Perched on the cliff-tops south of Paphos, Aphrodite Hills is one of those resort courses that actually lives up to the scenery. Right, I'll admit it, I'm a sucker for a proper risk-reward par 3 with a view, and Cabell B. Robinson gives you a couple you won't forget in a hurry. The designer spent five years shaping this dramatic layout through olive groves, carob trees and natural ravines, carving a course that works both as a championship test and a holiday round.
The course earned PGA National status in 2017, then followed up with European Golf Resort of the Year in 2018 and recognition from IAGTO as Best Golf Resort in Europe. In 2020, Aphrodite Hills hosted back-to-back tournaments, the Cyprus Open and Cyprus Showdown, each carrying a €1 million prize fund and putting the course firmly on the radar for tour-level golf. The layout can stretch to test professionals, yet multiple tee options keep it accessible and genuinely enjoyable for resort guests of all abilities.
Beyond the golf, the resort offers luxury self-catered villas, townhouses and apartments, a Greco-Roman spa, tennis academy, horse riding school, beach club and a lively Village Square packed with restaurants, bars and shops. It's a destination that works for serious golfers who want a proper championship course with stunning coastal scenery, and for families and larger groups who want flexibility, space and resort amenities without the formality of a hotel.
