Arie X

Arie X: 20 Apartments For Sale in Chloraka, Paphos, Cyprus

Arie X is a three-storey residential building on the edge of Chloraka, a kilometre inland from the Paphos coast. It holds twenty apartments in total: five studios, fourteen one-bedroom apartments and one two-bedroom apartment. The architecture is by Andreas Vardas, and the building is rated energy class A under the Cyprus scheme, which puts its insulation and mechanical systems at the top of the local range.

Twenty units is small for a Cyprus development, and that shapes what living there is like. There is no reception desk, no on-site rental office and no second phase under construction behind the first. The communal areas — the roof, the lobby, the co-working room — are shared by twenty households.

A Rooftop Pool and a Co-Working Floor in a Twenty-Unit Building

The swimming pool sits on the roof, with a deck in composite wood or exposed pebble, sun loungers, outdoor showers and an open view towards the sea. On a building of this height in Chloraka that view runs over low-rise village roofs and the coastal strip beyond.

The second communal space is a co-working area: high-speed wireless internet, quiet focus booths, a meeting table that can be booked, and a coffee corner. For a buyer who works remotely from Cyprus for part of the year, that is a room the apartment itself does not have to provide.

The plot is gated, with electrically operated barriers at the entrance and exit and automatic security lighting. The main lobby has access control and a videophone entry system. Inside the apartments, cooling and heating run on ceiling-mounted inverter split units, hot water comes from a dual solar and electric system with its own tank per apartment, and the kitchens are finished with LAMINAM worktops.

Covered Areas From 42 to 109 m², Verandas From 7 to 25 m²

Every apartment is quoted here as a covered area: the interior plus its own covered veranda. A studio starts at 42 m² covered, of which 7 m² is veranda. One-bedroom apartments run from 60 to 75 m² covered, with verandas between 9 and 25 m². The single two-bedroom apartment, on the top floor, has 84 m² of interior and a 25 m² veranda, 109 m² covered in total.

The three floors are not interchangeable. Verandas grow towards the top: the largest one-bedroom veranda, 25 m², is on the third floor, where the two-bedroom apartment also sits. Unit numbers follow the floor, so a reference beginning with 1 is on the first floor and one beginning with 3 is on the third.

How the Building Is Specified

Energy class A is the headline, and the specification behind it is ordinary construction done to a current standard. The structure is reinforced concrete to Eurocode, designed for the seismic loads this island is built for. External walls are hollow brick with three coats of plaster inside and an eight-centimetre thermal insulation system outside; where the facade is fair-face concrete, the insulation sits behind it in rockwool.

Water is handled per apartment: a pressurised system, a dedicated hot-water tank with a circulating pump, and a dual supply heated by both solar panel and electric element, so hot water does not depend on the sun alone in January. Kitchens have a separate drinking-water point. Wardrobes and kitchen units are painted MDF, worktops LAMINAM, and external sockets are waterproof — small things that decide how a coastal apartment ages.

Distances From the Building

The figures below are the development's own, measured from the plot:

Chloraka: a Village Edge Two Kilometres From Paphos Town

Chloraka runs along the coast north of Paphos town, and its character changes with the distance from the sea. The shoreline strip is holiday territory — blue-flag beaches, tavernas, the coastal path towards the harbour. A kilometre inland, where Arie X stands, it is still a village: a church square, a few shops, residential streets that empty out in the evening.

That distance is the practical point. The sea is a ten-minute walk or a five-minute drive, the town centre with its offices, clinics and schools is two kilometres on, and the daily shopping is three minutes away. Paphos International Airport, with flights across Europe through the year, is twenty kilometres down the coast.

Who a Small Building Near Paphos Suits

A studio or one-bedroom apartment at this size is bought for one of two reasons on this coast: as a base for part of the year, or to let. Chloraka has a long season — the British, German and Israeli markets all come here outside the summer peak — and a one-bedroom apartment with a veranda and roof pool access is the shape of apartment that market asks for.

It suits a second consideration too. A twenty-unit building has a smaller common-charge base than a resort with landscaped grounds, pools and gardens to maintain, and the running cost of an apartment here reflects that. What it does not offer is resort infrastructure: no restaurant, no gym, no concierge. The pool, the lobby and the co-working room are the full extent of the shared facilities.
