Limassol Hotels with Rooftop Pools Near the Sea
The four hotels on this Limassol page are tagged for infinity pools, but I want to be precise: their own listings describe rooftop swimming pools, not infinity-edge ones. All four belong to the same Alinea family of aparthotels in the city centre, Alinea Diono Historic Center, Alinea Primo Historic Center, Alinea Suites Limassol Center and Alinea Market Agora Square, and they share a formula of kitchenettes, a rooftop pool and a short walk to Limassol Marina Beach, the marina and the medieval Castle of Limassol. If a true infinity pool over the Mediterranean is what you are after, two beachfront properties elsewhere on this site, Amathus Residences and ICON - Private Holiday Apartments, list one.
Central Limassol packs its medieval castle, the Old Town lanes, the restored marina and the long Molos seafront promenade into a compact area along the south coast of Cyprus. That is why rooftop pools make sense here: in a dense centre with little space at street level, the roof is where hotels put the water, and the public beach is a walk away rather than at the door.
Where to stay
Four Rooftops, Four Different Extras
A rooftop pool in central Limassol is a different proposition from a beachfront infinity pool: you swim above the Old Town rather than over the sea, then walk to the beach. That trade suits travelers who want the castle, the restaurants and the Molos promenade on foot, plus self-catering space, rather than a resort on the shore. All four Alinea addresses score between 9.1 and 9.2, so the choice comes down to extras such as a sauna, a pool bar or a garden.
Alinea Suites Limassol Center has the longest review record of the four, with a 9.2 score from 628 reviews, and the most social rooftop, since its pool comes with a terrace and a pool bar. The suites are set up aparthotel-style with kitchenettes, balconies and private bathrooms, and there is a fitness center on site. Limassol Marina Beach is an 18-minute walk away, the only distance the four listings give precisely, so plan on a short stroll rather than stepping out onto the sand. For travelers who value a proven track record and an evening drink by the water above the city, this is where I would book.
Alinea Primo Historic Center is the one to choose if you want a wellness corner alongside the pool: besides the rooftop swimming pool and terrace, it lists a fitness center and a sauna. Its family rooms come with air-conditioning, kitchenettes, balconies and private bathrooms, which makes it the most practical of the four for parents traveling with children. It sits a short walk from Limassol Marina Beach and the Castle of Limassol, and its 9.2 score rests on 495 reviews, the second-largest record here. In a historic centre where most streets are narrow and lively, having a sauna to end the day is a genuine extra.
Alinea Diono Historic Center sits in Limassol's historic center and adds something the others do not mention: a lush garden next to its rooftop pool and sun terrace. The accommodation is air-conditioned, with fully equipped kitchenettes and free WiFi, and the listing places it a short walk from Limassol Marina Beach and the marina itself, which makes it a convenient base for evenings along the Molos promenade and the waterfront restaurants. Its 9.2 score comes from 262 reviews. I would pick it over its sister properties if a quiet green corner matters more to you than a pool bar or a gym.
Alinea Market Agora Square completes the group with a rooftop swimming pool, a sun terrace and air-conditioned rooms with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, some of them with city views. Like Alinea Primo Historic Center, it is described as near Limassol Marina Beach and the Castle of Limassol, which puts the Old Town lanes, the castle and the seafront within easy reach on foot. It has the smallest review base of the four, 189 reviews, and a 9.1 score, a hair below the others. It also carries a water-sports tag on this site, but its description does not detail any on-site activity, so treat it as a simple, well-rated city base.
I would choose Alinea Suites Limassol Center for a Limassol stay built around a rooftop pool, because its 9.2 score rests on 628 reviews and it is the only one of these four aparthotels with a pool bar beside the pool. If a sauna after a day in the Old Town matters more to you, Alinea Primo Historic Center, with its fitness center, sauna and family rooms, is my alternative, a short walk from the Castle of Limassol.
