A winter hotel night in North Cyprus starts at about 3,603 TL (~€65) for a room-only standard room on the Famagusta coast and runs past 19,000 TL (~€345) at the Long Beach casino resorts, as of prices checked on 19 October 2026.

What does a hotel night cost by region in winter 2026–27?
As of 19 October 2026, the cheapest rooms sampled for November 2026 and January 2027 ran from 3,603 TL (Famagusta coast, room only) to 25,500 TL (a Kyrenia casino resort, all-inclusive), per night for two adults. The July 2027 column is an early-booking price, not a peak-season floor:
| Region (hotel) | Room and board | 18–19 Nov 2026 | 13–14 Jan 2027 | Jul 2027 early booking |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Famagusta city (Caddemm Inn) | Economy room, room only | 4,370 TL (~€79) | No rooms shown | Not checked |
| Famagusta coast (Mimoza Beach) | Standard room, room only | 4,366 TL (~€79) | 3,603 TL (~€65) | No rooms shown |
| Famagusta coast (Arkın Palm Beach) | Standard garden view, breakfast | 9,000 TL (~€162) | 9,000 TL (~€162) | No rooms shown |
| Famagusta bay casino (Salamis Bay Conti) | Park standard, Ultra All Incl. | 12,100 TL (~€218) | 13,200 TL (~€237) | 26,000 TL (~€468) |
| İskele/Long Beach apart (Courtyard) | Standard/studio, room only | 4,427 TL (~€80) | 4,156 TL (~€75) | 6,594 TL (~€119) |
| İskele/Long Beach casino (Grand Sapphire) | Residence studio, Ultra All Incl. | 19,200 TL (~€345) | No rooms shown | No rooms shown |
| Bafra casino (Kaya Artemis) | Standard, Ultra All Incl. | 16,480 TL (~€296) | 14,080 TL (~€253) | 26,400 TL (~€475) |
| Bafra casino (Concorde Luxury) | Deluxe garden, Ultra All Incl. | 21,250 TL (~€382) | 20,400 TL (~€367) | 38,500 TL (~€693) |
| Kyrenia casino (comparison, Elexus) | Standard land view, Ultra All Incl. | 23,460 TL (~€422) | 25,500 TL (~€459) | No rooms shown |
| Nicosia city (comparison, Merit Lefkoşa) | Standard room, breakfast | 11,050 TL (~€199) | No rooms shown | No rooms shown |
Lira converts at the KKTC Central Bank rate of 17–19 October 2026 (€1 ≈ 55.59 TL, £1 ≈ 65.86 TL), so the Long Beach apart-resort January night is about £63. Some rows were priced on a minimum stay and divided down: Kaya Artemis and Elexus required 2 nights in winter (Kaya Artemis November total 32,960 TL), and the July 2027 quotes required 3 nights (4 at Kaya Artemis). Grand Sapphire had no January inventory, so its December quote — 17,600 TL for 9–10 December 2026 — is the nearest winter figure. Which sand sits behind each region’s price tag is answered beach by beach in the best beaches in North Cyprus, ranked honestly. The full dataset, with stay dates, room types and per-row source links, is published at /data/guides/hotel-prices-north-cyprus.csv.
How were these hotel prices sampled?
Each figure is the cheapest room shown on Etstur for a specific stay — two adults, checked on 19 October 2026 — with the hotel’s room type and board basis recorded alongside it. Three caveats come with that method. First, the bold prices are Etstur’s discounted rates for a single payment with one card program, and Etstur states its hotel prices apply to Turkish citizens; a hotel may ask other nationalities for a price difference, so treat the table as a like-for-like index, not a quote for your passport. Second, many rates carry an advertised discount (Mimoza’s November room shows 9,097 TL before a 52% special offer), and those offers change week to week. Third, some rows from the June 2026 edition could not be refreshed: the Famagusta city hotel used then, Port View, showed no rooms for any date tested and no longer appears in Etstur’s Famagusta list, so a different city hotel now fills that row.
How do seasons move hotel prices in North Cyprus?
Winter is the cheap window, and the gap is widest at the resorts: as of October 2026, the Famagusta-bay casino resort Salamis Bay Conti priced 12,100 TL for a November night against 26,000 TL a night for a July 2027 early-booking stay — more than double. The Bafra resort Concorde Luxury showed 20,400 TL in January against 38,500 TL in July 2027, and the Long Beach apart-resort Courtyard 4,156 TL against 6,594 TL (about +59%). City and mid-range stock moves less: Arkın Palm Beach on the Famagusta coast listed the same 9,000 TL for both November and January.
Bafra deserves a correction. Earlier editions of this guide described its big resorts as seasonal April–October operations; as of 19 October 2026, both Bafra resorts checked sell winter nights — Concorde Luxury for 18–19 November 2026 and 13–14 January 2027, Kaya Artemis on a 2-night minimum for the same weeks. Summer 2027 prices are already on sale, but they are early-booking rates with 45–50% advertised discounts and 3–4 night minimum stays, so they are a floor for next summer rather than its peak.
What do official statistics say about hotel prices in 2026?
According to the TRNC Statistical Institute, the average hotel price it tracks — a double-room bed price — was 12,890.92 TL (~€232) in September 2026, up 12.87% on September 2025, while overall consumer prices rose 35.02%. The wider restaurants & hotels group rose 23.25% year on year in the same September 2026 release. In plain terms: hotel prices in lira have risen far more slowly than the general cost of living over the past year, which is one reason the euro-equivalent winter rates in the table look modest. The institute’s average blends every hotel type it samples, so it sits between the room-only apart-resort and the all-inclusive casino rows above rather than matching any single property.
What do the hotel categories mean here?
Five labels cover almost the whole North Cyprus market, and board basis separates them more than star counts do. As of winter 2026–27:
- City hotel — Famagusta’s centre stock; the budget floor at 4,370 TL for an economy room-only night in November 2026. Walkable to the old town, no beach.
- Beach hotel — mid-range properties on the Famagusta coast, from 3,603 TL room-only (January 2027) to 9,000 TL with breakfast.
- Apart-resort — Long Beach’s signature product: apartment units inside resort complexes with pools, at 4,156–4,427 TL room-only this winter. The strip is mostly new-build — our Long Beach guide covers the area itself.
- Casino resort — the five-star segment is dominated by large casino-resort complexes, and the cheapest rate at every one checked in October 2026 was Ultra All Inclusive, at 12,100–25,500 TL a night by region in winter. Listed here as market data — whether the casino floor is a feature or a thing to walk past is your call.
- Karpaz guesthouse — the peninsula runs on small guesthouses and boutique places with few published fixed rates. Tripadvisor listed about 21 B&Bs around Dipkarpaz in June 2026; Karpaz was not re-priced in October 2026, so treat it as enquiry-priced and book direct.
How do you pair the hotel with a car?
A Famagusta or Long Beach hotel pairs with a rental car at zero delivery cost: Kipra Rent A Car is a Famagusta-based local rental company that delivers cars free of charge across Famagusta and to Long Beach, with VAT and third-party insurance included in every displayed price. The handover-at-reception mechanics are in the hotel delivery guide, and if you land at Ercan the airport pickup page covers the arrival end. A winter stay at a room-only apart-resort leaves meals and day trips to plan yourself, which is where a car earns its place — the trip budget guide puts hotel, food and fuel lines together so you can see the whole week’s number in one place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Long Beach or Famagusta better value in winter?
Room-only rates are close as of winter 2026–27: a Long Beach apart-resort studio at 4,156–4,427 TL against 3,603–4,366 TL for a Famagusta beach-hotel standard room. The city buys walkable old-town access; Long Beach buys new-build units with kitchens and pools.
Is breakfast usually included?
It depends on the rate, not the star count. The cheapest rates at every casino resort checked in October 2026 were Ultra All Inclusive, while the cheapest Famagusta and Long Beach rooms were room-only, so compare the board basis before comparing prices.
