Casale Panayiotis
See Cyprus’s hidden side
A stylish mountain bolthole surrounded by stunning scenery, this unique hotel offers a taste of authentic Cypriot village life.
Spread across more than a dozen picturesque buildings in an ancient spa village in the Troodos mountains, Casale Panayiotis is not so much a hotel as an immersive experience. What began as one man’s plan to breathe new life into his childhood home has become a showpiece of regeneration, and one of the most engaging places to stay in Cyprus. It’s quite a setting: think well-worn cobbled lanes lined by red-tiled stone houses on the side of a leafy valley, with dramatic scenery all around. A few days here provides a chance to swap beaches for pine-scented forests, discover - and help sustain - the traditional way of life in a village, and see a side of the island that many visitors don’t even know exists.

If you love French cuisine, look no further than La Belle Vie

An incredible way to kick off your Maldives holiday
“There's something pretty special about travelling by seaplane. The view from the sky is extraordinary - tiny specs of island and shades of blue that barely look real.”


The iconic, mile-long sandbank
Perfect for isolated sunbathing, dramatic photoshoots, and watching breathtaking Maldivian sunsets.

Snorkelling and diving isn't the only way to catch sight of the underwater world
“If snorkelling and diving isn't for you, it's possible to catch a glimpse of the reef from a glass-bottomed boat instead.”

Food & drink
There’s an authentic local flavour to everything at Casale Panayiotis. Just walking along the narrow lanes to different parts of this “dispersed” hotel makes you part of village life, while eating at its restaurants introduces you to family recipes handed down over generations, made using seasonal local ingredients from the immediate area. Thre are three restaurants in total, as well as a bar. In-room dining and private dining are a treat, for something a little more exclusive.
The restaurants at Casale Panayiotis may occupy different buildings, but they share a similar approach: to make the best use of local, seasonal ingredients, including some from their own orchards. Start the day with a delicious buffet breakfast in the Troullino dining room, or treat yourself to a generously filled breakfast basket in the privacy of your cosy room. Lunch and dinner are served al fresco at Byzantino restaurant, and its offering of homemade gourmet Cypriot dishes and the views from the roof terrace are a good excuse for taking it slowly. For something lighter, Pantheon is the place to head for wraps, salads, pizzas and pasta, or maybe just a mid-afternoon ice cream, on the large open-air terrace. Byzantino Café also has a limited selection of salads, sandwiches and sharing platters to savour while you sip your restorative herb tea or Cypriot coffee. The newest addition to the hotel is Loutraki Grill Restaurant where you can enjoy steaks and other grilled specialities with a fantastic mountain view.
The hotel’s library lounge is a welcoming place to put your feet up after a day of exploring, and a quieter alternative to the people-watching joys of the village taverna.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
