Concorde Luxury Resort & Casino sits on the Bafra strip east of Famagusta — one of the larger and newer five-star resorts in North Cyprus. The property opened in 2018 with a substantial 569-room footprint, its own private sandy beach, an aquapark, a Vegas-style casino floor and one of the bigger spa surfaces on the island.
Location & access
The resort is in Bafra, the resort-heavy stretch east of Famagusta on the road toward Boğaz. Ercan Airport is roughly 45 minutes by car, and the broader Long Beach / Iskele coast lies between the resort and Famagusta itself. The location works for visitors who want the beach holiday and don't mind the longer drive into Famagusta town.
Rooms
Concorde lists 13 different room and suite categories, ranging from around 45 to 135 square metres. Every room has air-conditioning, a private bathroom and a balcony or terrace. Family rooms and interconnecting room options are part of the lineup — useful for groups travelling together — and the higher-tier suites add separate living areas and upgraded views.
Beach, pools and aquapark
The resort fronts its own private sandy beach with loungers and umbrellas. Behind it sit multiple outdoor pools, a wave pool, a children's splash area and a small aquapark with water slides. The combination gives families several swimming options across any visit — the wave pool and aquapark slides are uncommon in this size range and a notable differentiator from older resorts on the same coast.
Dining
Concorde runs as an ultra-all-inclusive — seven à la carte restaurants and an elegant buffet cover the day, with menus spanning Mediterranean, Turkish, Italian and Chinese cuisines, plus stylish indoor and outdoor bars. The dining footprint is intentionally large; the property pitches itself as a stay-on-resort destination rather than a base for eating around the area.
Casino, kids' club and entertainment
The on-site casino runs Vegas-style table games (poker, blackjack) and slot machines, separated from the family floors. One of the largest dedicated kids' clubs in Cyprus operates on-property with animation shows, plus a teen game zone and a bowling alley — making it one of the more programmed family resorts in the area.
Spa and wellness
The Concorde Spa & Wellness Center covers around 2,750 square metres, with Turkish baths, saunas, holistic therapies and the standard spa-treatment menu. The scale of the wellness floor matches the broader resort footprint — it's one of the bigger spa offerings on the eastern coast.
Who it suits
Concorde works best for visitors who want a stay-on-property family or casino holiday rather than a base for exploring the wider region. The aquapark and kids' club tip it toward families with children; the casino floor and dining range draw an adult crowd in the evenings. Visitors expecting a downtown, walkable address should look at the city hotels in Nicosia or Famagusta instead.
