look there too but there will be times when they are laying so be careful not to disturb them or risk damaging any eggs. The Peninsula is also a popular place with divers and diving schools throughout the summer due to its beautiful clear Mediterranean waters and safe beaches. If you have never tried scuba diving before there are plenty of schools running short courses for beginners and novice divers of all abilities so why not have a go?

Coral bay is a fairly new resort so all the hotels and apartments are quite modern with every conceivable luxury the discerning holiday maker could ever wish for. Many of the luxury hotels have beauty spa's, hair salons and a whole host of other facilities to cater for your every need. You should be aware that some of the more up market hotels will have a dress code involving long pants and shirts for dinner so if you want a more laid back approach it's best to check first before you book. That said there are lots of modern self catering apartments equipped with everything from fully fitted kitchens to outside barbecue areas for that all important alfresco cooking and outside eating.

Within a short distance of Coral bay is the historic town of Paphos with it's pretty harbor and medieval fort. The harbor is thronged with trendy cafe bars and restaurants where you can relax whilst taking in the view out over the Mediterranean Ocean or just watch the little fishing boats returning with their wares. In fact there are many excellent fish restaurants that serve locally caught produce and it doesn't come any fresher than that. Paphos is in fact two towns in one, the old and the new Paphos or Kato Paphos as it is also known. The old town and harbor occupy the lower laying area whilst the modern (new town) is higher up on the hill. If you fancy a wander there is a large market at the top of the hill which sells just about everything and anything. Paphos is also world renowned for it's history and monuments so there is plenty to occupy most culture vultures too.

There are certain restrictions in force in the Coral bay and paphos areas concerning property development which over the years has stopped too many tall structures being built in the area. If you are searching for property to buy in Cyprus either for investment or as a holiday home the Coral bay area is very exclusive. The downside of this is that prices here are among the highest on the Island which isn't helped by the close proximity of Cyprus's golf courses that continues to keep the area very exclusive. On the other hand if you love golf and have plenty of money to spend you will be in heaven because all the golf courses in Cyprus will be right on your doorstep.

There is no doubt that the Coral bay area is still developing and property prices there look set to rise for some time to come. Bearing that in mind and the increasing popularity of golf the whole area is a hotbed of investment which in turn should further add to it's desirability. All in all Coral bay makes great sense as both a holiday venue and a Cyprus property investment too for those in the enviable position of being able to afford it. Whatever you decide enjoy Cyprus and Coral bay.
