Blue Bay Resort

A 57-Unit Holiday Resort in Kissonerga, Cyprus

Blue Bay Resort sits on one plot of 6,253 m² in Kissonerga, which belongs to the Paphos municipality. The permit drawings allow buildings of up to two floors with a maximum height of 10 metres, so the five blocks stay low and are spread across the site. In total the resort has 57 units: studios, one-bedroom apartments, suites and two-bedroom maisonettes.

The layout follows a holiday-resort model. The smaller units in Blocks A, B and C line a long communal pool, and the maisonettes in Blocks D and E form their own section with private gardens and pools. The renders show white rendered facades with natural stone cladding, timber screens and pergolas, glass balustrades and planted terraces. The interior images are a design concept, so finishes should be confirmed for each unit.

Studios of 35–37 m² and One-Bedroom Apartments in Blocks A and B

Blocks A and B share the same layout and together hold 32 units on two floors. Most of them are studios with an internal area of 35 to 37 m² and a covered veranda of 9 to 16 m². Each block also has two one-bedroom apartments of 51 m² with a 19 m² covered veranda.

The price list rates the view of every unit separately. The one-bedroom apartments and many of the studios are marked with a direct sea view, others with a side sea view, and a few studios have no sea view. Buyers who want the sea in front of them should check the rating of the specific unit before reserving.

14 Swim-Up and Jacuzzi Suites in Block C

Block C contains 14 suites of 40 to 42 m² each. The seven ground-floor suites are swim-up units with direct access from the suite to a pool channel. The seven suites on the first floor each have a private jacuzzi.

Every suite comes with a 4 m² covered veranda and a 7 m² uncovered veranda. The price list marks all 14 suites with a direct sea view. The suites are open-plan with one bathroom and fit couples looking for a compact holiday base.

11 Two-Bedroom Maisonettes with Private Pools in Blocks D and E

Blocks D and E hold 11 maisonettes on two storeys, seven in Block D and four in Block E. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen and living area, a guest WC and direct access to a private garden with a private swimming pool. Upstairs are two bedrooms; the developer's brochure shows each with an en-suite bathroom and one with a sea view.

In Block D the covered area is 95 to 98 m², the uncovered veranda 22 to 52 m² and the private plot 85 to 139 m². Block E has 98 to 110 m² of covered area, 33 to 37 m² of uncovered veranda and private plots of 127 to 180 m². The Block E maisonettes carry a direct sea view; those in Block D have a direct or partial sea view.

Shared Pool, Restaurant, Gym and Co-Working on Site

The resort has its own facilities for residents and guests:

• a long communal swimming pool running along Blocks A, B and C
• a restaurant and café on site
• a lobby with a reception lounge and 24-hour self check-in
• a digital concierge used through a smartphone
• a gym and a sauna
• a co-working space
• private parking inside the development, about 50 spaces on the site plan

Owners who do not stay all year can use an optional rental-management service offered by the developer. It covers guest communication, cleaning, inspections and maintenance. Using it is a free choice, and any unit can equally serve as a private holiday home.

Beach 1 Minute, Paphos Airport 23 Minutes by Car: the Kissonerga Location

Kissonerga lies on the west coast between Paphos town and Coral Bay. By car, the beach, restaurants and shops are about one minute from the resort, a school about 3 minutes, the centre of Paphos about 10 minutes and Paphos Airport about 23 minutes. These are our own estimated driving times.

The developer's site map gives approximate walking distances: Vardas Beach about 550 m, a sandy beach about 650 m, restaurants and the centre of Kissonerga village about 650 m, a wedding venue about 500 m, a mini-market about 900 m and an independent co-working space about 950 m. The developer describes the beach, restaurants, cafés and bus stops as within easy walking distance.

About 2.5 km away, a marina is planned at Potima Bay between Kissonerga and Coral Bay. According to the developer, the plans include around 1,000 berths and a cruise terminal. Banana plantations, a crop Kissonerga is known for in Cyprus, still cover parts of the land between the village and the sea.
