Pet-Friendly Family Hotels in Paphos, Cyprus
4 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Paphos . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Cyprus is a pet-passport country, which means UK and European families can fly their dog to Paphos without quarantine. Paphos itself has the best dog-walking infrastructure on the island, with the long flat coastal path from Kato Paphos to Coral Bay and a string of grassy parks behind the hotel strip. The four hotels below all allow medium dogs in standard rooms, supply pet bowls and a pet basket on arrival, and either have dog-friendly beach access nearby or arrange ground-floor rooms with direct garden access for evening walks.
Paphos is the gentlest of the big Cyprus resort towns. The pace is half a notch slower than Limassol or Ayia Napa, the streets are wider, and dogs are part of daily life because cats already are. Locals walk their own dogs along the coastal path morning and evening, so your dog gets to socialise without anyone giving you side-eye. The archaeological park inside town is a 10-minute walk for everyone.

🐕Why bring the dog to Paphos with the kids
Pet fees in Paphos are usually 20 to 30 euros per dog per night and include the pet welcome kit: bowls, basket and a small treat. The four hotels below all cap pet size at around 15 kilos, with some flexibility for older or quieter larger dogs. Ask before you arrive, send a photo if your dog is borderline, and the front desk almost always says yes for a stay over four nights.
Dog beaches in the area: Geroskipou has the closest official dog beach about 2 kilometres east of the hotel strip, with parking and a small kiosk. Petra tou Romiou further west allows dogs on a quiet stretch outside July and August. The Akamas peninsula is fully off-lead and gets cooler at altitude, which keeps dogs comfortable on hot days.
Parent's take
The dog made the trip easier, not harder. Walking the same coastal path twice a day burnt off our six-year-old's energy as fast as the dog's, and the morning sea air sent everyone to bed early. The only thing we underestimated was shade. Carry a foldable bowl and a small umbrella for both kid and dog after 11am in July.

Latchi, Polis Chrysochous
Wonderful
542 reviews
Thalassa is a small adults-and-pets-leaning resort in Latchi, 40 minutes north of central Paphos, where the road quietens and the Akamas peninsula begins. Four restaurants on site, garden rooms with private terraces, and a 5-minute walk to a sand and pebble beach where dogs are tolerated outside July to August.

Why families love Thalassa Boutique Hotel & Spa
Stayed with a chocolate lab and our seven-year-old. The hotel was used to mid-size dogs. Pet bowls and a basket were in the room when we arrived. Beach in front of the hotel allows dogs in shoulder season. The path along the harbour to Latchi village is shaded and a perfect ten-minute walk for the dog. Distance from Paphos airport means a hire car is essential.
Wonderful

Leonardo Plaza is a four-star resort with nine restaurants and a casual family vibe rather than the formal feel of the Annabelle. Pet rooms are on the ground floor opening onto the lawn, and the size policy is more relaxed than the five-stars: dogs up to 20 kilos welcome with prior notice.

€230/night
Why families love Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa
Reserved a ground-floor pet room with a small private terrace. Pet bowls came up to the room within an hour of asking. Nine restaurants meant we could always find a terrace that worked with the dog. Kids meals are reliable rather than exciting but the size of the resort and the variety of pools kept everyone happy for a week.
Annabelle
Kato Paphos
Excellent
1,483 reviews
The Annabelle is a landmark family resort in the centre of Kato Paphos with a tropical garden running down to its own sandy beach. The pet welcome programme is unusually thorough: bowls, basket, treat bag and a list of vetted dog walkers if parents want to slip away for dinner.

€350/night
Why families love Annabelle
Our family-of-four-plus-dog stayed in a garden suite on the ground floor with direct grass access. Bowls and a basket were in the room. The gardens themselves are huge and dog-friendly on lead. The main private beach does not allow dogs but the coastal path right outside the hotel goes straight to the harbour. Pet fee was 25 euros per night, fair for a five-star.
Almyra
Kato Paphos
Excellent
1,421 reviews
Almyra is the design-led sister of the Annabelle, run by the same family with a younger crowd and a stronger focus on garden suites with outdoor space. Pet welcome kit on arrival, ground-floor garden suites with private grass access, and a dedicated dog-walking route through the gardens marked on the hotel map.

€320/night
Why families love Almyra
Booked the garden suite which has a private patch of lawn. The dog had her own door to the grass which was the best feature of the trip. Annabelle's beach is shared so the dog comes along on the coastal path instead. Kids loved the Baby Goes Wild children's area, dog stayed in the room with air-con during peak heat. Pet fee 25 euros per night.
💡Travel tips for families flying with a dog to Cyprus
- 1Book a ground-floor room when you reserve. All four hotels below have ground-floor stock with direct garden or terrace access, which means you can let the dog out at night without taking the lift past sleeping kids. Mention the dog at booking and ask the front desk to confirm the room is set aside.
- 2The veterinary clinic Pawfecto on Tomb of the Kings Road sees walk-ins until 8pm and speaks English. They stock dog food brands familiar to UK and German owners. Save the address on your phone before you fly because the international roaming on day one is the most likely time you will need them.
- 3Cyprus heat is the real challenge with a dog. Walk the coastal path before 9am and after 6pm in July and August, and do not let the dog walk on the asphalt promenade in the middle of the day. The wooden boardwalk sections stay cooler. Carry a collapsible water bowl and refill at the kiosks along the path.
- 4Most hotel breakfast terraces in Paphos allow dogs on lead at outside tables. Confirm the night before with the maitre d. Inside dining is usually not allowed, but the buffet plate-for-the-terrace workaround is normal here and nobody minds. Tip a little extra; it makes the next morning smoother.
- 5Bring a copy of your pet passport, the rabies vaccination record and a recent vet certificate even if Cyprus does not require them on arrival from EU and UK. Hotels in Paphos sometimes ask to photocopy the rabies record at check-in. Have a digital copy in your email so it is one less paper to carry.
