Londa

Top choice in Lemesos (Limassol)


The island’s first couture hotel oozes casual glamour. Rooms have lashings of white linen and handcrafted Cypriot lace, contrasting cool, earthy colours and contemporary custom-made furnishings. Extensive facilities include a spa, an infinity pool and the Caprice Bar, which flips to a smoochy club in the evening when the resident DJ takes centre stage. It's 550m east of the historic centre.
