Villa Karibu
About the home
Villa Karibu is a stylishly designed 3-bedroom villa tucked away in the quiet Blue River development. Very close to the Blue Spice Restaurant and Anastasia Hotel. Ideal for families as it is within walking distance of Pernera's bars, restaurants, supermarkets and family friendly amenities (including Pernera's own waterpark).
Villa Karibu is a stone's throw from the local beach. This makes it so much easier with the children as they don't have to walk very far at all. It's also just around the corner from the new Blue Spice Restaurant and Pottery where mum and dad can sit and have a quiet coffee (or beer/wine) whilst the children paint a mug or plate or souvenir of their holiday or play in the pool. Blue Spice is very popular with people staying at Villa Karibu.
We have spent a great deal of time making sure you have everything you need in the villa for an enjoyable stay - so you don't have to bring towels and toys for the kids for the pool/beach - we have all of that in the villa for you to use (see photos). Our family use the villa often and so have made sure that there is everything you need for a great holiday. The kitchen is particularly well equipped and includes plastic cutlery/plates etc for the kids and plenty of essential items if you want to stay in and cook.

Photos
The Famagusta region


Protaras is a lively up and coming resort with something for every age group. The Villa is actually located in Pernera which is a resort in its own right with an abundance of bars, restaurants and shops. There are plenty of coves with beautiful sandy beaches and watersport centres where every watersport is catered for. There is also a water park a short walk from the villa. To walk to the centre of Protaras will take you approximately 20 minutes and here again you will find plenty of bars, restaurants, karaoke bars, night club and a bowling alley.
Travelling further afield a 15 minute drive away will take you to Ayia Napa and its abundance of night clubs. For those golf enthusiasts a 2 hour drive will take you to the courses of Secret Valley and Aphrodite Hills. Nicosia, the largest major town, is an hours drive away and well worth a visit.
The Resort of Larnaca is a 45 minute drive away with its beautiful promenade, and local market every Wednesday and Sunday. The Troodos Mountains are approximately a 2 hour drive away but where else could you ski in the mountains in the morning and sunbathe on a beautiful sandy beach in the afternoon. Cyprus, as you can see, has many attractions and plenty of things to see. This resort is well worth a visit.
The Protaras / Pernera area
From the villa there are plenty of smaller towns all running into one another, from Protaras to Pernera, Kapparis, Paralimni - and they are all well worth seeing. The resort of Ayia Napa is a 15 minute drive away and it is here that one of the largest water parks is located - this is a brilliant day out for the family. A visit to the quaint town of Paralimni is recommended and can be reached by car or the local bus service and takes approximately 10 minutes. Protaras is a lively resort with something for every age group and well worth a visit, once you have holidayed here you will keep coming back year after year.

Guestbook for Villa Karibu
"Villa Karibu is a spacious villa in a central location. Just a couple of minute’s walk from anywhere in Pernera really. The villa easily accommodated our party of seven (4 adults and 3 children) and was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The back garden catches the sun all day long and the pool is very large compared to most in the area. Tracy and her property maintenance team was very helpful and nothing was any trouble. Pernera itself has plenty of superb restaurants, so we found we didn’t go into Protaras as often as we thought. Another fantastic holiday in Pernera and we will definitely be returning next year". Gillian Bennett, 29th June-13th July 2011.
"Villa Karibu is an attractive, peaceful villa in a great location. Ideal for families as it has everything you need. The children loved the pool and we had lots of space to sunbath and relax. We were very sad to leave!" - The Blackburn family, August 2010.
"We would highly recommend the accommodation and the area for families. The villa is really close to the beach and the wooden walkway in to Protaras and walking distance from all the shops and restaurants. We had a really relaxing time at Villa Karibu and would love to go back". The Morrison's, July 2010.
We had a great holiday in your villa. It was modern and had all the bars and local supermarkets very close by which was really handy, especially when you have young children and don’t want to walk far. The beach is also really, really close and lovely and sandy. Thank you for a great holiday. Dave & Hazel Leyland. 30/8-13/9 2009.
We have really enjoyed our stay here. The villa is in a quiet location, yet close to all the amenities if you want to use them. The swimming pool offered us moments of relaxation and freedom. Surely “Villa Karibu” will be our first choice when we are back in Cyprus. Haris, Davina, Yiannis, Loukos & Nikoletta. 17/8-23/8 2009.
Our time here is fast ebbing away but we have really enjoyed having the use of the villa. From what we can see, this is the best placed villa on the Blue River Development. Pool is brilliant and a life-saver in the heat. Nicest beach was at Konnos Bay, positively Caribbean in terms of the water clarity. Water Park in Ayia Napa is a must; go early to get your loungers and brollies!! All in all, a great time in a lovely villa. Thank you – we’ll be back. Durean Lyon + Heather, Hannah, Joe and Ester. 31/7-14/8 2009.
Two weeks of gorgeous unbroken sunshine, very hot, but windy late afternoon. We recommend Mojito either for breakfast or an evening meal and the Spectrum Pub is a very nice friendly place to watch all the sports. The villa is superb in a great location. The pool was lovely and the BBQ came in very handy. The A/C was well needed. All in all a brilliant 14 days and the kids loved it. Thank you. Stuart Bishop. 17/5-31/5 2009.
The villa is great and in a fantastic position being just a stone’s throw away from the restaurants, shops, and the beaches of Pernera. Did some great snorkelling from the local beach (by the cafe with the grass – Blue Spice!). The indoor space is great with plenty of room for 7 of us. We made full use of the pool (nice to have a decent sized one!). Our kids loved it and so too did the grownups! You have furnished it very well and it felt like home-from-home. Thanks for letting us stay in your villa, we will certainly be recommending it to others. Peter, Hazel, Joyce, John, Sam, Emma & Georgia. Oct 2008.
Fabulous place to stay. Fantastic villa and location, spent most of the time in the pool (watch out for wind and umbrella!). Had everything we needed. Very close to a fabulous beach.See you next year... We will be recommending your villa to our friends and family. Jess, Clive, Beryl, Mike & Andy. August 2008.
We had a great time, kids loved the pool, close to the beach, great for families - everything as described - we will be back! Linda. April 2008.
