Spa Hotels In Paphos For Families Who Want A Day Off

Why families love Elysium

We booked a back-to-back spa morning for both of us while our 8-year-old went to the kids club for a ceramics class and our 5-year-old did a swimming session in the kids pool. Staff in the kids area had names we recognised by day two. The spa itself has the best hammam on the island and the couples treatment room is genuinely designed for 2 people, not a twin bed jammed into a single. The only small issue is the walk down to the beach involves 40 steep steps, doable but not great with a buggy.

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.

Why families love Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel

We booked specifically for the Aphrodite Waterpark walking distance and it delivered. Kids aged 6 and 9 loved being able to come back to the hotel pool mid-afternoon for a quieter swim. The staff organised waterpark tickets at the front desk with a 10% discount. Rooms are spacious with sofa beds for the kids. Buffet breakfast had everything; evening meals at the beachfront restaurant were good but pricey (60-80 EUR for 4).

Why families love Minthis Resort

Minthis is the spa-first choice in our list. Less beach, more mountain air, and the spa uses carob oil and local vine extracts you do not get at the coastal hotels. The kids programme is smaller but the vineyard tour and the horse riding stable nearby filled two afternoons. Our 5-year-old preferred it to the bigger resorts because she had more adult attention. The 15-minute drive back to the beach is a minor cost for the quieter setting.

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.

Why families love Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa

We chose Cypria Maris specifically for the SODAP Beach location, and it delivered. The beach was quieter than Coral Bay, the sand was soft, and there was space to spread out without towels overlapping. The hotel has so many restaurants that we never ate at the same one twice. The spa was a bonus after the kids went to bed. At 343 EUR it is at the top of 4-star pricing, but the beach quality and dining variety justified it. The only negative: Yeroskipou is a 10-minute taxi ride from Paphos harbour, so evening outings require planning.

Why families love Elysia Park

We liked that it felt like a proper resort rather than a tower block — lots of garden space and several small pool areas rather than one big one. Staff brought a highchair and cot without us asking. The spa has a family-hour slot on Sundays (10am-noon) where kids can use the sauna with parents. Walk to the harbour takes 20 minutes or a 5 EUR taxi. Only downside: pool music can be loud until 6pm in high season.

Why families love Coral Beach Hotel & Resort Cyprus

We stayed on the all-inclusive because it included the kids club lunch, which saved us the food budget for the spa treatments. The hotel spa is smaller than Elysium but treatments are equally good and prices are 20 euros lower per session. The sandy beach is the big draw. Our 8-year-old wanted to spend all day building sandcastles with hotel staff bringing iced water, and we slipped out for spa windows. It ran like a clock.

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.

Why families love Aphrodite Hills Hotel and Resort

The village layout was the star: our kids could bike between the crèche, the pool and the ice cream stand without us walking them. Crèche took our 18-month-old on day 2 from 9 to 12:30, allowing us our first couples treatment in 18 months. The spa is the largest on this list and the one with the best hammam for parents who want a proper steam. Resort is big, so pick a room in the main hotel wing not the far villas unless you specifically want isolation.

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.

Why families love Anemi Hotel & Suites

We did Anemi as the city base after 4 days at Aphrodite Hills for a change of pace. The suite with private pool access was the highlight for our kids (swim before breakfast, swim after dinner). The spa is smaller and does not have a kids club but the babysitting network they use is professional and the hammam is genuinely good. Better for families with older kids who can read quietly while parents do the spa. Not recommended for under-5s without a nanny.
