Sabai means at ease, and that is the idea here.
Spend winter working somewhere that still feels like living.
Sabai is a calm one-bedroom home by the sea in Pafos, designed for a solo remote worker or a couple who want to exchange a grey winter for Mediterranean light, fresh air and a healthier rhythm of life — without compromising on the things you actually need to work.
The apartment sits on the ground floor of the landscaped Faros Beach complex, around five minutes' walk from the sea and coastal path. It is quiet and residential rather than being on a nightlife strip, yet everyday shops, restaurants, cafés and transport are all within easy reach.
Made for remote work
Sabai has fast Cyta fibre internet delivering around 200 Mbps, with a second router in the bedroom to maintain a strong signal throughout the apartment. Wi-Fi also reaches both terraces.
The dining/work table provides a comfortable place for laptops, and an external monitor, laptop stand, keyboard and mouse are available on request. For a couple working remotely, there is space to work together while the strong connection throughout the apartment gives you some separation when calls overlap.
When the working day finishes, close the laptop and you are already somewhere you would normally go on holiday.
A different kind of winter
Start the morning with coffee outside, a run or walk beside the Mediterranean, or some yoga on the terrace. The coastal path is five minutes away, along with grass areas and outdoor bodyweight exercise equipment. The shared pool remains available through the cooler months for anyone who enjoys a brisk swim or cold plunge.
Winter in Cyprus is mild, with plenty of bright days. It is a season for walking, hiking, cycling, eating outside when the weather allows and exploring Pafos without summer's heat or crowds.
Sabai has two outdoor spaces. The poolside terrace catches the morning light and works beautifully for breakfast or lunch. At the other side of the apartment is a more secluded south-facing terrace with a sea view and afternoon sun — our favourite place to finish the day as the sun goes down.
Settle in rather than live from a suitcase
The bedroom has a large 200 × 200 cm superking bed, which can be configured as twins on request, together with blackout blinds. There is heating and air-conditioning in both main rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, washing machine, 55-inch smart TV, laptop-sized safe and keyless self check-in.
Filtered and remineralised drinking water comes directly from a separate kitchen tap, so there is no need to keep buying and carrying bottled water. The kitchen is equipped for proper cooking rather than just preparing holiday snacks, and grocery and food deliveries are readily available.
The harbour and the historic centre of Pafos are easily accessible on foot or by local transport, while the nearby bus network makes it perfectly practical to stay without a car. Free parking is also available close to the complex if you choose to rent one.
Sabai is intentionally calm. Faros Beach is a residential complex with year-round neighbours, making it particularly suited to professionals, couples and slower stays rather than parties.
Stay for a month, stay for the winter, work properly when you need to — and spend the rest of your day beside the Mediterranean.
Utilities
High-speed internet, water and normal electricity usage are included in the Flatio rental price. In accordance with Flatio's standard lease terms, energy consumption up to 15% of the rental price is included. If metered electricity consumption exceeds that allowance, only the eligible excess may be charged separately based on actual meter readings and electricity costs.

Smart home & security
Sabai has been set up as a connected home, with smart systems designed to make a longer stay straightforward and comfortable. Entry is keyless, and the apartment uses Home Assistant to bring together a number of its smart-home functions. This also allows us to provide remote technical support where appropriate, so many minor issues can be checked or resolved without needing a visit to the apartment.
For entertainment, the living room has a 55-inch Smart TV, while the bedroom has a second 43-inch TV with an Amazon Fire TV Stick. Both therefore support streaming services, so you can sign in to your own accounts during your stay.
For property security there is a clearly visible Ring video doorbell at the exterior entrance. It monitors the entrance area only; there are no cameras or recording devices inside Sabai or on either private terrace. The doorbell is primarily there to protect the property when it is unoccupied and can be disabled from inside the apartment during your stay if you prefer.
The smart-home technology is intended to make Sabai easier to live in rather than intrusive — particularly useful for guests staying and working here for several weeks or months.
Parking
There is ample free parking on the street adjacent to the complex and free off street parking is available a five minute walk away close to the Kefalos Beach Village and Elysium Hotels
Hi, I’m Jan. Before moving to Cyprus, I spent 11 years working behind the scenes in luxury hospitality in London, first as part of the pre-opening engineering team as Director of engineering at the Chiltern Firehouse and later as Director of Engineering at The Connaught. That experience taught me that a great stay is often defined by the small things: reliable systems, comfortable lighting and temperature, good connectivity, thoughtful technology and details that simply work without the guest having to think about them. A lot of that thinking has gone into Sabai. These days I work remotely myself - occasionally from Sabai - building automation and technology solutions from Cyprus, so I also understand what makes a longer stay work for a digital nomad. Fast, dependable Wi-Fi and a proper place to work matter, but so does being able to close the laptop and immediately enjoy some sunshine, go for a walk by the sea, exercise, cook properly or relax outside. When I am not in Cyprus I am usually travelling in South East Asia. Sabai brings those two parts of my life together. We wanted to create somewhere that feels less like a short-term rental and more like a thoughtfully run home — comfortable enough to settle into for a month or more, practical enough to work from every day, and in a location that makes it much easier to maintain a healthy balance between work and life. I’m usually nearby and, with Sabai’s smart-home systems and Home Assistant, can often help remotely if something needs attention during your stay.

Every time you rent through Flatio, you're automatically covered by our StayProtection package.
By booking this property, you'll also enjoy extended protection in the form of Stay Benefits - a unique offering backed by AXA! Here's what such packaging includes:
Once you send a booking request, the host is notified that you are interested in their listing. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your booking.
Hosts are mainly interested in the profile of their guest. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your booking will more likely get approved.
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every listing. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the hosts on Flatio.
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the host and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!
If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the host can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.
You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.
How you can cancel a booking varies depending on what stage the booking is in.
Is your booking request still waiting for host approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your booking request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the booking before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the host accepts your booking, the property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved booking and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your booking, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
