Renowned for its stylish contemporary feel, the Almyra, which translates from Greek as, ‘the taste of the sea’, exudes a classic elegance truly befitting of its spectacular setting amongst acres of lush landscaped gardens. This timeless retreat offers unobstructed views across beaming blue waters and a stunning collection of chic yet child friendly rooms and suites.
Following an extensive two year renovation overseen by Joelle Pleot, a favourite designer of Karl Lagerfeld, the Almyra was launched as a lavish resort which whilst being unquestionably luxurious suits singles, couples and families alike. This total transformation gave rise to a stunning collection of rooms and suites all boasting cable and satellite TV, video, radio and Wi-Fi internet access, with the aptly named signature Kyma Suite situated on the seafront, close enough to hear the waves, ‘kyma’ in Greek, lapping the shore beside you. This spacious open plan suite offers spectacular sea views from the bedroom and sitting area, a lavishly appointed bathroom and for that added touch of extravagance, a king size ‘day bed’ on the lawn of your private seafront terrace. With a number of interconnecting Kyma Suites and Family Rooms, this hotel undoubtedly proves that child friendliness is an integral part of its philosophy providing the ideal room combination for any family.
A dedicated children’s club and specially designed shallow swimming pool allow children to take part in a range of indoor and outdoor activities whilst being supervised by experienced and qualified staff. The unique baby go lightly order service is perhaps one of the hotels most considerate concepts, offering parents the opportunity to order every manner of baby item on-line in advance of travelling, with all items ordered waiting in-room on your arrival. Following the phenomenal success of this on-line scheme, the Almyra has now introduced the baby go lightly crèche available for all guests aged 6 months to 4 years, providing fun supervised play and stimulating activities, in a caring and welcoming atmosphere under professional supervision.
There are also a number of water and land based sports available which cater to both adults and children, including tennis, scuba diving and waterskiing lessons. However for those who wish to indulge in something a little more relaxing the launch of the Almyra Spa this coming summer will provide the perfect place to do so. Using 100% pure ingredients the philosophy here will be to create complete well-being through health, beauty and fitness, whilst being the first spa to offer JUST PURE’s complete holistic lifestyle concept, which uses natural products in tune with the rhythm of the moon.
Four exceptional restaurants and an array of dining experiences reflect the tastes of this contemporary seaside resort, quite apt given the definition of its title. Enjoy a fusion of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine at the poolside grill Notios, taste Greek delicacies at the seafront Ouzieri or savour a lavish buffet meal at Mosaics, which also serves sumptuous breakfasts.
