4-Star Hotels in Droushia

Perched high in the Paphos forest, the village of Droushia offers a different, more tranquil side of Cyprus. The main draw here is the commanding view from the village square across the Akamas Peninsula and the Chrysochou Bay, a panorama best enjoyed with a strong Cypriot coffee in hand. This is a base for walkers exploring the Akamas trails, like the path to the Avakas Gorge, and for day trips to the Baths of Aphrodite. The pace is slow, defined by the scent of pine and the sound of goat bells rather than nightlife.

Droushia suits travelers seeking a peaceful, rural retreat, particularly couples and walkers who want an authentic village experience. It’s less ideal for families needing beach access or business travelers. Having your own car is essential, as public transport is limited; you’ll need it to reach the coast at Latsi or the town of Polis Chrysochous, each about a 20-minute drive away. Staying in the village center puts you steps from traditional tavernas and those incredible sunset views.

Accommodation here is mostly small, family-run hotels and traditional guesthouses. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the Droushia Heights Hotel, known for its cliff-edge pool, and the more intimate Apokryfo Traditional Guesthouse, set in restored stone buildings. These places reflect the area's character—simple, welcoming, and deeply connected to the landscape.
