Cyprus has once again confirmed its status as one of the most attractive destinations for luxury holidays. The world-renowned magazine Condé Nast Traveler has published the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, and the top hotel in Cyprus was Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, located in Limassol.
Moreover, the resort ranked ninth among the best hotels in Europe, marking a historic achievement for the island nation’s hospitality sector. This award is more than just a title—it reflects recognition from thousands of experienced travellers worldwide who each year choose the most outstanding places to stay.
The secret behind Parklane’s success
Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa is part of Marriott International’s prestigious Luxury Collection, which brings together the finest premium hotels around the globe.
“This recognition is the result of our collective effort, enthusiasm, and commitment to excellence. Every member of our team contributes to a shared goal: offering guests not just a holiday, but memorable experiences that last. We will continue to enhance our service and develop the resort to justify the trust of our guests,” commented General Manager Yiannis Stefanou on the win.
Architecture, style, and unique experiences
Parklane’s design was created by the legendary studios Harrods Interiors and Atelier 27, giving the resort an atmosphere of elegance and contemporary chic. The hotel features 222 refined rooms, 34 suites, and 18 villas with private pools. Guests can enjoy six restaurants and bars, conference facilities, an 800-sqm ballroom, a fitness centre, tennis courts, and several swimming pools, including indoor leisure areas.
Special mention goes to the Kalloni SPA thalassotherapy centre, the only complex of its kind in Cyprus, offering recovery programmes based on marine minerals and innovative wellness techniques. For families, the resort hosts the island’s largest Explorers Kids Club, staffed by professional animators and educators.
A symbol of luxury: the Retail Village
Within Parklane’s grounds lies the exclusive Retail Village, featuring boutiques of world-famous brands such as Dior Men, Dior Women, Loro Piana, Loewe, Celine, and Bottega Veneta. This transforms the resort into a full lifestyle destination, combining beachfront relaxation with high-end luxury shopping.
Cyprus strengthens its position on the global tourism map
Parklane’s international recognition highlights Cyprus’s growing reputation as a centre for elite Mediterranean tourism. In recent years, the island has actively invested in infrastructure, sustainable tourism, and service digitalisation. As early as 2026, Cyprus plans to introduce a “smart hospitality” system integrating bookings, transport, and tourist services on a single platform.
Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa stands as a prime example of how innovation, natural beauty, and impeccable service can elevate a resort to the level of the world’s best standards.
