Set in Kyrenia on the northern coast of the island, the five-star resort combines a purpose-built casino environment with full resort infrastructure, making it a natural host for the growing European poker circuit. Its status as a recurring WPT stop has confirmed Chamada as a serious tournament venue with a proven track record of handling large international fields.

The Player Experience

Chamada offers a compact, self-contained tournament environment well suited to multi-day festival formats. Between sessions, players have access to the beach club, spa, multiple pools, and a beachfront bar that hosts live entertainment on weekends. The all-inclusive option covers dining and drinks across the resort’s restaurants and bars, keeping the focus firmly on the poker. A shuttle service runs daily to Kyrenia town centre, giving players easy access to the harbour and local attractions when the schedule allows.

The venue has hosted multiple editions of the World Poker Tour Cyprus festival, with WPT Cyprus Championship and WPT Prime Cyprus Championship both confirmed at Chamada for the upcoming season, cementing its position as the island’s leading tournament destination.
