Since bursting onto Cyprus’ hotel scene in July this year, the long-awaited City of Dreams Mediterranean Resort in Limassol has reshaped the landscape of luxury accommodations on the European island.
This isn’t just a resort built on top of a casino – it’s home to a splash-worthy mega pool complex, a concert venue hosting megastars from across the Middle East and beyond, and several top-notch restaurants that are more than worthy of a detour.
While palatial suites are at the beck and call for those seeking the ultimate indulgence, the hotel’s Premier Room quietly yet confidently holds its ground.
It serves as an epitome of the resort’s vision – a seamless blend of Cypriot charm and state-of-the-art amenities.
The first impression for any visitor is invariably the view, which is best enjoyed from the balcony.
To one side, there’s the magnificent sweep of the Troodos mountain range, an ancient spine of rock that has witnessed the ebb and flow of civilisations.
It is complemented beautifully by the Fassouri orange groves, which come alive especially during harvest season, their fresh citrus scent wafting in the breeze.
On the other side, the Akrotiri Salt Lake seems almost ethereal, extending towards the Mediterranean Sea like a shimmering mirage.
The interior of the Premier Room builds on this visual opulence, taking cues from the Mediterranean by interspersing aquatic blues with sandy neutrals.
The ambiance isn’t just a reflection of the coastline outside but an interpretation of Cyprus’ natural palette, with a generous floor area of 42m² combining form with function.
Modern travellers will appreciate the attention to tech amenities. Wireless charging docks, USB ports and a state-of-the-art smart TV underscore the resort’s commitment to staying ahead of the curve.
Yet, in the midst of this technological cocooon, traditional comforts haven’t been overlooked.
The bathroom, for instance, offers a truly indulgent misting rainfall shower with satisfyingly high water pressure, while those preferring a languid soak following a day in the Cypriot sunshine can slink in to the oversized bathtub.
A separate seating area, poised perfectly for either catching up on work or indulging in a quiet moment with a book, adds another dimension to the room.
Location is everything, and with Premier Rooms located between levels 3 to 14 guests are well-positioned to not only enjoy the views but also to easily access the myriad offerings within the resort.
Whether it’s an early morning dip in the sprawling pool complex, a sumptuous meal at one of the on-site restaurants, or a rendezvous on the main floor, everything is just an elevator ride away.
Although City of Dreams boasts accommodations that soar into the thousands of dollars per night, the Premier Room more than holds its own.
The space, while being more accessible in price, doesn’t skimp on opulence or comfort.
Experience the authentic essence of Cypriot elegance blended with modern amenities – and enjoy the true Mediterranean dream.
