The 4-star Melissi Beach Hotel & Spa in Ayia Napa has been named the best in the Quality Hotel category at the Global Hotel Awards 2026 by the international organization TUI. This award is not just recognition, but confirmation of the hotel’s consistent commitment to excellence. Among hundreds of hotels worldwide, Melissi Beach stood out for its quality of service, welcoming atmosphere, and overall standards, earning a place among the best hotels in Ayia Napa according to one of the largest tour operators.
Ownership
The hotel is owned by the family of Nikos Lamprou from the free areas of Famagusta. With deep knowledge of Cypriot hospitality and a vision for continuous development, the owners consistently invest in upgrading the property, striving for constant improvement and high-quality service. Melissi Beach Hotel & Spa is ideally located in the prestigious Kriou Nero beach area.
The hotel is registered with the Deputy Ministry of Tourism and holds all the necessary licenses to operate as a 4-star establishment. Melissi Beach offers 225 rooms across various categories: one grand suite, four junior suites, twelve superior executive rooms, and twenty-eight bungalow suites. All are designed with a modern aesthetic focused on comfort, catering to both discerning travelers and families with children. The hotel’s infrastructure is impressive: landscaped gardens, large swimming pools, modern relaxation areas, and a high-quality spa center create a complete wellness and leisure environment. Guests can enjoy hospitality that combines luxury, comfort, and authentic Cypriot charm.
Dining and seasonality
Special attention is given to gastronomy. Melissi Beach features four restaurants, two of which are open not only to guests, offering high-quality Greek and Italian cuisine. Thanks to the “dine-around” option, guests can enjoy a variety of dishes across different venues. The hotel operates from March to November, covering an extended tourist season and actively contributing to increased visitor flow in the region.
Recognition from TUI marks the culmination of efforts by the management, administration, and entire hotel staff. It is a collective achievement reflecting professionalism, consistency, and attention to detail. At the same time, the award strengthens the Melissi Beach brand as a modern, dynamic, and reliable hospitality business.
