A great family‑focused, all‑inclusive hotel is the Louis Phaethon Beach. It is located in Paphos, on the southwest coast of Cyprus, in a quiet spot just outside the main resort area. The hotel sits right beside a small rocky beach, with sandy stretches just a short stroll away. It’s also very convenient for travel days. TUI lists the hotel as being 10km from Paphos International Airport, making the transfer roughly 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. It’s an easy, coastal base with sea views, quick access to Paphos harbour and a relaxed, beachfront setting.
Highlights
This hotel really stands out for its brilliant family‑friendly facilities, and the pool scene is one of its biggest strengths. The hotel has two large pools plus a summer‑only waterpark with slides, making it a major hit for kids and teens. It also offers plenty of activities, including tennis courts and a wide mix of daytime options, so there’s always something going on. Another key highlight is the TUI KIDS’ CLUB, which provides themed sessions and supervised activities led by trained, English‑speaking childcare staff, giving parents some relaxed downtime while little ones are entertained. Add in its quiet seafront setting just outside Paphos and easy access to the harbour, and it’s a strong all‑rounder for families looking for fun, convenience and great value.
