Columbia Beach Resort

Columbia Beach Resort is situated in the wide sweeping arc of Pissouri bay with its sandy beaches, 'blue flag' rated azure waters, dazzlingly white cliffs and a seascape that stretches forever.

High on the hill behind nestles the little town of Pissouri, home to fishermen, vine growers and crafts people as well as many who commute to Limassol and Paphos. Pissouri Bay is breathtakingly pretty with its numerous fishing boats and beyond the little shops and tavernas - at the far end of the bay- is where the Columbia Beach Resort nestles in tranquil isolation with a warm Cypriot welcome for its guests.
