Scott Dunn: ANYTHING ELSE IS JUST A HOLIDAY

These are the smallest and simplest accommodation type at Aphrodite Hills that Scott Dunn recommends. There is a choice of 2 or 3 bedroomed semi-detached junior villas with private pools that are fairly uniform in style. The junior villas located in Theseus village that are positioned in the front row with uninterrupted seaviews offer the best combination for smaller families that are happy to receive compact accommodation, walking distance from the village square.

Please note that fitting a cot in the bedrooms is possible but it is tight. The garden is not fenced and leads onto the natural habitat which can be steep in parts.

The superior villas is the accommodation type that varies the most in size, style, location, privacy and level of comfort. Each property is completely different. They range from 3 to 5 bedrooms with private pool.

Please speak to one of our sales consultants that will be able to provide more specific information on the superior villas that Scott Dunn recommends.

The Elite villa category offers some of the best properties in the resort and is the category that Scott Dunn recommends the most. Each property is unique but is designed with a more luxurios home from home feel with all the comforts you would expect. The Elite villas range in size from 3 to 5 bedrooms each with a large outdoor pool and good sized garden.

For more information on our Elite villas, please contact our sales team.

There is currently only 1 property that meets the highest standards required for the Mythos villa category. This is Villa Ouranos which has 5 bedrooms (the 5th bedroom has separate access) and the most amazing uninterrupted views down the ravine to the sea beyond. Despite the lack of grass area, the terraces and infinity pool more than make up for the outside living space available for all to enjoy.

For more information on Villa Ouranos, please contact our sales team.

A 130 metre gorge dividing tees at the par 3, the 7th hole is the perfect opportunity to put your skills to the test.

Aphrodite Hills is the ideal destination for walking, biking and running. Bordered on two sides by a natural ravine, it is virtually unequalled in offering numerous, little-frequented trails through unspoilt countryside within moments of your accommodation. The hills surrounding the Resort offer some excellent walking and jogging routes, with well-marked paths and many stunning views. Five kilometres from the Resort, through the village of Kouklia, you can climb to the summit of the local hills. This is a relatively easy, uphill walk, and in 45 minutes you will be rewarded with an unbeatable Mediterranean panorama and be able to see the green of Aphrodite Hills Golf Courses from a completely different perspective. There are a variety of routes for running and trekking, suitable for a wide range of ages and levels of fitness, all easily accessible from Aphrodite Hills.

Mountain Bike Riding Biking Fun for all the Family.

Cycling is one of the healthiest and most exciting ways to discover Aphrodite Hills Resort and its surroundings, from the green golf courses to the stunning cliffs at the Cove overlooking the Mediterranean. The terrain varies from fairly easy roads with some hills within Aphrodite Hills Resort or the miles of flat, easy routes around Aphrodites Rock, to challenging off-road routes and some serious gradients in the hills surrounding the Resort.

Aphrodite Hills offers a selection of mountain bikes for all levels of experience, as well as road bikes, which are great for visiting nearby villages or beaches. Bikes can be hired for as little as one day to as long as a week or more. Helmets, locks and maps are all provided. There are also junior bikes for all ages, with or without stabilisers. For toddlers aged 18 months and over, a child trailer or seat can be attached to an adult's bike.

The Retreat Spa is located on an elevated part of the Resort above the Mediterranean Sea, with spectacular views from the outdoor pool and even the sauna. State-of-the-art facilities and an expert team of therapists provide the ultimate top-to-toe pampering for the mind, body and soul.

The treatment rooms offer a variety of options from private to couple’s rooms, to specialised hydrotherapy, spa manicure and pedicure rooms, Thai rooms and outdoor massage pavilions. Treatments include facial and body treatments, as well as massage and aromatherapy.

Guests also have the opportunity to indulge in the Spa’s ‘thermae’ facilities a detoxifying treatment involving a series of heat rooms progressively increasing in temperature, tempered with cooling hydro showers or ice shavings.

The perfect place to end your session is with a nutritional smoothie, healthy tonic or herbal tea from the Spa Restaurant and Juice Bar, whilst absorbing the relaxing surroundings of the Spa’s sun deck or fragranced gardens.
