What to Pack for a Villa Holiday in Cyprus

Packing for a villa holiday in Cyprus isn't just about sun cream and swimwear. Whether you're heading to Protaras, Ayia Napa, or one of the quieter coastal areas, knowing what to bring — and what's already waiting for you — makes all the difference between a relaxed arrival and a last-minute scramble.

What Your Villa Will Already Have

Most modern villas in Cyprus come well-equipped with essentials. You'll typically find towels (both bath and beach), bed linens, kitchen basics like pots, pans, cutlery, and appliances such as a fridge, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. Many also include a washing machine, iron, and hairdryer.

LA MER Homes villas go the extra mile with thoughtful touches — welcome packs, toiletries, and detailed arrival guides so you know exactly what to expect before you even arrive.

What to Pack: The Essentials

Sun Protection

The Cypriot sun is strong year-round. Bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, UV-blocking sunglasses, and a lightweight cover-up for poolside lounging.

Clothing for Every Occasion

Pack breathable cottons and linens for daytime, a light sweater or cardigan for evening breezes, and comfortable walking shoes for exploring villages and beaches. Add smart-casual attire if you plan to dine at upscale restaurants.

Adapters and Chargers

Cyprus uses the UK-style Type G plug (three rectangular pins). Bring a universal adapter and all your device chargers.

Medications and Personal Items

Stock up on any prescription medications you need, plus over-the-counter basics like pain relievers, antihistamines, and plasters. Pharmacies in Cyprus are excellent, but it's reassuring to have your own supplies.

What Not to Overpack

Skip heavy beach towels (your villa will have them), bulky beach toys (buy them locally for a fraction of the weight), and too many books (download e-books instead). Leave space in your suitcase for souvenirs and local treasures.

Final Checklist

• Travel documents (passport, booking confirmations, travel insurance)

Packing smart means you arrive ready to enjoy your villa from day one — no stress, no rushing to the shops, just pure holiday mode. And if you do forget something? The local shops in Protaras and Ayia Napa have you covered.
