Paphos Family Hotels with Swimming Pools

Why families love Elysium

We booked a back-to-back spa morning for both of us while our 8-year-old went to the kids club for a ceramics class and our 5-year-old did a swimming session in the kids pool. Staff in the kids area had names we recognised by day two. The spa itself has the best hammam on the island and the couples treatment room is genuinely designed for 2 people, not a twin bed jammed into a single. The only small issue is the walk down to the beach involves 40 steep steps, doable but not great with a buggy.

Why families love Elysium Hotel

I recommend the Elysium to families who want luxury without giving up proper childcare. The Angel's Kids Club takes children from 3 to 12 with themed daily activities and a two-level soft play area, and a separate crèche looks after babies from four months, which is rare at this level. There is an indoor heated pool as well as outdoor pools and a paddling pool. The grounds sit beside the Tombs of the Kings archaeological site.

Why families love Serbellas Boutique Hotel

Highest rated hotel in our list for good reason. The staff went out of their way for our kids: extra pillows, warm milk at bedtime, colouring books at dinner. The pool is not huge but beautifully maintained, and we never had trouble finding loungers. Kissonerga is quiet, which was exactly what we wanted after long days exploring. Breakfast is a step above other hotels: fresh pastries, local honey, proper coffee. The only trade-off is you need a car for everything. Worth it for the quality.

Why families love Apollonia Hotel Apartments

I recommend Apollonia to families who want to self-cater part of the time. The apartments come with kitchens, and the pool area keeps younger children busy: a shallow kids' pool with a splash area plus free pool toys, including an inflatable obstacle course and water guns. There are no slides on site, but Aphrodite Waterpark is about 15 minutes away on foot, and outdoor play equipment and board games fill the gaps.

Why families love Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel

I recommend Asimina Suites to families planning waterpark days. It is the closest 5-star to Aphrodite Waterpark, a five-minute walk door to door, and runs a free hourly shuttle there in summer. The hotel has no slides of its own, but two outdoor pools with a shallow kids' zone make a quieter afternoon swim easy. Its beachfront position on Yeroskipou sand means waterpark days can alternate with proper sea swimming.

Why families love Minthis Resort

Minthis is the spa-first choice in our list. Less beach, more mountain air, and the spa uses carob oil and local vine extracts you do not get at the coastal hotels. The kids programme is smaller but the vineyard tour and the horse riding stable nearby filled two afternoons. Our 5-year-old preferred it to the bigger resorts because she had more adult attention. The 15-minute drive back to the beach is a minor cost for the quieter setting.

Why families love Louis Paphos Breeze

This is a genuinely baby-aware resort rather than a marketing exercise. The kids' buffet at breakfast includes pureed fruit, plain pasta and unsalted vegetables, the pool deck has shaded baby-changing tables, and the babysitting service is bookable by the hour with vetted local sitters. Worth knowing: the sea-facing rooms get morning sun, which can be tough on baby naps, so request garden side.

Why families love Olympic Lagoon Resort Paphos

I recommend Olympic Lagoon to families who want a self-contained holiday where nearly everything is included. Six themed à la carte restaurants, five lagoon pools with waterfalls, slides and zero-level entries for toddlers, and seven nightly shows mean few reasons to leave. Three kids programmes cover every age: Little Monsters for young children, the Olympic Soccer Academy and a Teenz Club. It costs noticeably more than the Mayfair, but the range on offer is wider.

Why families love Azia Resort & Spa

Azia was the only resort we found in Paphos with a crèche that accepted our 18-month-old. Two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon gave us actual downtime. The older kids club was well-organised with themed days and a kids disco at 8:30pm. The pool is not huge but the kids section was shallow enough for our toddler. Food quality was a clear step up from the 4-star resorts. Our only complaint: the beach across the road is pebbly, so the pool was the main swimming spot.

Why families love Coral Beach Hotel & Resort Cyprus

I recommend Coral Beach to families who want a sandy beach first and a spa second. The private beach on the north Paphos coast is the main draw for children, backed by a dedicated kids' pool and seven restaurants with kids' menus. The spa offers Ayurvedic and Mediterranean treatments, including family treatments, so parents can book short sessions while the children play. Both all-inclusive and half-board packages suit this kind of break.

Why families love Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa

Reserved a ground-floor pet room with a small private terrace. Pet bowls came up to the room within an hour of asking. Nine restaurants meant we could always find a terrace that worked with the dog. Kids meals are reliable rather than exciting but the size of the resort and the variety of pools kept everyone happy for a week.

Why families love Queens Bay Hotel

I recommend Queens Bay to families who want the beach a staircase away. The hotel sits right above Coral Bay, with direct steps down to the sand, and the water below is shallow enough for toddlers to wade. Beach sun loungers are included, and the outdoor pool has a separate kids' section for the afternoon. Rooms are simple, so our advice is to ask for an upper floor, where balconies look over the bay.

Why families love Coral Beach Hotel & Resort

I recommend Coral Beach to families who want a self-contained resort on sand. It occupies its own private beach at the northern end of Coral Bay, groomed daily and shallow enough for young swimmers. The kids club takes ages 3 to 12 and has an indoor play area for hot afternoons, and seven restaurants include a kids' buffet station. Our advice: rent a car, as Paphos town is a drive away for evenings out.

Why families love Elysia Park

I recommend Elysia Park to families who want downtime for parents as well as space for children. It feels like a garden resort rather than a tower block, with several small pool areas, free inflatables and a kids' splash area. The spa has a Sunday family hour when children can join parents in the sauna, and kids' meals and outdoor play equipment cover the rest. A shuttle runs to Aphrodite Waterpark.

Why families love Alexander The Great Beach Hotel

We booked the family room with sea view for six nights including three rounds of golf at Aphrodite Hills. The concierge handled the tee bookings and the airport-hire-car was waiting on arrival, so by 7am day-two we were on the first tee. The kids' club here is more relaxed than at the bigger Constantinou Bros resorts (about 8 to 12 kids in summer), which our slightly shy 6-year-old preferred. The buffet starts at 6:30am for early golfers, which is rare in Paphos. The beach is across the road but it's pebbly — bring water shoes.

Why families love Annabelle

I recommend the Annabelle to families who want classic Mediterranean luxury that stays relaxed about children. Its tropical gardens run down to the sea on Poseidonos Avenue, and the pool sits among mature palms and bougainvillea. A supervised kids club runs in summer, family rooms and suites have connecting options, and there is a private beach area. Paphos harbour and the archaeological park are within walking distance, which makes evenings out simple.

Why families love Constantinou Bros Athena Beach Hotel

Six nights with two kids in connecting rooms. Connecting rooms aren't formal interconnect doors but two adjoining rooms with a shared corridor patio, so it works for kids over 5 but not toddlers. The kids' club takes 4-12s in proper age bands and includes a pizza-making session twice a week. The children's playground sits between the two pools and has shaded structures, which matters in July. Elea Estate is a 4-minute drive: we were on the tee by 7:15 and back by 12, both days. Beach is sandy here, unlike Kato Paphos.

Why families love Leonardo Cypria Bay

Big machine, but it works. The animator team is 8 people, so the energy is consistent all week. Our 5-year-old was coming back with face paint every day. The 8-year-old discovered the Teen Zone (13+) was off-limits and pouted for a day, then joined the pool tournament and got over it. Food is the weak point: 5 restaurants but the 3 à la carte slots fill up on day one, so book immediately.

Why families love Louis Ledra Beach

Seven nights in late August with our 6 and 9-year-old. The connecting family suite worked well — kids in their own room, our balcony with sea view, sliding door between. Beach is right outside, no road to cross. The 9-year-old made friends in the kids splash area and stayed in the pool for hours. Yeroskipou felt more local than the Almyra strip and the prices in the bars outside the hotel were noticeably lower. Spa was a parent perk on day 5.

Why families love Aphrodite Hills Hotel and Resort

The village layout was the star: our kids could bike between the crèche, the pool and the ice cream stand without us walking them. Crèche took our 18-month-old on day 2 from 9 to 12:30, allowing us our first couples treatment in 18 months. The spa is the largest on this list and the one with the best hammam for parents who want a proper steam. Resort is big, so pick a room in the main hotel wing not the far villas unless you specifically want isolation.

Why families love WellClub Resort - Wellness & SeaView Suites

Smaller and quieter than the big resorts in Kato Paphos. Staff know your kids by day two. The walk into town is 25 minutes along the coastal path — doable with older kids, tough with a buggy. Food is buffet-only but the kid-friendly buffet is genuinely aimed at children (mild flavours, pasta, chips, fresh fruit). No water slides, which the 8-year-olds noticed; the 5-year-olds did not mind.

Why families love Almyra

Seven nights in October half-term with our 5 and 8-year-old. The connecting family suite worked perfectly — the kids had their own room with twin beds and we kept the connecting door open at first, closed by night three. Baby Go Lightly is the best in-room baby gear we've seen at a hotel: full kit delivered, no questions. Beach access from the lawn, no road to cross. Most expensive of our picks but the design and the kids' setup justified it.

Why families love Anemi Hotel & Suites

We did Anemi as the city base after 4 days at Aphrodite Hills for a change of pace. The suite with private pool access was the highlight for our kids (swim before breakfast, swim after dinner). The spa is smaller and does not have a kids club but the babysitting network they use is professional and the hammam is genuinely good. Better for families with older kids who can read quietly while parents do the spa. Not recommended for under-5s without a nanny.

Why families love Theo Sunset Bay Hotel

Seven nights with two kids aged 5 and 8. Coral Bay beach is a 4-minute downhill walk and is the best family beach in Paphos: shallow, sandy, with shaded sun-bed sections. The hotel's family room had bunk beds for the kids, which they preferred to interconnecting rooms. Mini golf at the resort kept the 5-year-old happy for an hour each evening, which let the older one play normal pool. We did Minthis on day three and the drive up the mountain road took 18 minutes from the hotel; we were finished by midday. Buffet starts at 7am, which is later than Annabelle but workable for a 9am tee.

Why families love Atlantica Akteon

This is a proper family village, not a boutique stay — three pools, a big playground, and a mini disco our 5-year-old refused to miss. The kids' club runs in Greek and English and focuses on arts, games and pool time. Rooms are dated but clean and the family apartment has a separate kids' room with bunk beds. Big drawback: the buffet is chaotic at peak dinner hours.

Why families love Pandream Hotel Apartments

Six nights in February with three kids aged 3, 6 and 9. The two-bedroom apartment had a real kitchen — fridge, hob, microwave and dishwasher — which made the trip cheaper and easier. The toddler kept his usual breakfast routine. Pool was outdoor only and unheated, so February was too cold for serious swimming, but the apartments are bookable year-round at low prices. The 6-year-old loved the play area. Best value of our picks.

Why families love Mayfair Hotel & Gardens

I recommend the Mayfair to families who want a real all-inclusive with a water park on site. The jungle-themed Aqua Splash has slides for children aged 2 to 14 and opens from April to November. The all-inclusive covers rotating themed buffet nights, a snack bar until 5 p.m. and drinks from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. There is a kids club for ages 4 to 12, a teens hub, and a heated indoor pool for cooler months.

Why families love Kapetanios Aqua Resort

The water park made this resort for our kids. Six slides, a lazy river, and a splash area for the little ones. Our 8-year-old went down the slides repeatedly for three days straight. The apartments were a bonus because we could make snacks in the kitchenette even though all-inclusive covered meals. The kids club and playground filled the non-pool hours. Coral Bay beach was walkable and had proper sand, which was a relief after reading about Paphos pebble beaches.
