Villa Katina | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Protaras
Holiday Home Rental Description
Protaras draws travellers for its crystalline Cypriot waters and golden beaches—and Villa Katina sits within walking distance of all of it. This contemporary four-bedroom residence accommodates eight guests across three bathrooms, positioned in the heart of this seaside resort where restaurants, bars, and the Mediterranean coastline exist mere minutes on foot.
Inside Villa Katina
Villa Katina sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The ground floor opens with an expansive open-plan living and dining arrangement, where natural light floods through terrace access overlooking the grounds. The adjoining kitchen comes fully equipped with professional-standard appliances—the kind of space where even reluctant cooks find themselves volunteering for dinner preparation. A cloakroom completes the ground level facilities.
Ascending to the first floor reveals the sleeping quarters. Two double bedrooms each feature en-suite shower rooms—private sanctuaries where you’ll wake to the faint sound of the Aegean beyond. The remaining two bedrooms contain twin beds, sharing access to a dedicated family bathroom. This layout suits multi-generational groups and families particularly well, allowing parents their own retreat while children occupy adjacent spaces.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The external grounds transform Villa Katina into a complete holiday ecosystem. The private swimming pool dominates the landscape—the focal point where children spend their mornings and adults drift through afternoon hours on sun loungers positioned strategically around its perimeter. The terrace extends dining beyond the kitchen walls, with a built-in barbecue and preparation worktop allowing you to cook and entertain simultaneously. Imagine grilled fish caught locally that morning, consumed as the Cyprus sun descends behind the hills.
Air conditioning throughout ensures comfort during July and August peaks, while Wi-Fi keeps you connected (or allows you to pretend you’re not). Parking accommodates vehicles directly at the property, eliminating the hunt for spaces in Protaras’s busier streets.
Location: Protaras and the Surrounding Area
Villa Katina occupies a strategic position within Protaras, one of Cyprus’s most accessible beach resorts. The town itself reveals itself through wandering—Venetian architectural echoes appear in pastel-painted buildings lining cobbled streets. This isn’t a developed mega-resort but rather a genuine seaside community where locals outnumber tourists in many establishments.
Fig Tree Bay lies 2km south, instantly recognisable by its solitary fig tree silhouetted against the horizon. The beach stretches generously, accommodating swimmers, sunbathers, and water sports enthusiasts simultaneously without feeling crowded. Crystal-clear waters reach 25 metres deep in places, ideal for snorkelling off the small island accessible to strong swimmers.
Cape Greco National Forest Park occupies 3.5km east of the villa. This protected nature reserve offers terrestrial trails through pine forests where Cyprus’s endemic flora flourish. Mountain biking routes wind through the park; horseback riding companies operate from nearby stables. Underwater, the same terrain continues—dramatic rock formations, caves, and kelp forests create compelling dive and snorkel sites suitable for both certified divers and confident swimmers attempting their first underwater exploration.
Ayia Napa, 15km west, functions as the region’s cultural and entertainment hub. The Ayia Napa Monastery dominates the central square—a restored Venetian-era structure surrounded by tavernas serving traditional meze. By night, the town transforms into Cyprus’s premier nightlife destination, though this character appeals primarily to those seeking late clubs rather than quieter evenings. The Water Park Ayia Napa offers slides, pools, and activity stations; families with children typically spend a full day here.
Supermarkets are within 500 metres walking distance. Local tavernas serving fresh Mediterranean cuisine exist on nearly every corner—some focusing on grilled octopus and fish, others on traditional Cyprus meze platters. The daily market, operating mornings throughout the week, stocks seasonal produce, local cheeses, and herbs gathered from surrounding hillsides.
Larnaca International Airport lies 45km northwest—approximately 50 minutes by car via the A3 motorway. The drive follows the coast initially, revealing the scope of Cyprus’s eastern geography before turning inland.
Seasonal considerations matter. May through September sees Mediterranean water temperatures climb above 24°C—genuinely warm enough for extended swimming. June and September offer ideal conditions: warm water, long daylight hours, fewer tourists than July and August. The winter months (November through February) bring occasional rain but milder temperatures than northern Europe. Spring (March and April) witnesses wildflower blooms across the Cape Greco landscape.

Who This Villa Suits Best
Extended families with multiple generations benefit from Villa Katina’s twin-bedroom layout—teenagers can inhabit one twin room, younger children another, parents claim the double bedrooms. Groups of friends splitting accommodation costs across the capacity find the common areas sufficient for communal cooking and evening gatherings.
Families with infants and toddlers appreciate the ground-floor living arrangement (no stairs to navigate with pushchairs), private pool (supervising children without public beach chaos), and proximity to family-oriented facilities. The relatively quiet location avoids the nightlife districts while remaining close enough to restaurants and shops.
Couples travelling together with another couple occupy the property comfortably—each couple claims a double bedroom while maintaining privacy through en-suite facilities.
