Virgin Holidays View
The family friendly Constance Ephelia offers state-of-the-art facilities in a location that will quite simply take your breath away. Set within almost 300 acres of tropical landscape, the resort overlooks two of the island’s best beaches with soft, white sand to run your fingers through and warm, clear waters gently lapping at the shore. If that’s not enough to tempt you, there’s also an extensive spa with a whole range of Shiseido treatments, guaranteed to leave you feeling on top of the world. If spa treatments are the central focus of your holiday, why not choose a Spa Villa where the bathroom doubles as your own private treatment room?
There are also incredibly spacious Family Villas sleeping up to 6 and Hillside Villas, constructed and adapted to the granite rocks. When it comes to dining, you’re spoilt for choice with 5 superb restaurants including Cyann, combining French culinary techniques with the lightness and flavour of Asian cuisine. Corossol is the main restaurant with sumptuous buffet dishes whilst Helios, on the south beach, offers tapas, mezze and antipasti delights. Each restaurant has a bar with a creative range of cocktails and live music come sundown. The main bar is the liveliest whilst Cyann is the most elegant with an outdoor deck on which to marvel at the sunsets. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy a whole range of non-motorised water sports, plus there’s a tennis and squash court for dry land pursuits. Whilst parents enjoy a well-deserved break, the kids will play happily with new-found friends at the mini club, open all day, every day with indoor and outdoor activities on offer.
