Food & Beverages

Dinning is a key element of the Elysium experience. A choice of four restaurants offers guests from appetizing healthy options to exquisite gourmet menus using locally grown fresh ingredients.

Cafe Oriental: This Cafe is situated in a secluded spot off the main cloister and embodies the simplicity and luxury of the Byzantine period. This is the only area where white colour is used and decorative features include ornate ceilings, arcaded walls, white marble flooring and oriental chandeliers. Guests can enjoy coffee brewed in the traditional way and taste Cypriot delicacies or even with the aromatic flavours of the narghilet tobacco over a game of Backgammon. Traditional divans covered in oriental rugs and hanging wall mosaics add to the character whilst a series of illuminated alcoves within the arches enhances the relaxed atmosphere.

Cafe Occidental: Located in the heart of the resort, the Cafe Occidental enjoys dramatic views of the sea and sunset to the west and of the vast atrium with its floor mosaics, urns, buttresses and massive timber roof  to the east. The focal point is the medieval fireplace made of antique stone. Heavy curtains and the dark timber floor is complement by antique leather seats.

Mare Nostrum Pool Bar: Sunken below ground level and at the same height as the pool water, La Loggia is surrounded by rustic stone planters, which form a piazza protected by timber pergolas.  Set adjacent to the pool, it combines a nautical experience reminiscent of a seaside fishing village built on the edge of the sea – a truly Mediterranean experience.
