Marriott recently opened the first Marriott International and first Luxury Collection property in Cyprus, Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Limassol. The property is additionally the first international luxury-branded resort in Cyprus.

“We are excited to put Cyprus on the map for our global explorers as our newest property in the region,” said Anthony Ingham, global brand leader, The Luxury Collection. “With a deep-rooted history that today can still be experienced by visiting iconic landmarks such as the medieval Limassol Castle, paired with modern architecture and cultural happenings, the vibrant coastal city of Limassol is one of the most up and coming destinations in the world today.”

Just outside the southern city of Limassol, the resort offers expansive gardens and beach, with nearly 300 guestrooms and suites, many with ocean-view terraces. The 52 suites include two-story options with private pool decks. The adults-only wing includes 16 suites and an adults-only pool.

On-resort dining options include Dafne, for traditional Cypriot dishes; Il Teatro, serving Italian fare al fresco; Islands, a unique, water-surrounded dining option offering Mediterranean seafood; and The Grill, for elegant dinners. Culinary experiences throughout guests’ stays include weekly wine tastings and traditional Cyprus coffee rituals.

The resort’s Kalloni Spa features two outdoor and two indoor seawater pools, a thalassotherapy treatment menu, barber shop, salon and fitness center. Other amenities include three tennis courts and a diving center.

“From our recent opening in the storied city of Yerevan to a debut in the historic country of Cyprus, The Luxury Collection continues to offer a gateway to the world’s most exciting and desirable locations,” said Jenni Benzaquen, vice president, luxury brands, Europe, Marriott International. “We are thrilled to welcome our newest Luxury Collection hotel in Europe and our first hotel in Cyprus, offering an extraordinary opportunity for our guests to discover this vividly beautiful island, crystal blue waters and unique cultural offerings.”
