Anassa, Cyprus

With gorgeous views over clear blue waters from most of its guestrooms, the Anassa – sister hotel to the equally child-friendly Alymra – occupies a picturesque if slightly isolated spot in western Cyprus. Tasteful, serene and relaxing, it’s ideal for luxury family holidays or breaks with well-behaved children, who are very ably looked after in the kids’ clubs but don’t dictate the overall ambiance. The watersports, including diving tuition, are a big draw at the Anassa, as is the thalassotherapy spa, but some guests find the food disappointing and expensive.
