Hidden Gem Alert: Visit This Greek-Inspired Beach In Byblos

Perched on a secluded shore along the tranquil coastline in Byblos, Ayla is yet another stunning beach destination that has popped up in Lebanon this season.

P.S: It’s free access.


The beautiful resort looks like something straight out of a Mykonian scene with its all-white elegant decor and mighty goddess statue.

Aside from the mythology-inspired interior, you’ll completely fall in love with the soothing sounds of the waves crashing on the quaintly tucked away shore.


And to add a little more zen to your day, Ayla is home to a giant swing set right in the sea, where you’ll be able to sway your worries with your feet in the water.

But that’s not all, because aside from its immaculate interior and serene ambiance, Ayla boasts an affordable food menu and elaborate cocktails to keep things fresh.


Fans of salmon will rejoice over the salmon sliders and salmon gravlax salad, and the truffle-obsessed will drool over the gnocchi. And for that extra tropical touch, you can’t go wrong with Ayla’s signature Barbados cocktail – a sinfully good mixture of rum, grapefruit, cinnamon, and absinthe.



If you’re keen on staying after sunset hours, Ayla welcomes night owls with its vibrant beach parties that will keep your feet moving all night long.


And just because Ayla’s scenery is magical as it gets, this hidden gem also turns into a dream-like wedding venue! Amazing, right? Who doesn’t want to get hitched by the beach?

So what are you waiting for? Seize every second of summer and head to Ayla.
