The Cratos Premium resort on the Turkish side of Cyprus is scheduled to open officially in the beginning of June. With a price tag of $220 million, to date it is the largest tourism-sector investment within either the Turkish or Greek side of the Mediterranean island nation.

The resort is the first hotel project from construction firm BozGroup of Turkey. The developer self-financed the building of the Cratos Premium.

The hotel features 10 king suites and 410 premium rooms, half of which are suites. Thirty-five different décor schemes have been employed in the rooms.

The casino will have 250 slot machines and 35 table games.

Resort amenities include 14 fine dining and gourmet restaurants, a spa, a beach club that is open 24 hours a day and a private beach that is one kilometer long. A large ballroom and 14 meeting rooms are available to host seminars and events.

A soft opening of the resort is expected in mid May.
