Palm Beach Hotel

Famagusta, North Cyprus

Perfect Position for Relaxing by the Sea

The Arkin Palm Beach Hotel nestles in the southern part of Famagusta Bay, a glorious sweep of golden sand that stretches for miles. Step out of the hotel and straight onto the beach, for lazy days on a sun lounger accompanied by pretty oriental umbrellas, listen to the gentle wind chimes and the   lapping of the waves, or a cooling dip in the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. 

This confirms how clean the sea really is.

Walk the pristine soft sands of the beach for 10 minutes north to explore the ancient city of Famagusta, with its mighty Venetian walls and impressive towers. Or, gaze into history at the former celebrity hotspots now untouched in the border 'buffer' zone of Maras. You will even have a chance to  witness the caretta Turtles swimming too.

Quick and Easy Transfers

With holidays at the Palm Beach Hotel, you can choose from flights into North Cyprus or Larnaca in south Cyprus. 

Transfers from Ercan International Airport take around 40 minutes and include a lovely ride across the North Cyprus countryside. 

Transfers from Larnaca airport take a little longer, around 60 minutes, and involve crossing the border from south to North. 

Please note south Cyprus hire cars cannot usually be driven across the border without purchasing additional insurance and breakdown cover. A combination of a taxi transfer to the hotel and North Cyprus car hire is less hassle and often cheaper - ask the GNC team for details.
