Best Hotels with Swimming Pool in Paphos for Families (2026)

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

The Elysium is the nicest hotel we have stayed in with children. The kids club was free, drop-off, and our 5-year-old asked to go back every morning. The crèche took our 2-year-old too, which we did not expect from a luxury hotel. The grounds overlook the Tombs of the Kings and the pool area is beautiful. Food quality was excellent, with the kids eating free on our half-board plan. At 297 EUR/night it is not cheap, but the level of service and the sheer relief of having both kids happily supervised made it worth every cent.

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

The free pool toys were a surprise hit — our 5-year-old barely left the kids' pool for three days. Apartment had a proper kitchen, fridge, and washing machine, so we cooked breakfast and pasta nights, which saved about 200 EUR on food over a week. Management organised waterpark shuttle bookings for 5 EUR per person. Pool closes at 7pm but the playground stays open till sunset. Best-value stay in Paphos we've done.

Why families love Constantinou Bros Asimina Suites Hotel

We booked specifically for the Aphrodite Waterpark walking distance and it delivered. Kids aged 6 and 9 loved being able to come back to the hotel pool mid-afternoon for a quieter swim. The staff organised waterpark tickets at the front desk with a 10% discount. Rooms are spacious with sofa beds for the kids. Buffet breakfast had everything; evening meals at the beachfront restaurant were good but pricey (60-80 EUR for 4).

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

Olympic Lagoon is not a hotel, it is a self-contained holiday. Our kids did not ask to leave the resort once in six days. The Little Monsters club was genuinely good with trained early years staff, and the teens programme kept our 12-year-old busy until 10pm. We ate at a different restaurant every night without paying extra. The lagoon pools with their Mayan temple feature and water slides were the highlight. At 587 EUR/night for a family of four, it costs more than twice the Mayfair. But everything is included and the quality is noticeably higher. If your budget stretches, this is the one.

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 Queens Bay Hotel

Queens Bay was our best-value find in Paphos. The room was basic but clean, and from our balcony we could see both the pool and the beach below. Mornings we walked down the hotel steps to Coral Bay, grabbed loungers, and the kids were in the water within minutes. The beach bar did decent toasties and fresh juice. At 188 EUR per night for a family of four, we could not argue with the location.

Why families love Coral Beach Hotel & Resort

The Coral Beach Resort felt like a self-contained village. Our kids spent mornings at the beach (the hotel section is roped off and cleaned, so no cigarette butts or broken glass), afternoons at the kids club, and evenings exploring the different restaurants. The buffet had a dedicated kids station at child height. At 225 EUR for a 5-star beachfront, it punches well above its price point. Only downside: it is a 10-minute drive from Paphos town, so you need a car for evening outings.

Why families love Alexander The Great Beach Hotel

The Alexander sits right on the Kato Paphos promenade, which made evenings easy. Kids finished dinner at the hotel buffet, then we walked along the seafront to the harbour for ice cream. The beach is small but well-maintained, and the kids club kept our 6-year-old entertained while we read by the pool. Staff remembered our room number by day two, which sounds small but made everything smoother. The only catch is the price: at 298 EUR it is not cheap for a 4-star, but you are paying for the location.

Why families love Leonardo Plaza Cypria Maris Beach Hotel & Spa

We chose Cypria Maris specifically for the SODAP Beach location, and it delivered. The beach was quieter than Coral Bay, the sand was soft, and there was space to spread out without towels overlapping. The hotel has so many restaurants that we never ate at the same one twice. The spa was a bonus after the kids went to bed. At 343 EUR it is at the top of 4-star pricing, but the beach quality and dining variety justified it. The only negative: Yeroskipou is a 10-minute taxi ride from Paphos harbour, so evening outings require planning.

Why families love Elysia Park

We liked that it felt like a proper resort rather than a tower block — lots of garden space and several small pool areas rather than one big one. Staff brought a highchair and cot without us asking. The spa has a family-hour slot on Sundays (10am-noon) where kids can use the sauna with parents. Walk to the harbour takes 20 minutes or a 5 EUR taxi. Only downside: pool music can be loud until 6pm in high season.

Why families love Coral Beach Hotel & Resort Cyprus

We stayed on the all-inclusive because it included the kids club lunch, which saved us the food budget for the spa treatments. The hotel spa is smaller than Elysium but treatments are equally good and prices are 20 euros lower per session. The sandy beach is the big draw. Our 8-year-old wanted to spend all day building sandcastles with hotel staff bringing iced water, and we slipped out for spa windows. It ran like a clock.

Why families love Annabelle

The Annabelle feels like old-school Mediterranean luxury without being stuffy about kids. The gardens are gorgeous and the pool setting under palm trees is genuinely relaxing. Our kids loved the garden paths and the little stream running through the grounds. The kids club kept them busy while we had a proper lunch at the terrace restaurant. Rooms are large by Paphos standards. The private beach area is pebbly but has sunbeds and a small pier for jumping in. At 281 EUR/night it is not cheap, but the overall quality makes it feel earned.

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 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 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 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 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 Almyra

Best choice if you want design-hotel polish without losing the kids programme. The Almyraspa offers parent-and-child back massages which sounds ridiculous and is actually lovely. The 3 pools include a shallow plunge for toddlers and a proper 25m lap pool the adults can use at 7am. Food is above average (Mosaiko restaurant is legit). Downside: the club stops at noon, so afternoons you are on duty.

Why families love Theo Sunset Bay Hotel

We picked Theo Sunset Bay for the playground-plus-beach combo, and it turned out to be our best value stay in Cyprus. The playground is small but fenced and right next to the pool deck, so you can sit with a coffee and watch. Kids' pool is shallow and warm. The beach below is a 5-minute walk down stone steps — manageable but not great with a buggy. Food is mostly fine, not spectacular.

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 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 Mayfair Hotel & Gardens

The Aqua Splash kept our 6-year-old busy for hours while we sat poolside with actual cold drinks that were included. The buffet had a decent kids section with pasta and nuggets every night, and the themed dinners broke the monotony. Rooms are basic but clean. The kids club ran crafts and games from 10am to 12:30pm and 3pm to 5pm, and the mini disco at 8pm gave us 90 minutes for a quiet dinner. For 217 EUR/night all-in with two kids, we could not find better value in Paphos.

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 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.
