The days are already beginning to lengthen, the first spring flowers are blooming, and the Mediterranean sun is calling. As we prepare to welcome summer, Kanika Hotels & Resorts invites you to embark on an unforgettable summer journey in Cyprus, engaging every sensation.
Introducing our ‘Five Senses’ Summer Campaign, designed to elevate your holiday experience, offering a rich tapestry of sights, tastes, aromas, sounds, and feelings that truly embody the spirit of the island. In addition, from stunning coastal views to the scent of wild herbs, let the island awaken your senses.

Here’s how to fully immerse yourself in island magic at Kanika Hotels & Resorts using all five senses!
See – saphire shores & legendary landmarks
From the moment the plane begins its descent over Cyprus, shimmering blue seas will captivate your senses. With five stunning hotels to choose from in the Kanika collection, you can spend your days gazing out across the breathtaking blues of the Mediterranean or dipping your toes in and out of crystal-clear swimming pools surrounded by lush green gardens, or explore sunlit ancient ruins.
Golden sunsets in Cyprus are also an occasion to treasure and a sight to remember for a lifetime, whether it’s watching the sun dip below the Petra tou Romiou, the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite in Paphos or witnessing the pinkish-purple skies over the Ayia Napa sea caves at dusk. Wherever you are, every moment is picture-perfect.
Taste – a feast of flavours
At Kanika Hotels & Resorts, we celebrate the essence of Mediterranean flavours, famed for their perfect balance of healthiness and indulgence. Rooted in fresh, locally sourced ingredients, it features an abundance of heart-healthy olive oil, seasonal vegetables, aromatic herbs, and lean proteins like fresh seafood and grilled meats.
Every bite tells a story of Cyprus’ rich culinary heritage—savour fresh halloumi straight off the grill, indulge in slow-cooked kleftiko, or enjoy oven-baked moussaka. For dessert, order sweet and sticky loukoumades, and wash it all down with Commandaria, the island’s historic dessert wine and the oldest named wine in the world still in production!
The rhythmic waves and briny scent act as natural therapy, clearing the mind and refreshing the spirit. Rich in negative ions, sea air is known to boost mood, enhance relaxation, and even improve respiratory health. Moreover, the rhythmic sound of waves combined with the crisp, briny scent creates a natural form of therapy, helping to clear the mind and refresh the spirit.
Stroll by your Kanika hotel or enjoy the sea breeze from your balcony— a simple, powerful way to recharge.
The summer air in Cyprus is also punctuated by the sweet perfume of jasmine on balmy summer evenings. You can even head out into the countryside and breathe in the scent of citrus groves and fragrant herbs (like oregano and thyme) that grow wild across the rural landscape. A visit to a local winery or a traditional coffee shop will also fill your senses with rich aromas.
Hear – melodies of an island
The sounds of Cyprus are a symphony of tradition, nature, and everyday life. Close your eyes and listen, the soothing crash of the waves, the whisper of trees swaying in the sea breeze, and the distant melodic strum of a bouzouki set the soundtrack to your summer.
Bouzouki music fills tavernas, family gatherings, and lively summer festivals like ‘panigiria’ with food, dancing, and performances.
While you explore the island’s towns and villages, you’ll also often hear the unmistakable ‘click-clack’ of backgammon pieces as men gather in shaded coffee shops, sipping on strong Cypriot coffee and exchanging stories. The lively hum of conversation, punctuated by laughter and the occasional thud of a coffee cup on a wooden table, creates a warm and familiar soundtrack to village life. In fact, each sound tells a story, inviting you to slow down and savour the timeless charm of Cyprus.
Feel – soothing textures
Take a barefoot walk on golden shores, feel warm sand, and enjoy the sea’s refreshing splash on your skin. Then, relax on a sunbed and let the warm sun rejuvenate your body and soul.
Beyond the water’s edge, there are plenty of hands-on experiences to enjoy. Knead dough for village-style bread or join a pottery class to mold clay into a unique keepsake!
