Description
Azia Resort and Spa
A
small Cyprus hotel may have all the charm in the world, yet what the
discerning guest will sometimes miss is the variety of experience to
make the holiday accommodation an unforgettable pleasure. This is the
thinking behind the concept of the Azia Resort, a foray into
sophisticated escapism that offers stylish barefoot living, understated
luxury and casual unobtrusive service.
Built as three
different sections on adjacent grounds, with plethora of magnificent
spaces for carefree living, the Azia Resort has all the diversity to
keep its guests contented for a week or longer. Each element of the
three-in-one boutique Cyprus hotel concept has its own character and
fullfills different aspirations of the visitor. The Azia Blue is about
sophisticated, spacious living and family luxury hotel. The Azia Club
and Spa is ideal for privacy and indulgence. The Residence is a haven
of individual pampering and innovative style.
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 Cyprus hotels with a west-facing outlook, the
Azia hotel provides guests with a sublime view of blazing indescribable
sunsets.
The
sophisticated design of the trio owes as much to edgy London design as
to Cyprus local influences. The result an atmosphere that is sensuous
yet earthy , shaped by the whole history of Cyprus and by the natural
beauty of the island. The nature is suggested, for instance, by such
details as the use of flower and leaf motifs carved on wood and stone
as well as by the profusion of indoor and outdoor plantings. The
history is present in a slick, fusion manner combining very earthy and
artistic elements. Each area is influenced by a different chapter of
the Cyprus history. Venetian Murano glass, handpainted silk and gold
leaf decoration of the main dining room represent the impact of the
Venetian Republic on the history of the island, while the main lobby
has the airiness suggestive of the open spaces of the agora of ancient
Greece. There the pebble, the marble, the greenery and the abundance of
light combine perfectly with loungy loveseats and design furniture. The
staircase banister looks like seaweeds moving with the waves and the
piano lobby bar is a beautiful reminder of the colonial influence. The
main bar, in deep sensuous colours, with finely carved wood lace on the
walls and hand-wrought iron lamp structures, captures the fusion of
Arab cultures on the island. The sybaritic Asphodel Spa is a hymn to
nature, intriguing to the senses yet calming to the mind. The sound of
falling water, the fine incense of ouzo and anise, the breeze in the
garden treatment rooms, the rich natural textures; these and a variety
of treatments offering different experiences have been deployed in its
design to awake all the senses and sooth the body and mind. This is one
of the best spas in the world , a space that can keep the visitor
content day after day.
