Where the hotel is
Elexus Hotel Resort & Spa is a resort hotel with a spa, located in Çatalköy on the north coast of Northern Cyprus, east of Girne (Kyrenia). This part of the coast is a quieter village area between the sea and the Beşparmak (Kyrenia) mountains, with Girne town within reach for dinners and shopping. Its nearest neighbour among the hotels we serve is Acapulco Resort Convention Spa, a little further along the same coastline.
The drive from Ercan Airport (ECN) crosses the mountain range to the north coast, and the winding road can be slower than the map suggests. When you book your return transfer from Elexus Hotel Resort & Spa, plan a comfortable margin before check-in so you are not watching the clock on the way back over the pass.
