About Amara

Michelin-starred superchef Nobu Matsuhisa brings his trademark Japanese-Peruvian fusion cuisine to Cyprus with the intimate Matsuhisa Limassol restaurant, while fellow Michelin maestro Giorgio Locatelli lends his credentials to Ristorante Locatelli, an Italian affair offering woodfired pizzas, homemade pastas and more in an al fresco setting. Armyra by Papaioannou is an open-air tavern serving scintillating fish dishes by the seafront. There is also a breakfast room with both indoor and outdoor seating. There are several bars, including the beautiful Rooftop Bar for sundowners and chilled tunes, the Lobby Bar for coffee and pastries, and a juice bar at the Spa that serves healthy snacks throughout the day.

Dramatically set below the ancient amphitheatre, overlooking the medieval rooftops of Taormina, the location of the Timeo is just sublime. It's the perfect place to sip a Bellini and gaze across the volcanic coastline of Sicily at the hazy outline of Mount Etna on the horizon. One of the most scenically situated hotels in the Mediterranean, combining old world charm with hearty Sicilian hospitality, a perfect base from which to explore this extraordinary island.
