Natura Beach Hotel Paphos Polis

A 3 star Cyprus hotel

Set on a stunning location at the centre of the Polis Bay, right on a very long stretch of sandy beach and surrounded by beautiful Mediterranean orchards and gardens, the family-run Natura Beach Hotel and Villas is a truly unique holiday retreat.

Figuring prominently over the horizon just a few kilometres away is the renowned Akamas nature reserve, a beautiful peninsula with several walking trails and an impressive coastline. The immediate surrounding area has its own natural interest and during the summer months guests will notice numerous turtle nests along the beach which are monitored and protected by a local conservation centre. The hedges surrounding the hotel orange groves are full of nesting birds while the swallows return each year to build their own nests on the walls of the hotel. During autumn and spring the Polis Bay becomes part of a main migrating route for a wide variety of water birds and guests can actually bird watch while enjoying the sunset from the hotel terrace.

Relaxing by the pool or basking in the sun on the spacious lawn will be hard to resist. But a walk along the endless beach or a mountain bike ride through the surrounding countryside is also recommended. The Natura Beach is a Padi Gold Palm Resort in association with a nearby Water Sports centre offering among others instruction in scuba diving at all levels. Also on offer are boat rides along the Akamas peninsula and jeep or mountain biking excursions.

Away from the noise of traffic and the activity of the town, while at the same time being only a 20-minute walk from the tavernas and coffee-shops of the Polis centre, the Natura Beach guarantees a peaceful and relaxing holiday close to nature. We are confident that by the time our guests are on their way back home, they will have already decided to do what the swallows do: come back next year!

Accommodation

The sixty elegantly decorated bedrooms are located either in the main building or in the garden wings. They all have a bathroom, individually controlled air-conditioning and heating, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, a safe-deposit box and a balcony or veranda offering beautiful sea views or equally attractive views of the garden and the Paphos Mountains.

Villas

The five beautiful villas are located on the side of the hotel buildings and each has its own swimming pool and three bedrooms with en-suit bathrooms. A spacious veranda opens into the citrus groves and the large first floor terrace offers a beautiful view of the bay. Each villa has a lounge and dining room, a well equipped kitchenette (with cooker/oven, microwave, toaster, kettle, fridge, wash-basin and crockery/cutlery), air-conditioning and heating in all rooms, satellite TV, direct-dial telephone, a safe-deposit box and a private car-park.

Green Facts

Living up to its name the Natura Beach is a hotel with a strong environmental ethos:

Design:
The characteristic low-profile design of the hotel buildings and their distance from the beach are part of our effort of not imposing upon the surrounding environment.

Water conservation and sewage treatment:
A separate piping network provides ground water from our own well to lavatories thus saving valuable drinking water. The ground water is also used for the irrigation of our plantations and herb gardens. All waste water is collected in a sophisticated on-site biological treatment station and the treated water is used for irrigating the lawns. Guests can help in our efforts by choosing when to change towels and by refraining from throwing solid waste or chemicals in the drain.

Energy conservation:
Solar panels are used for heating the water in the villas. Economy light bulbs are used in all rooms and common areas. The air-conditioning units will go off when the glass doors to the balcony or terrace are not well shut avoiding wasteful use. Air-conditioning and all lighting in the bedroom will also go off when the key holder is removed from the slot when the guest is away.

The Beach:
The absence of bright lights and water sports on the beach is in recognition of the fact that the Polis Bay is a breeding ground for Sea Turtles (both the Careta Careta and the Chelonia Mitas). Turtle nests are monitored and protected. Our front office can provide information and advise on ways that hotel guests can get involved.

The Plantations:
The hotel plantations, on the left and right of the buildings, provide most of the vegetables and fruit used by our kitchen. Depending on the season guests can participate in olive and orange picking. The small animal farm is an attraction for children and also provides for some of our requirements for meat and eggs.

Education:
Occasional lectures and slide shows on the nature of Cyprus and guided walks to the Akamas Peninsula nature reserve are organized by the hotel and are freely open to all guests.
