The St Raphael Resort & Marina is a landmark 5-star luxury beachfront resort located on Limassol Riviera on the tranquil eastern outskirts of Limassol. Spread across 43,000 square meters of beautifully manicured tropical gardens, it is highly unique for operating the only private, full-service luxury marina integrated into a hotel complex in Cyprus. It is widely recognized as one of the island's premier eco-conscious, Ultra All-Inclusive family resorts.





The "Wow" Element The definitive "Wow" element of the St Raphael Resort & Marina is its private, full-service 237-berth luxury yacht marina, which is the only privately owned marina integrated into a hotel complex in Cyprus. While other luxury beachfront resorts merely overlook the sea, St Raphael builds its entire identity around a dramatic maritime lifestyle hub. Guests swim, dine, and lounge against a breath-taking background of multi-million-dollar mega-yachts and luxury boats docked just yards away from the resort lawns. The marina functions as an official, gated port of entry into the Republic of Cyprus, attracting international sailors and giving the property an exclusive, high-society nautical energy.





Physical Infrastructure & Design

Its physical infrastructure and design is defined by a massive, 43,000-square-meter dual-wing resort blueprint that integrates heavy marine engineering with a classic, sunlit atrium layout. A multi-story, terraced white structure shaped to maximize southern exposure. It centres around a breath-taking six-story glass atrium lobby filled with indoor hanging gardens, glass elevators, and natural light. A separate, low-rise extension engineered specifically for families. This wing features direct, ground-level walkouts to private lawns and specialized recreational water-slide channels. The horizontal design of the buildings blocks the noise from Amathountos Avenue, creating a quiet, private oasis across the gardens.

The dedicated Kids Club counsellors, water-slide marshals, and daytime entertainment staff are routinely highlighted by parents for keeping children safely engaged while remaining highly enthusiastic.
