If you're looking for that perfect, picture-postcard beach in Cyprus, Fig Tree Bay more than delivers with its highly "Instagrammable" and divine aesthetics.
With its name is taken from the Fig Trees located along the coast, Fig Tree Bay is regularly voted as one of the best beaches in the world. It has earned such accolades as the third best beach in Europe by TripAdvisor and in 2019, was declared the third best beach in the world by Big 7 Travel.
All this high praise is rightly deserved, with its immaculately clear waters for as far as the eye can see (Cyprus was recently recognised as having the best quality bathing waters in the EU) and its beautiful, white powdery sand beach. You can at times feel like you have stepped into some otherworldly place.
During the low season, Fig Tree Bay transforms into a wild, ethereal paradise perfect for exploring the various nooks and unspoiled beauty of the area. The beach itself runs the length of its own cove and there is an uninhabited islet easily reached by swimming through the shallow waters.
If however, you are visiting during the high season (April to October) you will find a thriving beach heaving with tanned holidaymakers making the most of the various activities on offer.
So, if you desire a stress-relieving massage you can do this within one of the open-air spa huts dotted along the beach alternatively for those looking for more adrenaline-inducing activities, there is a watersports centre that can more than fulfill all your aquatic needs.
For those looking to find some refreshment after a long day at the beach, you will be pleased to find an excellent selection of bars and restaurants lining the promenade providing everything from your regular beach food and snacks to exquisite fine-dining options.
All in all, whatever you desire, Fig Tree Bay will deliver and more.
