Coral Bay · Area guide
Beaches, restaurants, day trips and shopping around our villas – tried and tested by us on the spot
Welcome to Coral Bay
Coral Bay lies on the west coast of Cyprus, about 12 kilometres north of Paphos, and belongs to the municipality of Peyia. Its heart is the sheltered sandy bay with gently shelving water – ideal for families. Our two villas are about a 10-minute walk from the beach.
Christian lives in Coral Bay himself. Together with Kimmy, he collects their favourite places here: where we eat out, which day trips are worth it and where to do your shopping. All tried out ourselves and updated regularly.

Getting around
By hire car
For trips to the Akamas region, Latchi or the Troodos Mountains, a hire car from Paphos Airport is the most convenient option. Cyprus drives on the left.
Without a car
The beach, restaurants and supermarkets in Coral Bay are all within walking distance. Regular buses connect Coral Bay with Paphos, and you can order taxis by phone.
Only need a car for a few hours? Car sharing with RideNow
I use the RideNow app a lot myself and love it: unlock the car with the app and drive by the minute, hour or day, fuel included. Perfect for a trip to Paphos or another beach. Sign up with my code CFR1X2 and you get starting credit – and so do I.
Good to know: if your trip ends in Coral Bay, RideNow charges a zone fee. Minimum age, conditions and current prices are shown in the app.
