A dreamy week away at Four Seasons 💭🌴After an unforgettable first visit, we eagerly anticipated our return to @fourseasonscyprus A few of our favourite things? The personalised service, unbeatable setting, and serene vibe.
Location..
What sets Four Seasons Cyprus apart is its prime beachfront location, just 45 minutes from Larnaca Airport. The private beach feels exclusive, while the long promenade is perfect for morning walks or sunset strolls. 
The Room..
Entering the Superior Suite felt like stepping into a private retreat. The spacious room featured two balconies with breathtaking 180-degree sea views, a living room, king size bed and luxurious marble bathroom. If you enjoy a night in the room the extensive room service menu won’t disappoint! 
Dining..
The hotel offers a variety of dining options with six restaurants that cater to different preferences. Vivaldi by Mavrommatis serves upscale Mediterranean cuisine, while Seasons Oriental specialises in fine Asian cooking. The Peking Duck was a firm favourite. You can even pop over to @amathuslimassol (the sister hotel) for a different dining experience.. we loved Limanaki (the seafood restaurant on the water).
