Best Paphos Hotels with Kids Clubs for Families (2026)
10 family-friendly hotels with kids club in Paphos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
You booked Paphos because you want a week where the kids are entertained for three hours every morning while you read by the pool. The problem: half the hotels that advertise a kids club on Booking.com actually have a dusty playroom that opens when someone asks. This page lists the five Paphos hotels where the kids club is a real programme — staffed by trained animators, running 10am to 5pm with a proper schedule, open most of the year. Prices start at 163 EUR/night at the Mayfair up to 704 EUR at Coral Beach. If you also want an all-inclusive package in Paphos, we have a separate guide for that.
Paphos is compact: airport is 15 minutes from Kato Paphos by taxi (25 EUR), buses run every 20 minutes on the coastal road. The Harbour and Tombs of the Kings are buggy-friendly; the Archaeological Park is not (gravel paths, zero shade — go before 10am or skip with toddlers). Eat at Ta Bastouni for proper Cypriot meze, Demokritos for seafood on the seafront. Coral Bay beach has a lifeguard in summer and a gentle shelf for little kids. Avoid the Aphrodite's Rock drive with under-5s — the pebble beach hurts bare feet.
🧒Why Paphos is a reliable choice for kids-club hotels
Paphos kids clubs split into two models. Resort-style clubs (Olympic Lagoon, Coral Beach, Leonardo Cypria Bay) run from 10am to 5pm with morning crafts, pool games after lunch, and a mini-disco before dinner. Boutique clubs (Almyra) cap at 15 kids and feel more like a summer playgroup — less structured, more personal attention. Both cost nothing on top of your room rate if you booked direct, but Almyra's costs 25 EUR a session if you walk in.
The season matters more than you think. Most kids clubs open May to October only. Off-season bookings at Elysium or Annabelle still get you the pool and kids pool, but no animators. If you are travelling in April or November, ask the hotel directly before booking — several websites list the club as year-round when it is not.
Age rules are stricter than in Turkey or Spain. Under-4s are not accepted in any Paphos kids club except Azia (from age 3). Babysitting is available at most 4 and 5-star hotels (Almyra, Coral Beach, Annabelle, Olympic Lagoon) for 15 to 20 EUR an hour, book 24 hours ahead. Teens 13+ get their own zone at Olympic Lagoon and Leonardo Cypria Bay only.
Parent's take
We stayed at Leonardo Cypria Bay with a 5-year-old and an 8-year-old in late June. The kids club ran 10am to 12pm, break for lunch, then 2pm to 5pm. Day one our 5-year-old cried for ten minutes, then we picked her up at noon with a painted seashell and a new best friend. By day three she was asking to go early. The staff speak Greek, English, and some Russian. The only gap: no club on arrival day (Sundays for most tour operators), which felt brutal after a 4am flight.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in Paphos with kids club, sorted by guest rating.
Elysium Hotel
Kato Paphos
Wonderful
3,052 reviews
A luxury 5-star beside the Tombs of the Kings archaeological site, with the highest guest rating in Paphos at 9.5. The Angel's Kids Club takes children from age 3 to 12 with themed daily activities, a two-level soft play area, and interactive floor games. A separate crèche handles babies from 4 months. Multiple pools including an indoor heated pool and a kids paddling pool. Full-board with free kids meal upgrade rather than strict all-inclusive.
From
€297/night
Why families love Elysium Hotel
The Elysium is the nicest hotel we have stayed in with children. The kids club was free, drop-off, and our 5-year-old asked to go back every morning. The crèche took our 2-year-old too, which we did not expect from a luxury hotel. The grounds overlook the Tombs of the Kings and the pool area is beautiful. Food quality was excellent, with the kids eating free on our half-board plan. At 297 EUR/night it is not cheap, but the level of service and the sheer relief of having both kids happily supervised made it worth every cent.
Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos
Kato Paphos
Wonderful
385 reviews
The full-package all-inclusive resort in Paphos. Six themed restaurants with à la carte menus, five bars serving unlimited premium branded spirits, and over 150 daily activities. Five lagoon-style pools with waterfalls, water slides, and zero-level entries for toddlers. Three dedicated kids programmes: Little Monsters for young children, Olympic Soccer Academy, and a Teenz Club. Seven nightly musical shows. This is what 587 EUR/night buys you.
From
€587/night
Why families love Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos
Olympic Lagoon is not a hotel, it is a self-contained holiday. Our kids did not ask to leave the resort once in six days. The Little Monsters club was genuinely good with trained early years staff, and the teens programme kept our 12-year-old busy until 10pm. We ate at a different restaurant every night without paying extra. The lagoon pools with their Mayan temple feature and water slides were the highlight. At 587 EUR/night for a family of four, it costs more than twice the Mayfair. But everything is included and the quality is noticeably higher. If your budget stretches, this is the one.
Azia Resort & Spa
Chlorakas
Wonderful
599 reviews
A 5-star resort on the Chlorakas coast that takes family services seriously. Three age-specific clubs: a baby crèche from 6 months, a kids club for 2.5 to 12-year-olds running 9:30am to 4pm daily, and a teens club until 11pm. Half-board and full-board packages available with all-inclusive upgrade. The spa offers treatments designed for children alongside the adult menu.
From
€258/night
Why families love Azia Resort & Spa
Azia was the only resort we found in Paphos with a crèche that accepted our 18-month-old. Two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon gave us actual downtime. The older kids club was well-organised with themed days and a kids disco at 8:30pm. The pool is not huge but the kids section was shallow enough for our toddler. Food quality was a clear step up from the 4-star resorts. Our only complaint: the beach across the road is pebbly, so the pool was the main swimming spot.
Coral Beach Hotel & Resort
Coral Bay
Wonderful
1,905 reviews
A 5-star resort on its own private sandy beach at the northern end of Coral Bay. Seven restaurants, a large outdoor pool, kids club for ages 3-12, and an indoor play area. The private beach section is groomed daily and has shallow water ideal for young swimmers.
From
€225/night
Why families love Coral Beach Hotel & Resort
The Coral Beach Resort felt like a self-contained village. Our kids spent mornings at the beach (the hotel section is roped off and cleaned, so no cigarette butts or broken glass), afternoons at the kids club, and evenings exploring the different restaurants. The buffet had a dedicated kids station at child height. At 225 EUR for a 5-star beachfront, it punches well above its price point. Only downside: it is a 10-minute drive from Paphos town, so you need a car for evening outings.
Alexander The Great Beach Hotel
Kato Paphos
Wonderful
1,063 reviews
A beachfront 4-star on Poseidonos Avenue with its own crescent-shaped sandy beach. The kids pool is separate from the main pool, and the kids club runs arts, crafts, and beach games daily. Walking distance to the harbour promenade and restaurants.
From
€298/night
Why families love Alexander The Great Beach Hotel
The Alexander sits right on the Kato Paphos promenade, which made evenings easy. Kids finished dinner at the hotel buffet, then we walked along the seafront to the harbour for ice cream. The beach is small but well-maintained, and the kids club kept our 6-year-old entertained while we read by the pool. Staff remembered our room number by day two, which sounds small but made everything smoother. The only catch is the price: at 298 EUR it is not cheap for a 4-star, but you are paying for the location.
Annabelle
Kato Paphos
Excellent
500 reviews
A landmark 5-star hotel on Poseidonos Avenue in Kato Paphos with tropical gardens stretching down to the sea. The pool is set among mature palm trees and bougainvillea. Family rooms and suites with connecting options. Kids club runs in summer with supervised activities. The hotel has a private beach area. Three restaurants including a Mediterranean terrace. Walking distance to Paphos harbour and the archaeological park.
From
€281/night
Why families love Annabelle
The Annabelle feels like old-school Mediterranean luxury without being stuffy about kids. The gardens are gorgeous and the pool setting under palm trees is genuinely relaxing. Our kids loved the garden paths and the little stream running through the grounds. The kids club kept them busy while we had a proper lunch at the terrace restaurant. Rooms are large by Paphos standards. The private beach area is pebbly but has sunbeds and a small pier for jumping in. At 281 EUR/night it is not cheap, but the overall quality makes it feel earned.
Excellent
609 reviews
WellClub runs a small kids club (ages 4-11, cap 15 kids) in a dedicated room next to the main pool, open 10am to 12pm and 3pm to 5pm. The two pools include a shallow kids pool with a mushroom fountain. Sea views from the upper floors reach all the way to Coral Bay.
From
€225/night
Why families love WellClub Resort - Wellness & SeaView Suites
Smaller and quieter than the big resorts in Kato Paphos. Staff know your kids by day two. The walk into town is 25 minutes along the coastal path — doable with older kids, tough with a buggy. Food is buffet-only but the kid-friendly buffet is genuinely aimed at children (mild flavours, pasta, chips, fresh fruit). No water slides, which the 8-year-olds noticed; the 5-year-olds did not mind.
Leonardo Cypria Bay
Yeroskipou
Excellent
2,598 reviews
Leonardo Cypria Bay runs the most structured kids club in Paphos: mornings 10am-12pm (crafts, treasure hunts), afternoons 2pm-5pm (pool games, sports), mini-disco 8pm, ages 4-12. The resort sits beachfront in Yeroskipou, 4 km east of Paphos centre, with 5 restaurants and a direct path to the sea.
From
€307/night
Why families love Leonardo Cypria Bay
Big machine, but it works. The animator team is 8 people, so the energy is consistent all week. Our 5-year-old was coming back with face paint every day. The 8-year-old discovered the Teen Zone (13+) was off-limits and pouted for a day, then joined the pool tournament and got over it. Food is the weak point: 5 restaurants but the 3 à la carte slots fill up on day one, so book immediately.
Almyra
Kato Paphos
Excellent
1,115 reviews
Almyra keeps its kids club small: 15 kids max, ages 4-11, morning sessions only (10am-12pm), plus a dedicated baby and toddler suite (the Baby Go Lightly programme includes cots, steriliser, baby monitor). It is a boutique 5-star, quieter than the big resorts, 10 minutes on foot to Paphos harbour.
From
€394/night
Why families love Almyra
Best choice if you want design-hotel polish without losing the kids programme. The Almyraspa offers parent-and-child back massages which sounds ridiculous and is actually lovely. The 3 pools include a shallow plunge for toddlers and a proper 25m lap pool the adults can use at 7am. Food is above average (Mosaiko restaurant is legit). Downside: the club stops at noon, so afternoons you are on duty.
Mayfair Hotel & Gardens
Kato Paphos
Very Good
1,319 reviews
The Mayfair runs a genuine all-inclusive programme with rotating themed buffet nights (Greek, Italian, Asian, BBQ), a snack bar open until 5pm, and drinks from 10am to 11pm including cocktails and local spirits. The jungle-themed Aqua Splash water park has slides for kids aged 2-14 and operates April through November. Three freshwater outdoor pools plus a heated indoor pool for cooler days.
From
€217/night
Why families love Mayfair Hotel & Gardens
The Aqua Splash kept our 6-year-old busy for hours while we sat poolside with actual cold drinks that were included. The buffet had a decent kids section with pasta and nuggets every night, and the themed dinners broke the monotony. Rooms are basic but clean. The kids club ran crafts and games from 10am to 12:30pm and 3pm to 5pm, and the mini disco at 8pm gave us 90 minutes for a quiet dinner. For 217 EUR/night all-in with two kids, we could not find better value in Paphos.
💡Tips for choosing a Paphos hotel with a real kids club
- 1Book a sea-view room at Leonardo Cypria Bay or Almyra, not a garden room. The garden rooms face the car park and the highway noise wakes kids at 6am. The sea-view premium is 30-50 EUR a night and worth it.
- 2Check the kids club age cut-off BEFORE booking. Coral Beach and Leonardo Cypria Bay take ages 4-12. Almyra takes 4-11. Azia takes 3-12. If your child is 3 and you want a club, Azia is your only option in Paphos.
- 3Arrive on a weekday if possible. Most hotels run a reduced Saturday and Sunday programme because their animator rotation changes. A Tuesday arrival gets you 5 full club days out of 7.
- 4Bring sun shoes, not flip-flops. Paphos kids pools are tiled and slippery. All five hotels sell plastic beach shoes at reception for 12 EUR but you will pay 4 EUR at Decathlon before your flight.
- 5Reserve the à la carte restaurants the day you arrive, not when you want to eat. Olympic Lagoon and Coral Beach have 3-4 speciality restaurants each, and the good slots go in the first 48 hours of your stay.
