Cyprus has been a popular tourist destination for many years. The island's authenticity, relaxing atmosphere and, of course, its beautiful beaches, which are rightly regarded as some of the best in Europe. Cyprus has many hidden, cosy coves and developed coastal areas.
The island has beaches for all tastes: for those who like to relax on the sand, and for those who like to play sports, with or without people - that is wild. In the latter case, there are sometimes no conditions at all, except for a wide coastal strip and clear water. But here, everyone can choose their own holiday - surrounded by infrastructure or in seclusion.
And in recent years, Cyprus has seen the emergence of beaches for 'party people', lured by endless fun and never-ending parties. In these places, life goes on day and night. Music, dancing and good cheer never stop.
Today I am going to tell you about the five most fashionable beaches in Limassol, where the local young people prefer to spend their free time.
Marina beach
As you might have guessed, this beach is located near the new Limassol Marina. Many people call it the old-fashioned peninsula beach. This beach appeared in the city relatively recently, in 2015, thanks to the construction of a complex of luxury villas - Peninsula Villas and the unique Castle Residences. During the implementation of these projects, the developer created an artificial peninsula and a new beach with light golden, soft sand with no foreign impurities.
Marina Beach is an oasis of luxury and comfort: shallow bottom, blue water, comfortable modern infrastructure. For a long time not only tourists, but even many locals did not know about this secret corner practically in the centre of the city. Only the owners of luxurious villas had access to it. However, after the opening of a cafe-bar on the beach, word of mouth spread quickly throughout Limassol.
Its unique combination of natural beauty and first-class facilities has made it a favourite with the local youth, who come here every weekend not only to lounge on the comfortable sun loungers, but also to enjoy the Marina Beach Bar, which is elegantly furnished in Art Nouveau style with nautical decorations.
Columbia Sun beach
If you drive a little further towards the new City of Dreams Mediterranean casino resort, you will come to the largest and one of the most beautiful beaches in Cyprus, which stretches for almost 5 kilometres. This is the Ladies Mile. At the very end of this beach, practically next to the British bases, is the 'Limassol Mecca' of all party people - Columbia Sun Beach. It appeared in 2022. But it has already won the love of the Cypriot youth, who practically sleep here.
By day you can lounge on chic sun loungers, sip signature cocktails and enjoy delicious food, and by night you can lose yourself in the rhythms of electronic music. Columbia Sun beach often hosts themed parties with top DJs, including guest DJs from Mykonos and Ibiza. At weekends, the music continues on the beach until the early hours of the morning. The glamorous yet relaxed atmosphere makes Columbia Sun beach the perfect place to get away from it all. All in all, it's a great way to reboot and get away from it all. Incredible impressions and emotions are guaranteed.
S for summer beach
This beach is located on the eastern part of the Limassol coast, not far from the famous 5-star Four Seasons Hotel. It was created about 2 years ago. S For Summer beach is one of the most stylish and trendy holiday destinations in the city. Mainly because of its modern infrastructure. There are cool sunbeds, large umbrellas and even special pergolas. The beach is divided into different zones: for families with children and for young people. One of the main features of S For Summer Beach is its attention to cleanliness and maintenance. The beach area is cleaned regularly and highly qualified staff are always ready to help holidaymakers and ensure a pleasant stay on the beach.
S For Summer Beach offers a variety of fun activities for its guests. Water sports such as kayaking and windsurfing are available. Outdoor yoga and fitness classes are available for outdoor enthusiasts. The beach is also known for its evening activities, which include themed parties, film screenings, concerts and DJ sets. During the day, the beach is dominated by families. But when night falls, the beach is packed with young people. Some come to watch films under the stars, others to listen to lectures and still others to spend a romantic time on the beach with their other half.
Petite Plage beach
Another trendy spot in Limassol is just 500 metres from S For Summer beach. Petite Plage is the perfect place for those who dream of a holiday on a beautiful sandy beach with a blue flag. Guests can relax on sun loungers in the shade of chic parasols and for the more active holidaymakers there is a water sports equipment hire point next to the restaurant.
The modern design, the amazing menu (although that is debatable), the greenery, the beach and the stunning sea views create a unique atmosphere that attracts the local young people who frequent this place. There is pleasant music in the evenings and live performances at weekends. Compared to the previous beaches, everything is much quieter here, which probably makes it cozier. On the other hand, you can't always dance till you drop. Sometimes you want a 'quiet party'.
Palm Beach - Kalymnos
Perhaps one of the most unusual and beautiful beaches in the Limassol area. It is about 20 metres from the town. Shining in the sun, white as chalk, the rocks framing the dark sandy shores are a unique spectacle of extraordinary beauty, truly worthy of an artist's brush. Until a few years ago, this beach was a favourite with couples. But after Palm Beach was equipped with modern sunbeds and parasols and a beach bar, it became a favourite with young people.
Young Cypriots love to escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a weekend in Palm Beach. Not for a relaxing holiday, but to have fun with their friends. In the evenings, the music on the beach tends to get louder, there are more young people, and in the summer, famous DJs often come here to perform. I forgot to mention that Palm Beach has been awarded the Blue Flag, which means that the beach is not only well-equipped, but also safe and clean.
