Aphrodite Hills Hotel – Where Golf, Pleasure and Mediterranean Luxury Unite
Catarina Firchau
The Aphrodite Hills Hotel by Atlantica is far more than just a place for golf – it is a sanctuary where sunshine, sport, and style blend into perfect harmony. Perched high above Cyprus’ southern coast, it offers a panorama that leaves even seasoned travelers in awe: lush fairways, the shimmering Mediterranean, and the scent of pine trees carried by the warm breeze. From the very first moment, it’s clear why this resort ranks among Europe’s top golf destinations – and why it consistently receives outstanding reviews.
The 18-hole championship course, designed by Cabell B. Robinson, is considered the heart of the resort and is often described by guests as “challenging yet breathtakingly beautiful.” The famous par-3 hole over a deep gorge provides unforgettable moments – not only for passionate golfers but also for those who simply want to take in the endless blue views. Visitors praise the immaculate maintenance of the course, the expansive greens, and the tranquil atmosphere that turns each round into a meditative experience.
After the game comes the second passion: pleasure. With seven restaurants, Aphrodite Hills Hotel combines culinary diversity with fine dining. From Mediterranean freshness to Asian creations – the cuisine is often described in reviews as “first-class and surprisingly varied.” The buffet restaurant Eleonas stands out for its exceptional selection and quality, while guests seeking a more elegant setting enjoy an exquisite dinner and a spectacular sunset at the à la carte Stone Grill – an experience that “perfectly completes the day,” as guests often note.
The accommodations themselves reflect the resort’s philosophy: space, serenity, and sophistication. The spacious rooms and suites offer either sea views, private terraces, or direct pool access. Travelers describe them as “oases of relaxation,” praising the cleanliness, comfortable beds, and stylish décor. For those seeking more privacy, the villas with private gardens or infinity pools provide an extra touch of exclusivity.
Another highlight is the award-winning Retreat Spa, often called “world-class” in guest reviews. Here, Cypriot traditions meet modern wellness artistry: aromatherapy, Ayurvedic rituals, and infinity pools overlooking olive groves create a haven where body and mind can completely unwind. The resort also features a tennis academy, horse riding, and fitness programs – ideal for anyone who values an active lifestyle.
What truly sets the Aphrodite Hills Hotel apart, however, is its service. Guests repeatedly mention the attentive and genuinely warm staff who seem to anticipate every wish before it’s spoken. This blend of professionalism and heartfelt hospitality ensures that visitors feel welcomed and cared for from the very first moment. Even within the resort’s vast grounds, a sense of personal connection is ever-present.
The hotel’s slightly secluded location only adds to its charm – creating a peaceful retreat surrounded by Cypriot nature, where relaxation and indulgence take center stage.
A golf holiday at the Aphrodite Hills Hotel is more than just a trip – it’s an experience that unites sun, sea, and masterful design. Anyone wishing to secure a place at this extraordinary resort for the coming year should book early: demand is high, and once you’ve been here, you’ll immediately understand why.
