Londa Hotel is a boutique-style hotel on the coast east of Limassol, in the Germasogeia area, with a private beach, a spa and just 68 rooms. It is aimed at travellers who want a polished, quiet and design-minded stay, with a more personal feel than the big resort towers along the same stretch of sea. The mood is relaxed, upscale and Mediterranean, and the setting between the old town and the hotel strip makes it easy to enjoy both a beach day and an evening in the city. It is one of the more refined places to stay in Limassol without paying the very top prices of the largest five-star resorts. The rooms and suites are the heart of the appeal. They range from superior rooms with a partial sea view to deluxe rooms and a long ladder of suites, including two-bedroom suites, executive and elite suites and a presidential suite, nearly all with a sea view. For couples, a deluxe room or a suite with a sea view is the way to go, and for families or small groups the larger suites offer useful space. The hotel has an outdoor pool, open in the warmer months, with loungers, umbrellas and a poolside bar, and a private beach where guests can use loungers, towels and umbrellas and even join beach yoga. Londa Spa and Club is a full-service spa with treatment rooms, a sauna, a steam room and a hot tub, and the health club runs fitness and yoga classes. Dining centres on Caprice, which serves Mediterranean dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including al fresco meals by the sea. A garden, a terrace, free WiFi and free parking add to the comfort, and babysitting can be arranged for a fee.
Germasogeia is a residential and resort district on the eastern edge of Limassol, so you have a mix of quiet seafront and nearby restaurants rather than the bustle of the old town. Galatex Beach is a short walk, and Dasoudi Beach is not much farther, while Amathus Beach and the ruins of the ancient city of Amathus are a few minutes’ drive.
Limassol Marina and the old port are about ten minutes by car, making it easy to go out for a seafood dinner, a walk along the Molos promenade or a visit to the medieval castle. Several restaurants and cafes are within a few minutes’ walk of the hotel.
This hotel is ideal for couples, honeymooners and travellers who value atmosphere and service over a long list of attractions on site. It is also a convenient base for exploring the south coast, with the Kourion ruins, Kolossi Castle, the Troodos mountains and the wine villages all reachable by hire car or an organised tour. If you want a huge resort with slides, kids’ clubs and several pools, a larger property will serve you better. If you want a calm, well-run hotel with a private beach, this is a good choice.
Some practical notes
The outdoor pool is seasonal, so check dates if you are visiting outside the summer, and the private beach is a lovely extra in the warmer months. Ask for a sea-view room, since the view across the bay is a big part of the experience, and consider booking dinner at Caprice early in summer. Airport transfers can be arranged for a fee, and rates are higher in July and August and lower in spring and autumn, when the weather is warm and the sea inviting.
