The beautiful island of Cyprus is the holiday destination of choice for a number of celebrities including Peter Andre. And it’s no small wonder why he bought a villa in Cyprus where he can holiday with his family in an idyllic location.
Celebrities who Holiday in Cyprus
Cyprus is one of the largest islands in the Mediterranean, and is also one of the most popular tourist destinations. With its beautiful white beaches and crystal clear warm Mediterranean waters, a holiday to this island will be time spent in a tropical paradise. Celebrities have cottoned on to the fact that Cyprus is a prime location for a holiday, and are increasingly purchasing Cyprus luxury villas.
Peter Andre, a UK pop star, singer and television personality, is one of the many celebrities to own a Cyprus holiday villa. Whenever he gets the chance, he goes to his luxury Cyprus villa to spend some quality time with his family. With two small children, Princess Tiaami and Junior Sawa, beachside holidays are the perfect choice for him and his family. And with the rocky patch in his marriage to Katie Price, his luxury Cyprus villa may serve as a place of quiet refuge.
Another celebrity who is a fan of Cyprus is British billionaire, Phillip Green, who celebrated his 50th birthday bash along with Tom Jones, George Benson and Rod Stewart at a top Cyprus hotel. Although Phillip Green does not own a luxury Cyprus villa, the island is one of his favourite holiday destinations, fit for his bi centennial birthday celebrations.
Why Celebrities Choose Cyprus
Being such a beautiful island, it’s no small wonder that celebrities choose to holiday there, and many choose to own Cyprus holiday villas, permanently at their disposal when they want an island holiday. It’s not just celebrities who holiday on the island, and with a range of superb beaches to choose from, the island offers something for everyone. The western peninsula hosts quiet and secluded coves for those who want to get away from the crowds. A beautiful, secluded beach is that of Kapparis, where golden sands and shallow waters beckon those wanting a quiet day on a beach typically frequented by locals.
Phinikoudes is a stereotypical Mediterranean island beach, where palm trees, beachside bars and restaurants abound. Many Cyprus holiday villas are situated a short walk from this idyllic beach, and you can make the most of your location when on a Cyprus villa holiday as you take the short stroll to the beach each day. The beach typically enjoys calm ocean waters, making for hours of total relaxation in the clear waters.
Other beautiful beaches on the island are Perra A Beach and Pachyammos Beach, where soft sand and clear waters afford beautiful views and spots for swimming and tanning while on Cyprus villa holidays.
Sightseeing in Cyprus
Cyprus is not only as pretty as a picture, but it is an island rich in culture too. When staying at a villa in Cyprus a number of sites are well worth visiting. Maa Palaiokastro Settlement is interesting to visit, and makes for an interesting day out when on holiday on the western part of the island.
Choirokoitia is a fascinating prehistoric settlement to visit, where a series of reconstructed dwellings will transport you back in time, through the history of the island.
