Preferred and unusual venues

A small Cyprus hotel may have all the charm in the world, yet what the discerning guest will sometimes miss is the variety of experience to make their stay an unforgettable pleasure. This is the thinking behind the concept of the Azia Resort, a foray into sophisticated escapism that offers stylish barefoot living, understated luxury and casual unobtrusive service.

  

Built as three different hotels on adjacent grounds, with a plethora of magnificent spaces for carefree living, the Azia Resort has all the diversity to keep its guests contented for a week or longer. Each element of the three-in-one boutique Cyprus hotel concept has its own character and fullfills different aspirations of the visitor.

The Azia Blue is about sophisticated, spacious living and family luxury hotel.

The Azia Club and Spa is ideal for privacy and indulgence.

The Residence is a haven of individual pampering and innovative style.

The Azia Resort is situated a few kilometres from Paphos centre and is privileged to share close proximity to the finest locations and treasures of the island. One of the few resorts or Cyprus hotels with a west-facing outlook, the Azia hotel provides guests with a sublime view of blazing indescribable sunsets.

    

The sophisticated design of the trio owes as much to edgy London design as to Cyprus local influences. The result an atmosphere that is sensuous yet earthy , shaped by the whole history of Cyprus and by the natural beauty of the island. The nature is suggested, for instance, by such details as the use of flower and leaf motifs carved on wood and stone as well as by the profusion of indoor and outdoor plantings. The history is present in a slick, fusion manner combining very earthy and artistic elements. Each area is influenced by a different chapter of the Cyprus history. Venetian Murano glass, handpainted silk and gold leaf decoration of the main dining room represent the impact of the Venetian Republic on the history of the island, while the main lobby has the airiness suggestive of the open spaces of the agora of ancient Greece. There the pebble, the marble, the greenery and the abundance of light combine perfectly with loungy loveseats and design furniture. The staircase banister looks like seaweeds moving with the waves and the piano lobby bar is a beautiful reminder of the colonial influence. The main bar, in deep sensuous colours, with finely carved wood lace on the walls and hand-wrought iron lamp structures, captures the fusion of Arab cultures on the island. The sybaritic Asphodel Spa is a hymn to nature, intriguing to the senses yet calming to the mind. The sound of falling water, the fine incense of ouzo and anise, the breeze in the garden treatment rooms, the rich natural textures; these and a variety of treatments offering different experiences have been deployed in its design to awake all the senses and sooth the body and mind. This is one of the best spas in the world , a space that can keep the visitor content day after day.

The Azia is fully equipped for hosting corporate meetings and conferences, offering a variety of areas and function rooms. For Corporate events the hotel also offers the latest in audiovisual equipment and simultaneous interpretation systems through the local providers.

We also cater to fully customizable corporate incentive programs.

Morokambos plantation, a plantation covering an area of 530.000sqm includes 15,000 Mediterranean and tropical plants. Various citrus trees, avocado trees, palm trees, guavas and mangos in thousands. In principle it is a commercial plantation, while every effort is made to link the Morokampos plantation to the hotel, for the benefit and pleasure of its guests.

The Azia provides a variety of produce bursting with unspoiled freshness, harvested daily from the trees of the plantation. Your hosts, the Economides family, invite guests to explore the plantation, pick their own fruits, and enjoy a satisfying picnic in the shade of the walnut groves.

Today, all the fruits consumed in the hotel come from the plantation on a daily basis. You can enjoy all these fruits - fresh from the trees - as well as fresh orange juice, a range of jams for breakfast and a number of fruit desserts and snacks.

If you are looking for something a little different for your next corporate event or conference why not consider Port Lympne Animal Park in Hythe, Kent. The 350 acre wild animal park is set in natural wild countryside, housing a magnificent Historic Mansion and elegant gardens.

Described by Country Life as the last historic house to be built in the 20th century, Port Lympne was designed by the renowned architect Sir Herbert Baker for Sir Philip Sassoon during World War I, and represents his best work.

Between the wars, Sir Philip entertained many famous people here including Lloyd George, the Prince of Wales and Mrs Simpson, Queen Mary, Charlie Chaplin, Lawrence of Arabia and Winston Churchill to name but a few.

Highlights of the mansion and gardens include...

• The Spencer Roberts Mural Room - depicting animals and birds of South East Asia
• The Rex Whistler Tent Room - recently restored by experts from the Tate Gallery
• The Martin Jordan Mural Room showing dramatic scenes from around the animal kingdom
• The striking Moorish Patio and terraces
• Fifteen acres of beautiful landscaped gardens including vineyard, figary, sundial and chess board gardens

For the most rewarding group incentives, successful meetings and conferences, consider life afloat at sea; the atmosphere is elegant yet friendly, upscale but not uptight. There's a far greater sense of cohesiveness and camaraderie, and you'll also enjoy an unmatched level of personal service from seasoned professionals.

From the excitement of travel to the luxurious facilities and multitude of options, a cruise is ideal for meetings and incentive groups. All-inclusive fares mean you can control costs more effectively. Also, your delegates are more likely to attend group functions and network with colleagues in the self-contained environment of a ship.

Designing a meaningful cruise incentive award is unquestionably one of the best ways to increase company loyalty and boost morale. Frankly, nothing motivates people better to work harder than the thought of not having to. And although a land-locked resort is great, where's the excitement of travel, the romance of the sea, and the thrill of discovery and adventure? There just isn't a better way to motivate people to work harder than the thought of an exotic, luxurious, relaxing cruise to exciting destinations. What's more, costs are easier to control on a cruise. Unlike most hotels, cruise ships are all-inclusive: meals, gratuities, entertainment, room service, non-alcoholic beverages; virtually everything is included in the price. Best of all, though, you will never have to offer a set-menu since all of the restaurants serve a la carte meals to your entire group or charter.

A cruise is the ultimate group incentive because it offers two incentive awards in one: the luxurious pampering and superb facilities of a luxury land-based resort combined with the allure of travel to exotic destinations.

Consider the joy of discovering new places while indulging mind and body in the most luxurious surroundings imaginable, the endless pampering and impeccable service, the superb culinary pleasures of award-winning restaurants, the extravagant amenities and state-of-the-art facilities.

From spacious conference and meeting rooms to state-of-the-art multimedia facilities, a number of companies including Norwegian Coastal Voyages and Radisson Seven Seas' six-star ships have been designed with full business capabilities. Ships feature comfortable meeting rooms and multi-purpose lounges to accommodate groups from 10 to 700.

Think of a ship as a floating conference centre furnished with sophisticated multimedia equipment to accommodate your business agenda. Hold your awards ceremony in a multi-tiered show lounge. Almost anything is possible.
