On Pissouri Bay, Columbia Beach Resort is arranged as a low Cypriot village of stone, arches, terracotta roofs and gardens leading to the beach. Suites use traditional materials, timber furniture and terraces or balconies, many facing the pool, gardens or sea. The long lagoon pool forms the centre of the resort, supported by restaurants, bars, a spa and beach facilities. Courtyards, shaded walkways and planted squares link the buildings, giving the property a strong sense of place between the Troodos foothills and the Mediterranean.
