Cyprus The award-winning 5* Columbia Beach Resort, is one of Cyprus’ most exclusive hotels, with a stunning location on the 2km Blue Flag beach of Pissouri Bay. Its distinctive architecture is inspired by local Cypriot villages, featuring low-rise buildings in local stone. The sloping roofs, furnished with reclaimed terracotta tiles and shutters on the windows and abundance of natural wood give the resort a discreetly aged and traditional look. The stylish and well-appointed accommodation is arranged in villas clustered around the lagoon style pool surrounded by rugged cliffs and acres of vineyards in the valley beyond. The Columbia Beach Resort’s Spa Hébe’s name is inspired by the mythical Greek goddess of youth of the same name; daughter of Zeus and cup-bearer of ambrosia (divine nectar that, it was claimed, would bring the gods eternal youth). Hébe Spa offers the leading luxury British spa and skincare brand Elemis in its luxurious therapies and treatments, which are available alongside the holistic anti-ageing beauty and spa range from Monte Carlo, Daniele de Winter Monaco, exclusive to the Columbia Beach Resort. Also available at Hébe Spa is the Medi-Spa range, with three aesthetic treatments for the face and body that mimic cosmetic surgery without invasive needles or chemicals! To complete the menu, Hébe Spa offers its own bespoke Signature Treatments based on Cyprus’s finest natural ingredients. The island is renowned for its rich soil and high quality produce, which is exported worldwide. For example essential oils from Cyprus are used in massages and lavender flowers in body scrubs – ideal for guests who look for a more natural approach to spa. *The Columbia Beach Resort was voted Mediterranean’s Leading Spa Resort 2009; Cyprus’ Leading Spa Resort 2012,2011 and 2008, in the annual World Travel Awards; Best Spa Hotel, Cyprus, 2012 by the International Hotel Awards.
