Coral Beach Hotel: New residential buildings and rooms at the five-star resort

The Environmental Authority has approved upcoming additions to the Coral Beach Hotel & Resort, owned by Leptos Calypso Hotels Public Ltd.

Major development work is planned at the luxury hotel, in the Municipality of Peyia with new buildings totaling 172 apartments, 48 ​​new rooms, new pools (shared and room/suite pools), a new spa, new shops, and restaurants.

This application requests the modification of the licensed part of the development that has not yet been implemented.

What is changing, what is being added to the hotel

Specifically, the four licensed, but not constructed, buildings are replaced by three buildings and the already licensed 1,176 hotel beds are increased to 1,370 beds (948 hotel beds and 422 apartment beds).

In more detail, the modifications/conversions, for which the Environment Department gave the green light, mainly include the following:

The construction of 172 apartments [3 new buildings/blocks with 6 floors (block 6), 7 floors (block 4), and 8 floors (block 5) of which one floor in all three buildings is below the level of the public street],
