Overview

Out in the far eastern Mediterranean is the spectacularly beautiful island of Cyprus. The island’s history is one of the oldest recorded in the world, dating right back to 7000BC, so Cyprus is steeped in history and mythology. It is also an island of great scenic beauty, with long sandy beaches on the east coast and rocky coves in the west, and traditional villages in the foothills, often set in citrus and olive groves or forests of pine and cedar.

And Cyprus has vibrant, exciting, cosmopolitan resorts. Often described as the jewel of the eastern Mediterranean, Protoras is an elite beach resort on the south-east coast. Here too, you will find the magnificent Fig Tree Bay, considered to be one of the island’s best beaches. Once the island’s administrative capital, Larnaca still retains its elegant, colonial style charm. A resplendent mile long, palm-lined promenade dominates the bustling town, stretching from a luxury yacht marina at one end to an ancient medieval fortress at the other.

What’s more, Headlands work with all the top developers to offer you a selection of impressive new build properties right across the south of the island.
