Celebrating Christmas in Paphos in sunkissed seaside style

The soothing sparkle of fairy lights, the indulgent taste of festive treats, the excitement of exchanging gifts and bonding with friends and family – no holidays are quite as magical as Christmas and New Year!

As the festive season fast approaches, many of us are already dreaming of time out away from the office or just escaping the everyday routine. And here in the Mediterranean, there’s no reason to huddle indoors or wave goodbye to that beautiful, carefree summer feeling.

Christmas in Paphos is usually a gloriously sunny affair, with average temperatures by the coast hovering between 18–20 degrees Celsius at the end of the year. This means you can enjoy vibrant festivities while soaking up the sunshine under clear blue skies. Just imagine unwrapping your presents beside palm trees, building sandcastles with the kids instead of snowmen, and savouring a fine holiday feast with views of the glistening sea. All this, with luxurious accommodation, heaps of entertainment, creative classes and workshops, fun surprises, gala dinners, and extravagant parties and shows in the mix.

Welcome to the magic of Christmas in the Paphos sunshine at Kanika Hotels & Resorts!

An all-round extravaganza at Alexander the Great Beach Hotel

December is a notoriously hectic period in the lead-up to Christmas Day. However, at Alexander the Great Beach Hotel, the festive season is all about forgetting the ‘to-do’ list and recharging those batteries. Instead of rushing around, you’ll get to focus on relaxation, laughter, and inspiration. The varied festive programme includes a quiz to test your knowledge about the highs and lows of 2023, flower arranging, Christmas card-making, Christmas movies, and fun games like hoopla, shuffleboard, target toss, and much more. 

Indulgent afternoon teas are also a highlight of the holiday agenda. Even if you can’t stay at the hotel, you can still enjoy a delightful afternoon with friends or family in the luxurious lobby with chocolates, cakes, pastries, and local treats to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

Gastronomes spending Christmas in Paphos can also delight in festive menus, gala dinners, and rich buffets. Special culinary extravaganzas are planned for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve, and New Year’s Day. Many events will be accompanied by live music to keep you on your toes throughout your festive evenings. And when it’s time for that final nightcap, the feelgood fun continues with uplifting performances and musicals by the Kanika All Stars.

Festive family fun at Olympic Lagoon Resorts Paphos 

Time out with all the family during the Christmas holidays is incredibly precious. But we know how hard it can be to keep everyone satisfied and entertained. At Olympic Lagoon Resorts Paphos, the festive season is all about all-included family fun from morning to night, so you don’t need to think about a thing. 

An action-packed Christmas programme ensures little ones will be thoroughly entertained in the furry company of the Kanika Safari Stars and Little Monsters. From Elf Olympics, costume making, igloo building, t-shirt painting, and gift hunts to Christmas parties, mini discos, and movie nights, there’s never a dull moment! 

While the little ones enjoy supervised fun, you can make the most of adult games, card making, festive melodies, live music, cookery demonstrations, cocktail mixology, and much more throughout the day. Come evening, gala dinners, lavish buffets, and live music heighten the festive vibes. That’s not to forget electrifying shows in the one-of-a-kind Xperience Arena for the most memorable Christmas holidays in Paphos.

A heartfelt celebration for two at Amavi Hotel 

There’s nothing quite as romantic as time out alone with your partner over the festive season. And at Amavi MadeForTwo Hotel, the couples-only experience is designed to nourish your heart, body, and mind. Snuggle up in luxurious rooms or suites with views across the glistening Med, bask in the sunshine on our lush grounds, walk arm-in-arm along the seafront, or retreat into Evera Spa & Wellness to recharge and reconnect à deux.

A whole host of organised events throughout the holiday period enhance the amorous feeling of togetherness. Warm your spirits with a hot chocolate mixology session and unlock your creativity with festive art and candlemaking classes. Or take it easy and chill out side-by-side to the melodic sounds of Christmas carols, live violin, and harp. Want to embark on a new adventure together? Head out on an organized winery visit and treat the taste buds to the delicious taste of fine local produce. 

Tantalising gastronomy will also please the palate at Amavi. Tuck into hearty breakfasts, international buffets, and gala dinners featuring a mouthwatering spread of traditional delights, modern culinary creations, and premium drinks. Live performances also jazz up the atmosphere come evening. As the New Year approaches, ring in 2024 in style with one of the most exciting New Year’s Eve parties in Paphos – a dazzling Boogie Extravaganza Gala Event with the Amy Fasola live band playing funky 70s tunes. All this, followed by fireworks, DJ music, and a toast to new beginnings! 

For a fine festive dining experience outside the hotel grounds, book an intimate evening at Don Carlo and indulge in authentic Italian gastronomy in a stunning neoclassical building in the heart of old town Paphos.
