Hemingway’s – a destination for day and night
One of the main attractions at the stunning new Karpaz Bay Resort is Hemingway’s – a contemporary restaurant, named after the American author, Ernest Hemingway who penned the famous novella entitled The Old Man and the Sea.
Hemingway, who lived between 1899 and 1961, had a fascination for travel and adventure, and his visits to exotic locations such as Cuba, Africa and Florida were well documented in his writing. We wish to believe that Northern Cyprus, the home of Karpaz Bay Resort, with its unspoilt surroundings, could well have been another exotic location Hemingway would have liked to have added to his island travel itinerary.
Hemingway’s is a lively and elegant restaurant offering formal and casual dining, both day and night. Visitors to Hemingway’s can enjoy a diverse range of freshly-prepared and delicious dishes including breakfast, lunch and dinner, all of which are prepared to the highest standards. The menu includes an exciting and extensive range of international dishes, such as fresh fish, meat, pasta and traditional Cypriot fare, and is complemented by a surprising wine list with something for every palette.
Stunning views
Up to 200 people can be accommodated at Hemingway’s. The spacious, bright and airy interior has stylish and welcoming décor, and there is an eclectic mix of seating in the lounge, as well as high and low tables and comfortable booth seats. Hemingway’s is child-friendly and also convenient for the disabled, with its spacious surrounds and wide access doors. Multiple widescreen TV screens also show international news and sports.
Further seating is available on the extensive outdoor terrace - an ideal place for visitors to while away the hours, admiring the views of the turquoise waters and boats in the marina as they come and go. The outside terrace is also a designated smoking area and place for guests who are accompanied by pets.
Later this year a roof top bar will be added to Hemingway’s, which will add a further attraction and will offer panoramic views of the marina and beyond.
An inspired design
Renowned interior designer Sinan Kafadar of Metex Design Group was selected to design Hemingway’s and to create the inspirational and relaxing environment which is now open to visitors. The Group’s international projects have included award-wining hotels and resorts including the Four Seasons Hotel in Istanbul and Kempniski in Bodrum, among many others.
