Discover hotels and villas for luxury diving holidays in the Akamas Peninsula, Cyprus

This rugged patch of western Cyprus and its environs has natural splendour and cultural wonders aplenty: ancient subterranean tombs and Roman remains dot the landscape outside Paphos, and winding cross-country pathways entice you to explore on foot or by bike. Watch turtles on Lara Beach, sip wine in a monastery, discover your own quiet grotto and marvel at mosaiics that have survived millenia. The isolated location means that, beyond the lap of luxury afforded by your hotel, there's not much in the way of laid-on entertainment bar small fishing villages and simple local tavernas – but that's exactly how we like it.
