Cyprus’s tourism map has gained another prestigious accommodation destination. The new Sunrise Emerald hotel has officially opened in Protaras, becoming the sixth hospitality project developed by the Sunrise Hotels group.
The new resort is located in the popular Pernera area, close to Vrysoudia Beach, one of the most picturesque stretches of Cyprus’s eastern coastline. Thanks to its prime location, guests can enjoy crystal-clear waters, scenic coastal walks, and easy access to the main attractions of the free Famagusta district.
A New Level of Hospitality in Protaras
Sunrise Emerald is positioned as a premium all-inclusive resort designed for travelers who value comfort, high-quality service, and modern facilities. The hotel’s architecture combines elegant contemporary design, spacious public areas, and the relaxed atmosphere of a Mediterranean resort. Interiors are decorated in bright tones, while many rooms offer views of the sea and the surrounding landscapes of Protaras.
Guests can choose from spacious Deluxe rooms and luxury suites featuring modern amenities, thoughtfully designed relaxation areas, and everything needed for a comfortable holiday.
A Culinary Journey Without Leaving the Resort
One of the resort’s standout features is its diverse dining concept. Guests can explore several culinary experiences without ever leaving the hotel grounds. Particular attention is drawn to the rooftop Lemongrass Pan Asian restaurant, where visitors can enjoy Asian cuisine alongside panoramic views of the Protaras coastline, especially spectacular at sunset.
For those who prefer Mediterranean flavors, Olivia Mediterranean offers dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients and inspired by the region’s culinary traditions. Italian cuisine is represented by Marcello's Italian, while the Korali International buffet restaurant serves a wide selection of dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The resort’s facilities are complemented by three bars, including a lobby bar and poolside relaxation areas.
Pools, Spa Facilities, and Family-Friendly Leisure
The new resort caters both to families and to guests seeking a more tranquil atmosphere. Sunrise Emerald features four swimming pools, including an adults-only pool, a spacious main pool, a children's pool area, and an indoor pool available year-round. Guests looking to unwind after a day at the beach can also enjoy the modern spa center, which offers a range of relaxation and wellness treatments.
A New Boost for Tourism in the Region
In recent years, Protaras has continued to strengthen its position as one of Cyprus’s most sought-after resort destinations, attracting visitors from the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, Scandinavia, and the Middle East. Authorities and hospitality industry representatives note that investment in new hotel developments helps improve the quality of Cyprus’s tourism product and enhances the island’s competitiveness within the Mediterranean market.
The opening of Sunrise Emerald is further evidence that Cyprus’s eastern coastline continues to evolve as a modern, high-end holiday destination, offering visitors an attractive combination of beachside relaxation, excellent service, and well-developed infrastructure.
