Spa Resort Anassa in the village of Polis on the Akamas Peninsula, Cyprus, occupies one of the most unspoiled coastal stretches of the Mediterranean, adjacent to the Akamas National Park where the last wild mouflon and rare sea turtles share a protected landscape of limestone cliffs and turquoise coves. The oligomineral waters drawn from the island's own underground sources complement an extensive thalassotherapy programme that draws on the therapeutic properties of Mediterranean seawater, sea algae, and sea mud in treatments refined over decades. Anassa's position at the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite gives every treatment here a mythological resonance deeply embedded in Cypriot cultural identity.
Insider tip — The Anassa Resort occupies a hillside above the turquoise Akamas Bay in northwestern Cyprus, the most unspoiled corner of the island, where lemon groves and old-growth carob trees frame the property. The spa draws on gently heated natural mineral water and Mediterranean thalassotherapy traditions using local sea salt and carob extracts. The Akamas Peninsula immediately to the north is a protected nature reserve where loggerhead turtles nest on undisturbed beaches. Early morning spa sessions before day visitors arrive offer a tranquility that defines the Paphos UNESCO landscape surrounding the resort.
