New homes
New build homes in Ayios Tychonas, Limassol
Ayios Tychonas produces three distinct new-build products depending on which band of the district a plot sits in: resort-style low-rise apartments on the coastal strip, village-scale houses in the historic core, and villas or boutique schemes on the hillside above, each shaped by different planning constraints.
Arvora does not currently build in Ayios Tychonas; we monitor its new-build pipeline and advise buyers weighing it against our projects in Columbia and Ekali, particularly given the archaeological constraints that limit coastal supply here more than in most Limassol districts.

What actually gets built here
The Amathus archaeological site and its protected zone constrain building height and footprint near the coast, which keeps the coastal strip's new-build supply structurally limited compared with denser parts of the Limassol seafront — this is a planning constraint rather than a market one, and it does not change with demand.
Above the archaeological zone, the village core sees occasional infill houses, while the hillside supports villas and small boutique low-rise schemes on plots generous enough for private pools and gardens, the widest plot sizes of any coastal-adjacent Limassol district.
Sizes, parking and storage
Coastal resort apartments typically run 70–120 m² with a covered veranda and one parking space per unit. Hillside villas run considerably larger, from around 200 m² up to 350 m² or more on plots of 500 m² and above, usually with a private pool, garden and two-car parking as standard given the plot allowance.
Cost lines beyond the advertised price
Villa-scale properties carry higher running costs for pool maintenance, garden upkeep and larger floor areas to heat and cool, which should be factored in alongside the standard purchase costs common to all new build in Cyprus.
- VAT at the standard or reduced rate, or transfer fees on resale property
- Legal and land registry fees
- Pool, garden and larger-property maintenance costs on villa purchases
- Building management fees on coastal apartment schemes with shared facilities
What to check before buying in Ayios Tychonas
Near the archaeological zone, confirm the specific plot's building permit and any restrictions tied to its proximity to Amathus, since these can affect extension potential and, in rare cases, groundworks. Coastal salt exposure is a genuine maintenance factor for anything close to the water — ask what the specification uses for external railings, fixtures and air conditioning units.
On hillside plots, check the retaining structures and drainage the same way as any sloped Limassol site, and confirm what could still be built on land between a hillside unit and the sea before relying on an advertised view.
Rental and resale demand
The coastal strip supports strong short-let demand given the concentration of hotels and beach access, while the village and hillside support a mix of long-term residents and second-home owners with steadier, less seasonal demand. Scarcity from the archaeological zone underpins values on the coastal side specifically.
Who it suits
Buyers wanting a villa with a pool and genuine space rather than an apartment, second-home owners drawn to a village address near five-star hotels, and investors targeting the coastal strip's strong seasonal short-let market.
