Falling in Love with Parklane

Arrival & First Impressions

From the moment I landed in Larnaca, I felt warmly welcomed. Our friendly driver chatted about Cypriot history and local tips as we made the short and scenic transfer to Limassol. On arrival at Parklane, I was shown to a spacious room overlooking the adults-only pool, complete with a personal welcome message on the TV—such a lovely touch!

Shortly after settling in, Lindsey invited me to join the group for drinks. We sipped sangria cocktails at Vithos, the chic poolside bar, while the other travel agents arrived. The setting was beautiful and relaxed, the perfect place to get to know each other before dinner. That evening, we dined at Il Teatro, an Italian restaurant with gorgeous views and incredible food—our first taste of the culinary magic to come.

Day 1: Exploring the Resort & Local Culture

The next morning began with a leisurely breakfast, and what a breakfast it was! The buffet was vast, with everything from fresh fruit and pastries to local Cypriot dishes.

We then had a full hotel tour, exploring different room types—including the breathtaking villas with private pools. Every room was stylish, spacious, and thoughtfully designed. The kids’ club was a real highlight too, especially the splash park and range of activities suitable for all ages. It’s clear that Parklane caters just as well to families as it does to couples and groups.

Lunch at Vithos was another standout, with fresh, delicious food served right by the water.

In the afternoon, we enjoyed some poolside relaxation before meeting again at 5pm for a special local cultural showcase held weekly at the resort. This included barefoot grape-crushing, Cypriot coffee tasting, and stalls with local crafts—an authentic and fun insight into the island’s traditions.

That evening, we explored the ancient ruins of Amathus, one of Cyprus’s most significant archaeological sites, followed by a sunset stroll around the stunning Limassol Marina. We ended the night with a feast at a traditional taverna in Limassol’s Old Town. The food just kept coming—mezze after mezze of incredible local dishes. It was a perfect end to a day full of flavour and history.

Day 2: Wellness, Beachside Dining & Fine Wines

On our final full day, I started the morning with fresh fruit at breakfast before splitting off with a few others to try aqua aerobics (we were more enthusiastic than skilled, but it was such fun!). Others opted for a padel tennis session, showing the range of wellness and sport options available at the resort.

Lunch took us to Nammos Limassol, an ultra-stylish beachfront restaurant that’s a must for anyone visiting Parklane. Great music, gorgeous sea views, and an elevated yet relaxed vibe made it a definite highlight—not to mention the food, which was absolutely out of this world.

After a free afternoon to soak up the sun, we regrouped for a wine tasting featuring local Cypriot wines—some of which were truly exceptional and perfect for pairing with Mediterranean cuisine. We rounded off the evening with a sensational dinner at La Petite Maison, where the cocktails were as memorable as the French-Mediterranean fare.

Saying Goodbye

All too soon, it was time to say goodbye. Our wonderful hosts—Lindsey and Scott from Seamless Travel Marketing, along with Christina and Evelyn from Parklane—ensured every moment was seamless, enjoyable, and informative.

Final Thoughts

Parklane Limassol is a standout property: luxurious without being over-the-top, elegant yet welcoming. The food at every restaurant was exceptional, the service faultless, and the facilities impressive for both couples and families. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape, a family-friendly luxury resort, or a destination wedding venue, Parklane ticks every box.

I left Cyprus with a full heart, a full stomach, and a strong desire to return—and I can’t wait to help my clients experience this amazing resort for themselves.
