Oasis at Ayfilon

Top choice in Cyprus


Ideal for travellers looking for a slice of simple life. The minimalist cabins here, decked out in lashings of white, are built right on the cliff with waves crashing into the rocks below. Each have comfortable beds with mosquito net and balconies with five-star sea views. There’s a good restaurant here too with yet more glorious coastal views.
