Cyprus has been at the crossroads of many civilisations for millennia. Today it is a magnet for international travellers and discerning buyers seeking a home in the sun on a friendly island renowned for its culture, history and warmth. Holidayers dreaming of an easy-going, eclectic lifestyle need look no further than the five-star Aphrodite Hills Resort, near Paphos in Cyprus. As the name suggests Aphrodite Hills combines the comforts of a contemporary European lifestyle with a rich Cypriot heritage steeped in myth, legend and tradition.

Sporting thrills
Increasing demand for the complete five-star lifestyle package has attracted discerning buyers looking to buy luxury homes built around exclusive spa complexes and championship level golf courses. Set on two elevated plateaus divided by a stunning natural ravine, this remarkable residential and leisure community has much to offer. Spread over 234 hectares, Aphrodite Hills is the first integrated golf, leisure and real estate development in Cyprus.

The 18-hole golf course is of championship standard and its seventh hole has become a talking point among golfers worldwide. The signature par three demands an accurate shot across the ravine, making it one of Europe’s most spectacular drives.

Furthermore the resort’s own award winning spa, The Retreat, was described by Conde Nast Traveller as being in the world’s top ten, whilst its tennis academy will see it rank among the best places to learn and play, already ranked in Europe’s Top 10 Tennis Resorts by ACE magazine.
