LOOKING for the perfect destination for your next family holiday by the beach?
Cyprus offers beautiful golden beaches, blue waters, more than 330 days of sunshine a year and incredible waterparks.
We scoured the internet to find the best deals on family holidays to Cyprus next summer, with prices starting from £85pp a night.
The best offers come from holiday giants of the likes of Jet2holidays, TUI, On the Beach and Love Holidays.
Some of the deals even include child-free places, but those are likely to sell out soon, so you’ll have to be quick to bag one.
While some resorts will give you full access to neighbouring water parks, others feature on-site water parks or splash parks.
No matter which resort you choose, you’ll find lazy rivers, lagoons, and waterslides for both adults and children.
The biggest bargain we’ve found comes from Jet2holidays, with seven nights at Mayfair Hotel Paphos costing from £1,799 for a family of three, including one free child place.
The deal works out at £85pp a night, departing on August 30, 2023.
The hotel features four outdoor pools, including two children’s pools of freshwater and a splash park, where you’ll find tipping water buckets, water guns, jets and sprinklers.
There’s also a children’s club with arts and crafts, team games, sports and mini-discos.
If you’re after a resort with a big on-site waterpark, the Leonardo Laura Beach & Splash Resort might be the one for you.
The Tornado Bowl and the Crusador are two slides that are worth getting excited about.
Not to mention the fast Kamikaze Free Fall, the Multilane Mat Racer, and the Float Side.
It’s worth noting that most of the slides have height and age restrictions, so keep that in mind if you’re travelling with younger children.
That being said, there are still places for little ones – as you’ll find an activity pool for children under 12, and kids from 2 to 6 years old can make a splash in the toddlers’ pool.
Seven nights at Leonardo Laura Beach & Splash Resort cost from £2,245 for a family of four (with one free child place) when departing on August 31.
