Although less than a twenty-minute drive from the lively beach town of Protaras, this sun-washed home is in a peaceful spot close to the sparkling sea. A scatter of brilliant white rooms boasts huge windows and modern, unfussy furniture. A glass bannister and glossy kitchen add a touch of contemporary chic, while light grey textiles soften the mood. Throw open the doors and plunge into the private pool; the water will be welcome on long, hot afternoons. Celebrate good company with a huge Cypriot feast, whipped up in the kitted-out kitchen, and after a mid-afternoon snooze on the shaded loungers, take the five-minute stroll to the small shingle bay at Trinity Beach. And while all that sounds perfect, we’ve saved the best till last – climb the stairs to your private roof terrace for a sunset soak in the hot tub.
