Nestled in a picturesque, typical village, everything about this place is delightful. It was a respite from a busy city, with beautiful views, charming decor, comfortable bed, dark and quiet sleeping, excellent, friendly staff, great restaurants, delicious breakfast and an amazing spa with everything you could want plus a snow room! I highly recommend this getaway!
Casale Panayiotis is an award-winning mountain spa retreat and wellness destination, set in an ancient spa village, historically frequented by kings, queens and pilgrims alike for its natural sulphur-spring-waters and their innate healing qualities. Each room or suite is styled to exude complete luxury through traditional Cypriot features such as stone walls, wooden shuttered windows, beamed ceilings and textile décor, whilst doors open out to balconies and courtyards overlooking the ancient mountain village. The Myrianthousa Spa is the gem of the complex, bathed in natural light and nestled within the orchards, streams and mountainsides of Kalopanayiotis, boasting modern facilities, including a hydrotherapy pool and thermal sequencing journey from sauna to snow cabin and herbal steam to tropical rain. Cypriot practice is still deeply ingrained in the spa pathway with traditional bath rituals, goat milk and rose ceremonies and Mediterranean oil massages that will have you drifting away.

Highs
- Private balcony and terrace spaces to enjoy the views over the Troodos mountain valleys.
- The diverse range of Cypriot cooking and dining options across the 3 restaurants.
- The location of the luxury escape ingrained in a rustic and ancient village of Cypriot history.
- Exposure to high-tech spa facilities including snow cabin, hydrotherapy pool and chromotherapy light therapy, that can help to rebalance the mind and body.
- Spa treatments that rejuvenate the body and incite serene relaxation, using locally sourced oils and aromas such as the Mediterranean and Vitamin C+ body wraps.
Lows
- Many of the rooms do not offer step free access.
- Spacing between each facility due to the wellness hotel being embedded throughout a village, although this makes for incredible cultural exposure and integration.
- Incredible food and drinks options may be difficult to resist on your wellness journey. Yet a hike through the mountains may work off the extra glass of Cypriot wine.
