Where the hotel is
Shayna Beach Club Hotel is, as the name suggests, a beach club hotel on the coast at Çatalköy, east of Girne (Kyrenia) in Northern Cyprus. Concorde Aria Hotel & Casino and MC Palace Hotel are both a short walk away, and Meryem's Hotel is nearby too, so the hotel sits within a small group of hotels in the village. Bellapais Abbey is a short drive up into the hills, while Kyrenia Castle and the harbour are a short drive west.
Beach holidays often mean extra bags, snorkelling gear or a folded pushchair. Our vehicles are listed with passenger and luggage capacity, so choose one with room for everything when you book the ride from Ercan Airport (ECN) to Shayna Beach Club Hotel, rather than squeezing it all into the boot.
