This is the only area where white colour is used and decorative features include ornate ceilings, arcaded walls, white marble flooring and oriental chandeliers. Guests can enjoy coffee brewed in the traditional way and taste Cypriot delicacies or even with the aromatic flavours of the narghilet tobacco over a game of Backgammon. Traditional divans covered in oriental rugs and hanging wall mosaics add to the character whilst a series of illuminated alcoves within the arches enhances the relaxed atmosphere.

Cafe Occidental: Located in the heart of the resort, the Cafe Occidental enjoys dramatic views of the sea and sunset to the west and of the vast atrium with its floor mosaics, urns, buttresses and massive timber roof  to the east.
