If you’re looking for somewhere superb to stay on your next holiday then look no further than one of our ‘Spotlight’ hotels!

We’ve picked out the places to stay that we think are worth shouting about, and the TUI BLUE Atlantica Bay is no different!

Whether you’re completely new to a Cyprus getaway or you want to change things up from your usual holidays to Ayia Napa or Paphos, this hotel in lovely Limassol has everything you need for a memorable escape.

Sleek and stylish

The hotel has been designed with adults in mind, so elegant interiors and chic surroundings are a given. Add that to the fact that this is a TUI BLUE hotel, and you’re onto a winner!

If you’ve visited a TUI BLUE before you’ll know they serve up first-class service combined with a dedication to authentic flavours and experiences – meaning the food and facilities here will be second to none.

The hotel is situated on a hillside, giving you sweeping sea views set amongst gorgeous gardens in the historic area of Amathus.

If you’re in need of a child-free break amidst beautiful settings in sunny Cyprus, the TUI BLUE Atlantica Bay is certainly a contender.

Fancy a dip?

The curvy pool here is a large number, perfect for those morning swims when you already need to cool off. There’s a whirlpool if you fancy topping up your tan in bubbling bliss, as well as a waterside bar that’s perfect for picking up ice creams and your favourite cocktail!

On top of that there’s an indoor/outdoor pool, which is perfect for swimming a few lengths if you’re hoping to burn off some of those All Inclusive treats. The roof and walls of this pool retract in the summer which opens out the space into the sunshine wonderfully, with them retracting in winter when it’s a little chiller. This pool is also heated in winter months too!

Foodie Heaven

Now if you’ve been to a TUI BLUE hotel before, you’ll know that fantastic food is one of the main features of this heavenly hotel collection – and the TUI BLUE Atlantica Bay is no different!

As with all other TUI BLUE hotels, you can look forward to live cooking as well as rustic regional flavours and favourites from around the world at a la carte restaurants.

There’s 3 restaurants at this hotel, with the main eatery being buffet style – Leda Restaurant. Expect occasional themed buffets, show-cooking, carving stations, and an almighty salad bar! The outside seating area overlooks the pretty pool and gardens, making for a lovely al fresco dining spot.

Then there’s the Culinarium A La Carte restaurant, where you get one visit per stay included on a holiday of seven nights or more. This signature restaurant is the place to be for a romantic date night abroad!

If you’re one to get peckish in between meals, cold snacks are also available between 10am right through ‘til 1am at the Olympus Piano Bar – where a cocktail evening also takes place on the terrace here every Tuesday. Cheers to that!

There’s also Sands Beach Club Resto – a public beach bar on site that serves up the likes of fresh salads, light bites, and local dishes. Food and drinks are payable here, but as a guest of the hotel you receive a 15% discount. We love this spot for afternoon drinks as the sun sets!

But that’s not all on offer here – the hotel serves up the likes of wine tasting, gin tasting, cocktail masterclasses and cooking courses three times a week. So you might return from your getaway a budding Jamie Oliver!

Plus. if you fancy a romantic beach day with your other half, or perhaps a day trip out somewhere, you can request made-up picnic baskets from the hotel to take with you. Ideal!

Vibrant days and chilled nights

There’s plenty going on at this hotel if you like to make the most of your days on holiday – but of course, the serene surroundings are perfectly set up for you also do nothing but rest and recharge.

If you want a break from bathing in the sun, you can break up your days with any of the array of activities going on during the day. There’s a full daytime programme of games and events to get stuck into, from table tennis tournaments to shuffle board, darts and even aqua discos.

There’s also the likes of yoga and pilates, as well as a superb spa at hand for a range of relaxing therapies – think Indian head massages and chocolate body wraps. They’re charged as extra, but worth it as a holiday treat!

Nights here are low-key affair, where after-dinner drinks can be enjoyed alongside a live pianist and other local entertainment. The cocktails here are dreamy, and the nights are the perfect time to test them out!

See a different side to Cyprus

Many of you may have visited the likes of Ayia Napa and Paphos in sunny Cyprus before, but this hotel resides in a historic area of lovely Limassol – a lesser frequented, but no less beautiful part of the island.

The hotel itself is in a quiet area so you won’t find busy crowds or heaps of holidaymakers here, making for a lovely escape in secluded surroundings – but there’s still a nearby shop and a handful of local restaurants nearby.

There’s a local bus service which takes you into Limassol itself for only a couple of euros, giving you the chance to explore all this city has to offer – including a marvellous medieval castle and a stunning seafront with plenty going on.

And if you still want to venture into Paphos, it’s less than an hour’s drive away – so great for a day out.
