Villa Aglaia | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Protaras

Imagine waking to the sound of the Aegean Sea from your balcony in central Protaras, where a luxury villa rental awaits within steps of Cyprus’s most coveted beaches. Villa Aglaia sits in an exclusive development that puts you at the heart of the action—yet shields you behind a private sanctuary with your own pool, covered dining terraces, and manicured gardens. This is where serious relaxation meets genuine convenience.

Inside Villa Aglaia

Villa Aglaia sleeps 8 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, spread across two thoughtfully designed floors. The ground level opens with a light-flooded living space where bi-fold doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and the pool terrace beyond. The kitchen sits at the heart of this living zone—the kind of space where breakfast naturally extends into lunch because the light is too good to leave. A breakfast bar, full appliance suite including a Nespresso machine, microwave, toaster, and washing machine keeps the practical side covered. The dining table anchors the room, while a minimalist lounge furnishes the rest of the open plan with contemporary ease. A ground-floor shower room with WC provides immediate convenience for pool guests.

Climb to the first floor and the layout maximises rest. The master double bedroom commands an ensuite shower room with WC, plus a private balcony where morning coffee tastes better. Two additional bedrooms—a second double and a twin—each access their own balconies, ensuring every sleeper gets fresh air and privacy. These three bedrooms share a well-appointed family bathroom fitted with shower and WC. Built-in wardrobes throughout eliminate suitcase sprawl. All bedrooms benefit from air conditioning.

Entertainment runs through the villa: IPTV in the living spaces, a Wii console for rainy-day fun, and an iron and board for those who pack wrinkle-prone linens. Wi-Fi keeps you connected if you need it; the pool and sea keep you occupied if you don’t.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The real heart of Villa Aglaia lives outside. The private swimming pool measures 3.35m by 8m with depths ranging from 0.90m to 1.50m—safe for mixed ages, accessible by ladder—and sits ringed by artificial turf, premium sun loungers, and a covered lounge pavilion ideal for afternoon shade and evening drinks. The sunset here is worth planning your day around.

Two separate outdoor dining and lounging zones multiply your options. One features a full barbecue station with work surface, sink, and outdoor shower—the kind of setup that transforms dinner into theatre. Adjacent artificial turf and sun beds create a dedicated relaxation gallery. The landscaped garden uses modern plantings to frame views and create natural sightlines without cluttering the space. The terrace catches south-facing light from mid-morning through golden hour, with the sea’s reflection dancing across the water features.

Location: Protaras and the Surrounding Area

Villa Aglaia sits in central Protaras, a coastal town on Cyprus’s eastern seaboard known for crystalline waters and year-round sunshine. From your door, The Strip—Protaras’s main thoroughfare—lies within walking distance, lined with restaurants, bars, and shops reflecting everything from traditional meze tavernas to upscale gourmet venues. You’re roughly 600m from Yianna Marie Beach, a pocket-sized cove with stunning sea views and a beachside restaurant that serves lunch with a side of unforgettable vistas.

The legendary Fig Tree Bay sits within a 10-minute walk. Its singular fig tree, weathered and iconic, anchors a beach that ranks among Cyprus’s finest. The sand shelves gently, and the infrastructure is immaculate: sun loungers, beach umbrellas, a full menu of watersports from jet skis to paddleboards, plus beachfront bars and restaurants serving everything from cold drinks to full meals. This is where both families and couples spend entire days without checking their watches.

Beyond the main beaches, nature trails radiate inland to quieter coves: Konnos Beach (3km northeast) offers dramatic cliff formations and turquoise shallows, Lombardi Beach (7km south) attracts swimmers seeking solitude, and Louma Beach (5km west) rewards walkers with pine-backed sands and cave formations. The area excels for hiking and cycling—marked trails wind through coastal scrubland and into the interior.

Venture inland and Cyprus reveals layers. The Troodos Mountains, roughly 50km southwest, rise to Mount Olympus (1,952m) and shelter charming villages like Fikardou and Machairas, where time moves differently and the views stretch across vineyard-draped foothills. These same slopes host winter sports facilities including ski lifts and designated runs at Sun Valley and North Face—a surprising detail for a Mediterranean island. Winery tours operate throughout the region; the south-facing terraces produce exceptional Cypriot wines. Medieval churches with painted interiors and working monasteries pepper the landscape, accessible as day trips from your villa.

Protaras itself sits 45km from Larnaca International Airport (approximately 45 minutes by car), with shuttle transfers available. The nearest supermarket sits within the town centre, a 5-minute walk. Restaurants and cafés dot every corner—expect everything from fresh grilled fish and traditional kleftiko to modern Mediterranean fusion and international cuisine. The summer season (June through September) brings peak heat and beach crowds but also the liveliest social calendar. May and October offer ideal conditions: warm sea, sunny days, fewer tourists. Winter (November through February) sees temperatures drop to 15–18°C with occasional rain, but the landscape erupts in wildflowers and the hiking season peaks.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Aglaia works exceptionally well for families with children aged 5 and up. The private pool removes beach-dependency, the bedrooms’ separation prevents early-morning wake-ups, and the ground-floor shower room keeps nighttime bathroom runs quick. Fig Tree Bay’s gentle waters and watersports operators cater to families; high chairs are available on request through Excellence Luxury Villas.

Groups of friends (8 maximum) appreciate the shared living and separate sleeping zones. Couples travelling with another couple, or siblings holidaying together, find the layout balances togetherness with privacy. Multi-generational groups benefit from the master ensuite and family bathroom setup. The villa’s walkable location means no car rental is necessary for daily enjoyment, though one is useful for exploring inland villages and wineries.
