In the spring of 2009 Ayii Anargyri Natural Healing Spa opened its doors to present the world with a sublime experience. Set in a valley of mature trees, the resort offers a unique retreat, a place of profound calm and the opportunity to enjoy the health-giving waters which have benefited visitors for so many years.
The spa hotel has been extended, renovated and refurbished in natural stone and timber in traditional Cypriot architectural style. Cuisine from locally grown produce will reveal all that is best in traditional Cypriot fare – food that is garden fresh, nutritious, flavoursome.
The hotel provides the means to benefit from the time-tested remedies of the mineral rich waters which flow here – but there is so much more. An abundance of scenic attractions will delight any nature lover. Also outdoor pursuits like cycling, walking and bird watching are just a few other possibilities to make your stay a tonic for body and mind.
The spa was first formally opened in 1649 by two brothers, Cosmas and Damianos. Their generosity in offering treatment often without thought of reward gave rise to the name Anargyri – without silver. They became known and loved locally for their selfless acts and affectionately known as saints.
In the 19th century the waters were properly analysed and did indeed contain health-giving minerals. Practical experience proves the waters are helpful in treating rheumatic diseases, and chronic inflammations. There is a positive effect in case of cardiovascular diseases too since sulphur expands the coronary arteries, and improves the blood supply to the heart.
Today the new luxury spa offers therapies which will benefit body and soul.
