Questions Buyers Always Ask (and Our Honest Answers)

Buying a property is a big step, whether it’s your future home, a holiday house, or a long-term investment. Over the years, we have been asked just about every question you can imagine. Some are simple, others are smart, but all of them matter.

Here are 10 real questions our buyers ask
(and our honest answers)

1. What makes a specific property a good investment,
beyond location?

A strong investment property goes far beyond “sea view” or being close to shops. When buying, you should assess four key elements: rental yield potential (both short and long-term), long-term capital appreciation, ease of resale, and nearby infrastructure growth (e,g. new roads, schools, or commercial development). A beautiful property in the wrong part of town is not a great investment.

2. How is the payment schedule structured?

The payment schedule is typically linked to construction stages, allowing you to make payments gradually as the project progresses. The stages may include contract signing, foundation, brick work, floors, and delivery. For early-stage developments, we provide a clear breakdown with estimated timelines from the beginning, so you always know what to expect. This structure gives you both flexibility and visibility. For ready or near-completion units, the process is usually simpler. 

3. Can I customise the layout, finishes, or features?

Yes, especially if you are purchasing off-plan or early in the construction process. We offer a selection of finishes, materials, and design packages that can be tailored to your style and lifestyle. In some projects, layout adjustments might be possible, depending on structural and planning limits. Our team will guide you through what’s included as standard and what might involve additional cost or extended construction time. The earlier you buy, the more flexibility you usually have, and we will make sure your options are clear and realistic from day one. 

4. I will not live there full-time.
Who manages the property when I am away?

Whether you plan to rent it out or keep it just for yourself, your property still needs looking after when you are not around. We work closely with reputable third-party companies who handle everything from maintenance and cleaning to guest check-ins and rental management. Even if you only visit a few times a year, we can help ensure your home is kept in excellent condition and ready whenever you arrive. We offer honest, experience-based advice and can personally introduce you to trusted local providers. Many of our clients live abroad and have peace of mind knowing their property is well cared for year-round.

5. Can I buy through a company instead of my personal name?

Yes, this is entirely possible. Some buyers, especially investors or those planning for inheritance or tax efficiency, choose to purchase through a company. This can offer advantages such as asset protection, easier transfer of ownership, or potential tax benefits depending on your home country’s laws. It’s important to make this decision early, as it affects how contracts and legal documents are prepared. You are free to work with your own lawyer, or we can connect you with trusted local professionals who are experienced in handling company purchases.

6. What if I want to resell this property in 3-5 years?

It is a common scenario, and completely doable. Many of our buyers eventually resell, whether they are upgrading, relocating, or cashing out an investment. In some cases, you may even have the right to assign the contract before delivery. We will support you by connecting you with trusted local resale agents, advising on timing, and assisting with the paperwork. We may also offer insights into how similar properties have performed in the market, so you can make a well-informed decision.

7. Is it safe to buy property in a country where I don’t speak the language or understand the legal system?

Buying a property abroad can feel intimidating, unfamiliar laws, documents in another language, and different ways of doing business. Fortunately, the legal system here is straightforward and based on common law, which offers a clear framework for international buyers. All contracts and legal documents are provided in English (or your preferred language), and you will work with independent lawyers who specialise in supporting foreign buyers through every step. We are here to make the process smooth and stress-free. 

8. How can I be sure everything is legal and transparent?

We take legal preparation seriously. All of our projects come with full documentation, plots free of any encumbrance, approved planning and building permits, and transparent contracts. We always encourage buyers to use an independent lawyer as well. We are happy to work directly with your legal representative and provide anything they need. 

9. What don’t most people ask, but probably should?

Long-term ownership costs. Buyers often focus on the sale price but forget to account for annual property taxes, building maintenance, insurance, and potential vacancy periods if renting out. We walk you through all of this from the beginning, so you have the full picture. 

10. What makes you different from other developers?

We are not here to push a sale; we are here to build relationships. Alongside our excellent quality of work, we prioritise transparent pricing, legal clarity, honest market advice, and after-sales support. With over 60 years of experience, we have earned a reputation for delivering reliable, high-standard projects across generations. All of our developments are fully self-financed, which means we do not rely on pre-sales or outside investors to begin construction, giving you confidence in our financial stability and ability to deliver. We also operate our own in-house construction company, which allows us to control quality at every step, reduce unnecessary costs, and offer the best possible price without compromising on standards.

Why Self-Financed Developers Offer Confidence to Buyers

Why Self-Financed Developers Offer
Confidence to Buyers

Buying property abroad is a significant decision. Naturally, buyers want to know: Will the project actually be completed on time? Will construction progress smoothly? One of the most important factors in answering these questions is how the project is financed.

Developers fund their projects in different ways. Some rely on pre-sales or external investors to begin construction, while others use their own capital. Understanding these approaches helps buyers make informed decisions about timelines, progress, and overall confidence in their purchase.

All of our projects are fully self-financed, which ensures that construction progresses steadily from start to finish. This approach gives buyers confidence that timelines will be met and that each property will be delivered to the highest standards.

The Clear Advantages of Self-Financed Projects

·       Construction follows a planned schedule: With internal funding, projects advance according to clearly defined milestones: contract signing, foundation work, frame completion, brickwork, floor laying and final delivery. Buyers can be confident that construction will not be delayed by funding issues or reliance on outside investors.

·       Financial stability and reduced risk: Self-financing provides a solid financial foundation. Projects are less vulnerable to market fluctuations, investor delays, or changes in pre-sale demand. This gives buyers confidence that construction will continue steadily, even during challenging economic conditions.

·       Transparency and predictability: When the developer controls the finances, communication around timelines, payments, and progress is straightforward.

·       Buyers know exactly what to expect at each stage, reducing uncertainty and making the buying process smoother and less stressful.

·       Confidence in delivery: Knowing that a project is self-financed allows buyers to focus on choosing the right property, planning their lifestyle, or making investment decisions, without worrying about whether the development will be completed on time.

In addition to self-financing, we design, license and construct all of our projects through our own construction company which brings further advantages for buyers:

·       Direct quality control: We oversee every stage of construction ourselves, ensuring the highest standards and attention to detail.

·       Cost efficiency: Internal construction reduces unnecessary mark-ups, allowing us to offer buyers the best possible price without compromising quality.

·       Flexibility and customisation: Buyers can choose finishes and materials. In-house control ensures that these options are realistic and do not delay construction.

·       Efficient problem-solving: Any challenges that arise are addressed immediately, without waiting on third-party contractors or investor approvals, keeping projects on track.

Owning our construction company complements our self-financing approach: while self-financing secures the project financially, in-house construction guarantees quality, flexibility, and efficiency throughout the building process. Together, they give buyers maximum confidence in their investment and a better value for money property.

For buyers, these advantages translate into real peace of mind. Whether purchasing off-plan or early in a project’s development, you can be confident that your property will progress according to plan, maintain high quality, and meet delivery timelines.

Combined with our over 64 years of experience, self-financing and in-house construction ensure that each property is delivered with quality, reliability, and transparency, giving buyers confidence in their investment every step of the way.

Choosing a self-financed project is about reducing risk, increasing confidence, and ensuring quality from start to finish. Buyers can focus on selecting the right property and planning their lifestyle or investment strategy, knowing the development is secure, professionally managed, and progressing exactly as planned.

Why Digital Nomads Are Relocating to Paphos, Cyprus

Why Digital Nomads Are Relocating to Paphos, Cyprus

In recent years, Cyprus has quietly emerged as one of Europe’s most desirable destinations for digital nomads. Paphos, in particular, is leading the charge. This sun-drenched coastal city offers a powerful combination of lifestyle, affordability, and accessibility, making it the perfect place for remote workers who want more than just a desk and a Wi-Fi connection.

If you’re looking to relocate, invest smartly, and live well while maintaining a flexible lifestyle, Paphos may be exactly what you’re searching for. At the heart of this exciting movement is Domenica Group, a leading Cyprus property developer offering new one-bedroom apartments starting at just €165,000 + VAT. It’s an incredible opportunity for digital nomads to secure a permanent base in paradise.

Let’s explore what makes Paphos so attractive, the lifestyle benefits that keep digital nomads coming, and how Domenica Group can help make your transition effortless.

 

Cyprus: A Tax-Friendly Haven for Digital Nomads

One of the biggest reasons digital nomads are choosing Cyprus is the country’s incredibly favorable tax system. 

Click here to get all the details about Cyprus Tax. 

Cyprus offers one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the European Union at just 12.5%. For individuals, the first €19,500 of annual income is tax-free, and the country has zero wealth, gift, or inheritance tax. For many digital nomads, this means significant savings and a chance to grow income without heavy tax burdens.

New residents who are not domiciled in Cyprus can enjoy zero tax on most dividend and interest income for up to 17 years. If you’re earning a salary from outside Cyprus, there’s even more good news. New tax residents may benefit from a 50% income tax exemption on annual earnings above €55,000 for up to 17 years.

There’s also a reduced 5% VAT on the first €350,000 of a new primary residence, significantly reducing the upfront costs of purchasing a home. Add in over 60 double-tax treaties with countries around the world and Cyprus becomes one of the most advantageous locations in Europe for remote professionals.

For nomads seeking to legally optimize their taxes while enjoying full EU protections and a Mediterranean lifestyle, Cyprus is a strategic choice.

 

Why Paphos Stands Out

While Cyprus overall has a lot to offer, Paphos specifically has become the hotspot for digital nomads, and for good reason.

Paphos is a UNESCO World Heritage Site filled with ancient history and Mediterranean charm. But it’s also a modern, forward-thinking city with everything a digital nomad could want: fast internet, coworking spaces, international schools, low crime rates, and exceptional healthcare.

The climate is another big draw. With around 340 days of sunshine a year, Paphos boasts one of the best year-round weather conditions in Europe. Winters are mild, summers are hot and dry, and the sea is always inviting. You can work from a sunny terrace in the morning, take a beach break at lunch, and enjoy an outdoor dinner with friends as the sun sets over the water.

For those seeking a healthy, outdoor lifestyle, Paphos delivers. The city offers easy access to scenic hiking trails, bike routes, golf courses, and of course, an abundance of beaches.

Beaches, Nature, and the Best of the Outdoors

Imagine finishing your morning Zoom calls and heading straight to the sea for a midday swim. That’s a regular reality in Paphos.

The city is known for its clean, swimmable waters and countless Blue Flag beaches. From the lively Coral Bay to more tranquil hidden coves, there’s a beach for every mood. The Mediterranean is warm and calm for most of the year, making it perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, and kayaking.

But Paphos isn’t just about the beach. The city is surrounded by natural beauty, including the rugged Akamas Peninsula and the scenic Troodos Mountains. Whether you prefer weekend hikes, cycling, or discovering waterfalls and natural hot springs, the options are endless.

This lifestyle offers balance for digital nomads: work hard, live fully, and never feel stuck indoors.

 

Hotel Hopping Meets Home Ownership

One of the unexpected benefits of being based in Paphos is the variety of luxury hotels, resorts, and boutique stays available throughout the city. Many digital nomads enjoy mixing things up, staying a few nights in a luxury resort or spa hotel, then returning to the comfort of their permanent home.

Paphos makes this seamless. From five-star beachfront resorts to modern boutique hotels with rooftop pools, digital nomads can experience a rotating series of luxury environments. It’s ideal for creative inspiration or mini staycations.

This flexibility is part of what makes owning a home here such a smart move. Having a secure, stylish base like a newly built one-bedroom apartment from Domenica Group gives you consistency and peace of mind. You can still enjoy the best hotels when you want to treat yourself, but your everyday life is grounded in a place that’s truly your own.

Affordable Luxury with Domenica Group

Domenica Group has over 60 years of experience developing high-quality, energy-efficient homes in Cyprus. With a sterling reputation for design, engineering, and customer service, Domenica Group is now offering one-bedroom apartments starting from just €165,000 + VAT. This price point is ideal for digital nomads looking to invest in a permanent base.

These apartments are newly built, modern in design, and situated in prime locations across Paphos, often just minutes from the beach, city center, or shopping areas. Amenities vary by project but may include communal swimming pools, landscaped gardens, private parking, and energy-saving smart home features.

What makes these homes even more appealing is the potential VAT reduction. If you plan to use the home as your main residence, the VAT on the first €350,000 may be just 5% instead of the standard 19%. That is a huge savings when buying property.

With such competitive pricing, it’s not just a lifestyle upgrade. It’s a smart long-term investment in a growing, high-demand market.

 

A Home Built for Your Future

When you buy from Domenica Group, you’re not just getting a property. You’re getting full support. The company provides in-house legal services, relocation guidance, and personalized consulting to help you find the right home and secure it easily.

For digital nomads who may not be familiar with Cyprus property law, this service is invaluable. Domenica’s team can help you understand residency options, investment benefits, and the entire buying process from first contact to move-in day.

Whether you plan to live in Cyprus full time, divide your year between countries, or simply want a secure European base for your travels, owning a Domenica property gives you peace of mind.

 

You’re getting a home designed to meet modern expectations: energy efficiency, comfort, style, and long-term value.

Community, Culture, and Connectivity

Paphos is more than beaches and ruins. It’s a city with a vibrant international community. English is widely spoken, and many digital nomads report feeling at home quickly.

Cafes with Wi-Fi, community events, and weekly meetups for entrepreneurs and remote workers are common. You’ll find a healthy blend of local charm and global culture, from Cypriot tavernas to sushi restaurants and coworking hubs.

The airport offers direct flights to dozens of European cities, making Paphos a central, connected hub for nomads who travel frequently or maintain ties in other countries.

And when you want to slow down, the pace of life in Paphos lets you do just that. It’s the perfect antidote to the hustle and burnout often associated with fast-paced urban living.

 

Make the Move. We’re Here to Help

If you’ve been dreaming of a Mediterranean lifestyle, tax-friendly policies, and an affordable place to call home, Paphos is waiting.

Domenica Group is here to help you take the next step. With newly built one-bedroom apartments starting at €165,000 + VAT and a team of professionals ready to assist with legal guidance and personalized advice, we make it simple and secure to relocate.

Whether you’re still exploring your options or ready to commit, we invite you to leave your details on our website. One of our experts will reach out to provide free consulting, answer your questions, and tailor a property recommendation that suits your needs.

The freedom to live and work from paradise is no longer just a dream. With Domenica Group, it can be your new reality.

The End of the UK Non-Dom Regime: Why Now Is the Time for British Nationals to Relocate to Cyprus

UK Abolishes Non-Dom Tax Status - What It Means for High-Net-Worth UK Residents

As of 6 April 2025, the UK officially abolished its non-domiciled (non-dom) tax regime. Announced in the Spring Budget 2024 and now in full effect, these reforms represent the most significant shake-up of the UK’s international tax framework in two decades.

Under the previous regime, UK residents who were non-doms could elect to be taxed on a remittance basis, meaning they only paid UK tax on foreign income and gains if and when those funds were brought into the UK. This approach offered international professionals and high-net-worth individuals a reliable and completely legal way to manage their tax exposure on foreign assets. However, that option is now gone.

What Changed?

The UK has now moved to a residence-based tax system for all individuals, regardless of domicile. The key changes include:

  • Worldwide taxation: All UK residents are now subject to tax on their worldwide income and capital gains, even if those assets are never remitted to the UK.
  • Abolition of the remittance basis: The option to only pay tax on foreign income when it enters the UK has been removed.
  • End of trust protections: Previously, non-doms could set up settlor-interested offshore trusts that were protected from UK taxation. As of April 2025, foreign income and gains in offshore trusts are now taxed annually if the settlor is UK-resident.
  • Inheritance Tax (IHT) Reforms: The UK is transitioning from a domicile-based to a residence-based IHT system. Individuals become subject to UK IHT on worldwide assets after 10 years of UK tax residence and may remain exposed for up to 10 years after leaving.
  • Temporary repatriation facility: A transitional window until April 2028 allows historic foreign income and gains to be remitted to the UK at reduced rates (12% or 15%).
  • New 4-Year relief for inbound UK residents: New UK residents who were non-resident for at least 10 of the past 12 years may benefit from a temporary exemption on foreign income and gains for up to four years.

For globally mobile professionals and wealth holders, these changes substantially increase their long-term tax costs of maintaining UK residency. Offshore structures that were once effective for deferral and asset protection are now subject to annual taxation, making them far less effective. As a result, estate planning must be revisited in light of the UK’s move to a residence-based IHT regime. 

Cyprus: A Strategic and Tax-Efficient Alternative

In response to the UK’s changes, many
British nationals are now evaluating relocation. Cyprus has emerged as a
leading alternative, combining transparent tax laws, a common law legal system
familiar to UK nationals, EU alignment, and an exceptional quality of life.

Key Benefits of Becoming a Tax Resident in Cyprus

  • Attractive Non-Dom regime
    Cyprus offers a highly attractive non-dom regime. Qualifying individuals benefit from zero tax on dividends and passive interest for 17 years, regardless of remittance or location.
  • Low and progressive income tax
    If you earn over €55,000 annually, you may qualify for a 50% income tax exemption, drastically reducing effective tax rates. Combined with the exemptions from Special Defence Contribution (SDC) on dividends, interest, and rental income, your overall tax burden can fall as low as 3.6% to 17.5%.
  • No wealth, gift, or inheritance taxes
    Cyprus imposes no taxes on global assets, wealth transfers, or gifts, making it an optimal jurisdiction for long-term wealth preservation and succession planning.
  • Flexible Tax Residency Options
    Cyprus offers two routes to tax residency. The first is the 183-day rule, which grants tax residency to individuals who spend at least 183 days per year in the country. Alternatively, the 60-day rule allows individuals to qualify for tax residency by spending a minimum of 60 days in Cyprus, provided they maintain a permanent residence (either owned or rented), have business or professional ties in Cyprus, and not reside in any single country for more than 183 days.

Real Estate: Your Gateway to Relocation and Tax Freedom

Cyprus’s Permanent Residency Program is one of the most straightforward in Europe and offers a compelling route for
third-party nationals, including British citizens, to secure EU residency through real estate investment. By investing a minimum
300,000 + VAT in eligible residential property, individuals and their families can obtain permanent
residence. This enables access to Cyprus’s generous tax benefits without the need for complex offshore structures, while enjoying the lifestyle advantage of an EU Mediterranean country.

At Domenica Group, we specialise in premium properties in Paphos, from seaside villas with panoramic views to modern city apartments with top-tier amenities and proximity to international schools. We provide full-service guidance from property selection to legal and residency support, ensuring a smooth and confident relocation to Cyprus.

Ready to Take Control of Your Financial Future?

The UK’s recent tax reforms have fundamentally changed the long-term implications of maintaining UK residency, especially for high-net-worth individuals and families with international ties. These changes are prompting many to reconsider where they live, invest, and build their future.

Relocating to Paphos offers lifestyle, stability, and tax efficiency in a transparent EU jurisdiction with straightforward residency through property investment, allowing you to plan with confidence and protect your family’s future.

Contact our expert team at Domenica Group to explore how Cyprus can offer not just residency, but lasting freedom and financial peace of mind.

Tax Benefits of Living in and Investing in Cyprus

Updated 13/06/2025

Cyprus offers one of the most favourable tax regimes in the European Union. 

Corporate tax is levied at a flat 12.5%, one of the lowest rates in Europe. Personal income is taxed progressively up to 35%, but the first €19,500 of annual income is entirely tax-free. Dividend and interest income are fully exempt from income tax, and Cyprus imposes no inheritance, wealth, or gift tax. Cyprus also maintains an extensive network of over 60 double taxation agreements (DTAs), helping prevent double taxation and reduce withholding taxes on cross-border payments. These features, combined with EU legal standards, investor protections, and straightforward residency rules, make Cyprus highly attractive for both residents and international investors.

Key tax highlights:

  • Low corporate tax: Flat 12.5% rate (below the EU average).
  • Generous personal allowance: First €19,500 of income is tax-free.
  • Tax-exempt income:
    • Dividends and most interest income are exempt from personal income tax.
    • Non-domiciled residents pay 0% tax on dividends, interest and most capital gains (including foreign income) for up to 17 years.
  • No death taxes: No inheritance or gift tax.
  • Double taxation relief: Over 60 DTAs (including with the UK, Germany, China and others) reduce or eliminate tax on cross-border dividends, interest and royalties.

Personal Income Tax Benefits for Residents

EU Citizens

Citizens of EU/EEA member states can move to Cyprus freely without a visa, making relocation simple. Once they become
Cyprus tax residents, EU nationals enjoy full access to Cyprus’s tax incentives, including the non-domicile regime, which exempts foreign dividends, and rental income from taxation. They also benefit from the same pension-friendly rules as other residents, as well as no inheritance or gift tax, making Cyprus particularly attractive for long-term planning. 

Non-EU Investors

Non-EU nationals must obtain residency, commonly by purchasing real estate. Once tax-resident, they are treated much like EU residents. Importantly, Cyprus offers generous expatriate tax incentives regardless of EU status. For instance, newcomer workers earning €55,000 or more per year from Cyprus employment receive a 50% personal income tax exemption for 17 years. Even lower salaries can benefit from transitional relief up to €8,550 per year, a legacy measure currently under review for potential enhancement. Non-EU investors also enjoy the familiar non-dom exemptions: 0% tax on dividends, interest and capital gains for 17 years. In short, once a non-EU investor meets Cyprus tax residency (via 183-day or 60-day rules), they receive essentially the full range of Cyprus tax benefits for residents, including those listed above.

Retirees

Retirees who make Cyprus their home benefit from one of Europe’s most pension-friendly tax regimes. Cyprus tax residents must report worldwide pension income but can choose each tax year how it is assessed: either include it under the normal income tax bands (which start at 0% on income up to 19,500) or apply a flat 5% rate on pension income exceeding €3,420 or include it in standard income tax (starting at 0% on €19,500). Most retirees opt for the 5% flat rate on foreign pension income, which is often more favourable. Moreover, pension lump-sums (such as retirement gratuities or one-off withdrawals) are not taxed in Cyprus. The country also imposes no inheritance or gift tax, offering further advantages for retirees concerned with estate planning. Combined with access to public healthcare and a high quality of life, these tax benefits make Cyprus a top retirement destination for EU and non-EU nationals.

Digital Nomads

Cyprus has crafted specific incentives for remote workers and digital nomads. Individuals who qualify as Cyprus tax residents (by spending >183 days or using the 60-day rule) enjoy the island’s full tax benefits. In practice this means 0% tax on dividend income and capital gains (except gains from selling Cyprus real estate). Crucially, Cyprus also grants a 50% income tax exemption on foreign-earned income above €55,000 for up to 17 years. In effect, a nomad earning, say, €70,000 abroad would pay taxes on only half the excess (€15,000 taxed normally). These tax benefits, combined with Cyprus’s warm climate and EU safety, make it an attractive hub for location-independent professionals.

Corporate Tax Advantages

Cyprus is equally generous to companies. All Cyprus-resident corporations pay 12.5% corporate tax on worldwide profits with many expenses and investments deductible. Significantly, Cyprus does not levy withholding taxes on dividends or interest paid to foreign shareholders. This means companies can repatriate profits or invest across borders with minimal extra tax. For example, under Cypriot law dividends distributed to non-resident shareholders bear no Cyprus withholding tax. Local law firms note that this makes Cyprus a favoured location for holding companies, especially since foreign tax credits and treaties further prevent double taxation. Cyprus also imposes no withholding on most royalties paid abroad, and its network of DTAs (tax treaties) helps reduce tax on cross-border interest and royalties. For shipping and certain industries, even special tonnage and IP regimes can yield additional savings. Overall, the 12.5% rate plus these exemptions position Cyprus as one of Europe’s most business-friendly tax jurisdictions. Notably, qualifying intellectual property income can be taxed at an effective rate as low as 2.5% under Cyprus’s IP Box regime, offering further advantages for innovation-driven businesses.

Property Investment Tax Benefits

Cyprus provides compelling tax incentives for property buyers, whether buying a home or an investment.

Residential Property

Buying a property in Cyprus offers lifestyle comforts and tax perks. For example, new primary residences qualify
for a reduced 5% VAT (instead of the standard 19%) on the first
350,000 of the purchase price (up to 130m²), provided that the total value does not exceed 475,000, the area is under 190m², it is the buyer’s first use of the scheme, and the property
is used as their primary home for at least 10 years. These rules apply to properties for which the application for a planning permit was submitted after November 2024. Properties with planning permit applications submitted before this date may still benefit from the previous rule, which allowed the 5% VAT rate on the first 200m² of a primary residence.

On sale, capital gains tax on private residences is capped at 20%, but there is a generous allowance (currently €85,430 tax-free) for principal homes. Moreover, Cyprus abolished annual property taxes and has no inheritance tax, so primary homes can often transfer to heirs without tax. Notably, only gains on Cyprus-situated property are taxed – foreign real estate sales incur no Cyprus tax. These policies make owning a Cyprus home especially attractive for long-term residents.

Investment Property

For rental or investment properties, Cyprus also offers efficiency. Rental income is taxed under normal income rules, but property owners may deduct most related expenses such as maintenance, management fees, and mortgage interest when computing taxable profit. This effectively reduces the tax burden on rental yields. Importantly, Cyprus’s network of double tax treaties ensures that rental income is generally taxed only once – either in Cyprus or in the owner’s country of residence or in Cyprus, depending on the treaty terms. When an investment property is sold, Cyprus levies a 20% capital gains tax on the profit derived from Cyprus-located immovable property (i.e. land and buildings). However, no capital gains tax is imposed on the sale of i) shares in companies owning foreign property, or ii) assets located outside Cyprus. In combination, these rules create an efficient and transparent tax environment for real estate investment, whether residential or commercial.

Discover Paphos’s Best Beaches: Sun, Sand, and Sea Views

Paphos is a seaside paradise where golden sand meets calm blue waters, perfect for sunseekers, families, and anyone dreaming of a holiday home. In our video, we visit four outstanding shores in Paphos: Venus Beach, Coral Bay Beach, Kafizis Beach, and Coralia Beach. Each offers its own charm. Coral Bay is especially “known for its golden sands” and crystal-clear waters, while reviewers note that local beaches generally have very calm swimming conditionswanderlog.com. Whether you’re a tourist, planning to relocate, or considering retirement here, these beaches in Paphos deliver big on beauty and seaside fun.

Venus Beach

Tucked just south of Paphos Town, Venus Beach is a small sandy cove right next to the ancient Tombs of the Kings archaeological park. This lovely beach has fine, soft sand and thanks to protective rock breakwaters, exceptionally calm, clear water. It’s ideal for a leisurely swim or gentle snorkeling. Families love Venus Beach because the shallow sea is very safe for children, and you can even wander over to explore the Tombs of the Kings after a day on the sand. In short, Venus Beach blends relaxation and history, making it a peaceful spot to unwind in Paphos.

Coral Bay Beach

Coral Bay Beach is a long, horseshoe-shaped stretch of soft golden sand just north of Paphos (in Peyia). It’s hugely popular with families. The water at Coral Bay is warm, shallow and calm, perfect for kids to splash around safely. You’ll find rows of sunbeds and umbrellas, plus lots of amenities along the shore. For excitement, Coral Bay offers plenty of water sports: you can ride jet skis, try parasailing or windsurfing, and even go diving in the clear waters. After playing in the sea, many visitors grab a bite at a beach bar or restaurant. In fact, the bay’s western-facing position means it’s a great place to enjoy a sunset cocktail before heading in for the evening.

Kafizis Beach

If you want a quieter spot, head west to Kafizis Beach (also known as Maniki) near the Agios Georgios/Pegeia area. Kafizis is a small Blue-Flag beach that feels very secluded and peaceful visitcyprus.com. It has mostly pebbles and some sand, with clean, rather deep water framed by rocky outcrops. There are a few facilities, sunbeds, umbrellas, showers and even a cozy taverna on the beach but no crowds to speak of. Kafizis is “quiet” and has a wild, natural beauty, making it ideal for stretching out on the sand or exploring the rocks. It’s perfect if you simply want to relax in the sun or enjoy a tranquil swim away from the bustle.

Coralia Beach

Coralia Beach (also called Laourou Beach) is a hidden gem tucked just below Coral Bay. It’s famed for its scenic bays of soft golden sand and crystal-clear, shallow waters. The layout of Coralia with several small inlets framed by gentle waves makes it feel very picturesque. Families appreciate that the water stays calm here, so little ones can safely splash near the shore. After a day by the water, Coralia’s beachfront tavernas are an ideal place to enjoy local seafood. In fact, one guide notes that Coralia is “the perfect spot to enjoy … a sunset meal after a day at the beach”. With its peaceful atmosphere and stunning sunset views, Coralia Beach is a beautiful retreat for anyone looking to end the day in style.

Beachside Living with Domenica Group

If these beaches have captured your heart, you’ll be glad to know many seaside homes are within walking distance of the sand. Domenica Group develops villas and apartments right near these Paphos beaches often just minutes on foot. For example, one new Domenica community “MARE Villas” in Kato Paphos sit just 200 meters from the seadomenicagroup.com. Most of these properties boast lovely sea views and all the modern comforts.

Grand Opening of Park of Colors & Introducing ELEMENTS Residences

The city of Pafos celebrated a major new attraction on Sunday, May 25th: the Park of Colors officially opened with a vibrant spring festival. The Municipality of Pafos hosted an evening of music, dance and games to mark the inauguration, and attendees enjoyed live performances, creative workshops and sports activities for children, a celebration truly “dedicated to nature, children and cultural expression”  talanews.blogspot.com. Notably, the event was sponsored by Domenica Group, demonstrating the company’s commitment to the community.

Spread over 32,000 square meters, the Park of Colors delivers amenities and lush scenery at every turn. Visitors describe it as a “picturesque retreat” where “you’ll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors”evendo.com. Broad lawns and shaded walking paths invite families to picnic and explore, while benches and outdoor exhibit areas are nestled among botanical gardens and playgrounds. Sporting facilities abound, tennis and basketball courts, a small football field, a climbing wall and a skatepark, making it one of the largest parks in Pafosdomenicagroup.com. For full details on the park project, see the official Park of Colors page.

Elements: Modern Apartments by Domenica

Just steps from the new park, Domenica Group is developing ELEMENTS, a boutique residential community that brings luxury city living to Pafos. Nestled within the Park of Colors development, Elements will feature four modern 8-story buildings with a total of 1‑, 2‑ and 3‑bedroom apartments domenicagroup.com.

ELEMENTS offers a resort-like lifestyle to its residents. Building amenities will include an indoor pool, fitness center, and concierge service, plus social lounges, a business lounge, a game room and even children’s play and study areas. Landscaped gardens and rooftop terraces provide additional places to relax and entertain. Thoughtful touches like central heating provision, energy-efficient construction and pre-installed appliances underline the premium standard.
