About Paphos

Cyprus is an island where ancient legends, beautiful beaches and exciting adventures come together under the Mediterranean sun. The third-largest island in the Mediterranean offers a wonderful mix of culture, history, nature and family-friendly activities, making it an ideal destination for single parents looking to combine relaxation with memorable experiences for their children.

Step back in time on the “Island of the Gods”

Did you know that Cyprus is closely associated with Aphrodite, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty? According to Greek mythology, she emerged from the sea foam near the spectacular coastal landmark known as Aphrodite’s Rock. Today, this dramatic stretch of coastline is one of the island’s most famous sights. The island’s fascinating history stretches back thousands of years, with influences from ancient Greece, Rome, Byzantium and many other civilisations. For families travelling with curious children, exploring Cyprus can be like stepping into an open-air history book, bringing ancient myths and legends to life. Our holiday destination Paphos, is particularly rich in archaeological treasures. Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the town is home to the remarkable mosaics of Nea Paphos, where colourful scenes from Greek mythology decorate the floors of ancient Roman villas.

Beautiful beaches

Of course, a family holiday in Cyprus would not be complete without enjoying its wonderful coastline. The region around Paphos offers a variety of beaches, from lively sandy stretches with facilities to quieter coves perfect for relaxing by the sea. The Mediterranean’s clear waters invite to swim, snorkel and discover marine life. For all families who enjoy nature, the famous Blue Lagoon near the Akamas Peninsula is known for its strikingly clear, blue-green water.

Holiday Reviews

Below is a selection of holiday reviews from our single parent group holidays at the Athena Beach Hotel over the years:

"Rory and I both love the SPOH formula and I have nothing but the highest of praise for the holidays they offer. We can't wait for our next SPOH trip! "
- Alison & Rory (14) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2024
"We had a fantastic time in Paphos. My 9-year-old daughter said she wanted to live there! It was lovely to be able to relax with the other parents while she ran off with her new friends. And our host Jane was wonderful! So welcoming, ever-helpful and brilliant fun."
- Amanda & Eva (9) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2023
"Another great holiday with SPOH. The hotel location right on the beach was brilliant. "
- Claire & Noah (16) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2023
"Zac and I have thoroughly enjoyed our 2 weeks in Paphos and will certainly be booking a holiday for 2024. We have made some great new friends for life who just 'get' what it is like to be a single parent. Thank you to our amazing host Jane and everyone at SPOH for making our first holiday so welcoming and memorable. We look forward to many more."
- Anne-Marie & Zac (9) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2023
"This was our first Single Parent on Holiday experience and I can honestly say my expectations were totally exceeded. It was amazing to spend quality time with my family but also a privilege to meet a like minded group of people who were interesting, friendly and fun. My children formed a real bond with many of the other children which made life very easy and it was great to have adult company. The friendships formed for all of us will last long after the holiday. Our host was superb and made sure that we all had a relaxing and stress fee time from beginning to end. "
- Richard, Sophie (11) & Lucas (7) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2023
"A 10 to 15 minute private transfer from Paphos airport to the Athena Beach Hotel. Greeted by our wonderful rep Jane at this stunning hotel. Our room was large with air con, everything you want a mini bar, hairdryer, tv, iron, super comfy bed.
The hotel was full but there were never queues for drinks/food and we always got a sun lounger (you have to be early for one around the pool). The hotel grounds merge onto the beach, the sea is clear however the sea bed is undulating rocks but it didn't stop us snorkelling and swimming.
Food is in abundance and very nice too, waiter service was faultless both in restaurants and around the hotel grounds.
Jane organised several trips including aquapark, sunset cruise and a little shopping in the old town of Paphos and its harbour.
My son and I made amazing friendships and spent the days and nights with new friends, mums and dads all looked out for each other's children, whatsapp came in handy with meet ups and times of what's going on, such as cocktails on the terrace. My only downside a little was that the evening entertainment was nice but repetitive. There is still plenty of places to go outside hotel if you wish.
SPOH was amazing, you have the comfort of someone to help you if needed. Jane was fantastic on our trip."
- Fiona & Daniel (11) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2023
"A fantastic first holiday with SPOH. My girls and I met lots of new friends and my girls spent most of the week busy in or by the pool. The food for varied and the hotel excellent. Would definitely use this company again."
- Julia, Yasmin (10) & Martha (7) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2022
"Great holiday, brilliant location, high quality facilities! We loved the pool, the sea and the delicious fresh food. It was great to meet like-minded people and for the children to mix and make friends. Would definitely go again! "
- Louise & William (9) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2022
"Incredible first SPOH holiday - I was nervous going abroad with the children alone but this made it so much easier and friendlier. All the parents looked out for each others' children around the pools and at mealtimes and the children made friends quickly."
- Nicola, Hannah (15) & Stephen (12) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2022
"What an amazing holiday! This is the first time that I've ever been on a single parents holiday, and it's the most relaxing and enjoyable holiday experience I've had for many years! Sandra was amazing throughout, as was her daughter, Naomi. My daughter made friends with the other children really quickly, and I barely saw her after that for a couple of days.
The hotel, food, location and facilities were really well chosen and we felt relaxed almost instantly. The group were all great company, and the atmosphere was fab throughout."
- Julian & Lucy (11) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2019
"Cyprus was our third SPOH holiday. I wanted rest and relaxation and good adult company. Eva wanted to play all day around a swimming pool. We both got exactly what we wanted and had a fabulous holiday. Added bonus was the all inclusive package and excellent buffets. I just didn't want it to end. Till next year."
- Jackie & Eva (10) - single parent beach holiday, Cyprus, August 2019
"Very relaxing holiday in a well equipped hotel. Lovely pool. Sandra and Naomi always very helpful and so friendly. "
- Lisa, Millie (16) & Alfie (11)
"This is the ideal company if you want to holiday with your child but at the same time enjoy the company of other adults and children. We made lots of new friends, had great fun and adventure, lots of lasting memories made, and we can't wait for next year. "
- Dianne & Alexander (12) - single parent beach holiday in Cyprus, August 2019
