Please kindly note, The Residence at Azia Resort and Spa will open during the middle of 2009. Featuring one of the world's finest spas, The Residence at Azia Resort and Spa is a haven of individual pampering and innovative style that places guests close to some of the greatest treasures in Cyprus. The sophistication of The Residence owes as much to edgy London design as to local influences. The result is an atmosphere that is sensuous yet earthy, shaped by the whole history of Cyprus. From the Venetian Murano glass, hand-painted silk and gold-leaf decoration of the main dining room, to airiness within a lobby that suggests the open spaces of a Greek agora, echoes of a rich past are all around. It adds up to a relaxed environment where guests can delight in stylish barefoot living and the most sublime sunsets. Attractions in the vicinity include: Tomb of the Kings, monasteries, Akamas National Park, villages, mountains. The Azia Resort is situated a few kilometres from Paphos centre and is privileged to share close proximity to the finest locations and treasures of the island. One of the few resorts or hotels with a west-facing outlook, the Azia provides guests with a sublime view of blazing indescribable sunsets.
