Compact, calm and naturally grounding, the city allows professionals to balance structured working days with meaningful rest, thoughtful dining and discreet networking.
Increasingly chosen by executives, EU delegations and project teams seeking a less frenetic base than larger capitals, Paphos works quietly and efficiently. Meetings end earlier, conversations linger longer and the environment does much of the work for you.
This guide offers practical recommendations for navigating Paphos between meetings, dinners and moments of pause, following the rhythm and structure of a well-planned business stay.
Where to stay: resorts that support focus, privacy and recovery
Ideal for business travellers who value discretion, service and the ability to fully switch off once the workday ends.
Minthis Resort
Set slightly inland, Minthis is designed for balance. It is particularly well suited to longer stays, strategy retreats or high-level visits where focus matters. The resort’s spa is not an add-on but a core experience: quiet, restorative and deeply calming. Early mornings here feel productive rather than pressured.
Rooms and suites are spacious, natural light is generous and the surrounding landscape creates a sense of separation from daily noise. For informal meetings, M Bar offers a refined but relaxed setting, while Amaracus Restaurant provides an elegant, composed environment for business dinners where conversation flows naturally and service is attentive without intrusion.
Cap St George
Cap St George works particularly well for hosting and entertaining. Its sense of scale, sea views and polished service make it suitable for delegations and senior guests.
The Chroma Lounge afternoon tea, served until 18:00, is an underrated asset: an ideal space for informal discussions or a soft transition between meetings and evening plans. For dinner, Bonsai Restaurant delivers a refined Japanese experience that feels contemporary and precise, while Kohili Restaurant, set by the beach, offers international cuisine in a relaxed yet impressive setting, perfect for hosting guests who appreciate atmosphere as much as food.
Almyra
Modern, clean-lined and well located near the harbour, Almyra is a strong choice for professionals who want design-led comfort and proximity to town. It works especially well for EU project teams, consultants and creatives who value efficiency alongside wellness.
The atmosphere is professional without being corporate, and the sea-facing spaces encourage reflection after busy days.
Where to eat: reliable choices for business lunches and dinners
Paphos dining favours quality over excess. These restaurants work consistently well for hosting, discussion and decompression.
Theos Restaurant
For seafood by the harbour, Theos remains a reference point. Fresh fish, straightforward execution and a relaxed pace make it ideal for lunches that extend naturally into the afternoon.
One essential detail: always ask for the homemade ice cream at the end. It is part of the experience and a small gesture that guests remember.
Honey Mod Med Restaurant
This is a destination in its own right. A top-class dining experience where technique, warmth and intention meet. The chef is family, and reservations are essential.
It is the kind of place you choose when the dinner matters – for closing conversations, celebrating milestones or hosting visitors you want to impress thoughtfully rather than loudly. I can assist with bookings.
Ethos Vin
A reliable choice for wine-focused dinners. Ethos Vin offers a well-curated list paired with dishes that support conversation rather than distract from it. Suitable for relaxed business evenings and smaller groups.
O Hondros Tavern
For traditional Cypriot food, O Hondros offers generous portions, honest flavours and a welcoming atmosphere. Ideal for introducing visitors to local cuisine in an unpretentious setting.
Where to drink: unwinding without excess
Evenings in Paphos are sociable rather than intense, with venues that encourage conversation.
Noir Bar
A comfortable stop for tapas and drinks. It works particularly well for early evening gatherings, informal meetings or relaxed decompression after a long day.
Kinky Bar
A livelier option when the group wants energy and atmosphere. Popular with both locals and visitors, it is well suited to late-night conversations and socialising.
Loft Club
When the evening naturally turns into a night out, Loft Club is the place for dancing. It attracts a mixed crowd and offers a straightforward, energetic end to the day.
In between: moments that reset the pace
Between meetings, these experiences offer grounding without demanding time.
Horse riding experience at George's Ranch
This experience, located just outside the city, is ideal for a free morning or the final day of a visit. Moving through open landscapes on horseback brings perspective and calm, offering a rare pause before returning to schedules and airports. It is restorative without being indulgent, and surprisingly effective at closing a work trip on a clear, positive note.
