Tucked into the foothills of the Kyrenia mountain range, Altinkaya Holiday Resort is the kind of place that is difficult to leave and even harder to forget. Family-run and genuinely warm in atmosphere, it sits midway between the historic village of Bellapais and Kyrenia — widely regarded as one of the most beautiful harbour towns in the Mediterranean, with a characterful mix of Venetian history, crystal-clear water and a waterfront lined with some of the best mezze restaurants in Cyprus.
Whether you are looking for a peaceful winter escape among the mountains or a sun-filled summer holiday with the pool, the gardens and Kyrenia's famous waterfront just minutes away, Altinkaya delivers something increasingly rare — real character, real value and a welcome that feels personal.
Cyprus Paradise Experts Recommend:
The Altinkaya's location between Bellapais and Kyrenia gives guests easy access to two of North Cyprus's finest attractions. Bellapais Abbey — a magnificent 13th-century Gothic monastery with sweeping views over Kyrenia Bay — is just a 5-minute drive and well worth a morning visit. For those who enjoy walking, the ancient Crusader Path from nearby Ozankoy village leads up to Bellapais and makes for a rewarding and scenic walk.
Kyrenia town is just 1.5 miles away — the recently renovated harbour is one of the most picturesque in the Eastern Mediterranean, dotted with boats and lined with colourful waterfront bars and restaurants, and overlooked by the impressive Venetian castle. Boat trips along the coast depart from the harbour regularly. The nearest sandy beach is around 12 minutes by car, and the Ozankoy Carob Festival in August is a wonderful insight into local Cypriot traditions for guests visiting in summer.
The outdoor pool sits within the resort's landscaped gardens and is the natural focal point of the property during the warmer months. Sunbeds and umbrellas are provided around the pool, and the poolside snack bar serves refreshments throughout the day. The well-kept gardens surrounding the pool give the resort a calm and private feel — a peaceful spot to unwind between excursions to Bellapais and Kyrenia. Outside the summer months, the gardens remain a beautiful and peaceful space and the resort's indoor bar provides a warm and welcoming retreat.
The Armonia Restaurant in the main hotel building serves a daily open buffet breakfast and, in the evenings, an open buffet meze alongside a choice of main courses from a set menu — a relaxed and good-value dining experience that reflects the local Cypriot style of eating. The bar is open throughout the day and evening for drinks and light refreshments.
Altinkaya Holiday Resort occupies one of the most charming positions of any hotel in the Kyrenia area — set in the foothills of the Kyrenia mountain range, with views across the gardens and down towards the sparkling blue of Kyrenia Bay. Bellapais Abbey, one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in the Eastern Mediterranean, is just 5 minutes away by car. Kyrenia harbour, castle and town centre are around 10 minutes from the resort, where guests will find a recently renovated waterfront lined with restaurants, cafés and bars to suit every taste. The surrounding Kyrenia mountains provide a dramatic and beautiful backdrop throughout the stay, and the resort's position makes it equally well placed for a quiet evening in the gardens or a lively night out in Kyrenia.
During the high season and subject to occupancy, Altinkaya Holiday Resort hosts Turkish Cypriot evenings and barbecues with live music — a popular feature among guests looking to experience a genuine taste of North Cypriot culture without leaving the resort.
