Almond Holiday Village: Cyprus's Comfortable Boutique Hotel
Almond Holiday Village is one of the most popular boutique destinations in the region. It is located on the peaceful western coast of Kyrenia in Northern Cyprus. This 3-star hotel has been run by the same family since 1998. It is a true example of Cypriot culture, where traditional architecture, warmth, and the calm rhythms of Mediterranean life come together in perfect harmony. This tranquil region, with the Five Finger Mountains on one side and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea on the other, invites visitors to relax, reconnect, and experience Northern Cyprus in its most authentic form.
