Gillham Vineyard Hotel | Small and Boutique Hotels in Kyrenia Girne

Gillham Vineyard Hotel in Northern Cyprus is an oenophile’s dream: it’s surrounded by carefully cultivated vines. The hillside hotel, 15 minutes from the Mediterranean, is also home to a glittering pool and holistic spa, as well as the estate’s own wine centre for vineyard tours and guided tastings. Wobble your way back to the restaurant for leisurely dinners of Israeli-influenced Cypriot fare with a view of the rolling vineyards, and congratulate yourself on the completion of another perf

ect day.

At the hotel: Free WiFi, spa with treatment rooms, hammam, and fitness rooms. In rooms: TV, minibar, tea-making kit, Segafredo coffee machine, free bottled water, bathrobes and Gillham Vineyard bath products.

Our favourite rooms Each Rosé Suite has a little private terrace with uninterrupted views of the vineyards. But splash out on a Sparkling Suite to for a choice of two private hot tubs: an alfresco number on the terrace and a sunken tub in the ensuite bathroom.

Poolside The large, outdoor pool is unheated and framed by a sunlounger-lined terrace and shade-providing trees. There’s also a heated freshwater pool in the spa.

Spa Open from August 2018, Gillham's Wine Spa is at the edge of the vineyards and offers a range of grape-infused holistic treatments. Book a classic massage in one of the three treatments rooms, sip on a freshly pressed juice from the bar and take a soak in the vino-therapy wine bath, which looks out over the estate.

Packing tips Bring your swimsuits, and sensible shoes fit for tromping around the vine-crossed grounds. (Pack your riding boots if you’re a horsey type, too.)

Also Although the common areas are all on the ground floor, the hotel does not have accessible guest rooms.

Children Leave the littles at home: this wine-soaked stay is for adults only.
