Denizkizi Royal Hotel

Set above a picturesque sandy bay with expansive views of the mountains and ocean, the Denizkizi Royal Hotel offers a superior service.

The hotel is perfectly situated for a relaxed beach holiday; boasting panoramic views of the ocean, a peaceful location with lush mature gardens and stretching golden sands. For those seeking a more active break there are watersports available from the beach; in addition to this the hotel boasts a large freshwater swimming pool overlooking the sea. If the steep walk up from the beach proves too much after a day soaking up the sun there is a convenient golf buggy available to return you to the hotel.

The hotel has both indoor and outdoor dining - being owned by well-known local restaurateurs, the food is prepared to extremely high standards. A complimentary shuttle service is also included to the owner’s restaurant in Kyrenia city centre.

Cyprus Paradise Experts Recommend

During the summer months we highly recommend you try the hotel’s speciality cooked on Sundays -  Lamb in the Well, which is cooked underground with fragrant herbs and topped with succulent, golden crispy skin. People come from far and wide to try this traditional slow cooked lamb dish also known as “Thieves Kebab”. Not only will you enjoy this mouth-watering delicacy, but you will be entertained by the brief history of this Cypriot dish, which came about when thieves would steal meat from neighbouring farms and cook the meat underground, so not have their stolen goods spotted! A distinct and memorable dining experience!

If you fancy some local sight -seeing, the local buses run regularly from the main road, just a few minutes’ walk away. Look out for St. Fanourios Church overlooking the sea, in the village of Karaoglanoglu. On the way to Kyrenia, take the road towards The Mountain View Hotel, after the hotel, pass a football ground and the church is in front of you. It’s small and well preserved. Dedicated to St. George, unlike most of the Orthodox churches in North Cyprus, this is an active place of worship, and it’s common to see a candle burning on the small alter.

Evening entertainment can also be enjoyed close by, with only around a 6 minute drive to the vibrant The Lapta Strip, where The Fly Inn & The Lodge are popular for their live music and karaoke events.  With a free taxi ride to the hotel’s restaurant in Kyrenia Harbour (Niazi’s), it’s an idea to combine a quality dining experience with a night visiting the lively bars in Kyrenia to follow!
