5 Nights, 3 Rounds
Perched high above the Mediterranean coastline near Paphos, Aphrodite Hills Resort is one of those places that makes a golf trip feel properly 'holiday' as well. You get a genuine championship test at PGA National Cyprus, then you're back into 5-star comfort with pools, spa time and dinner options that suit everyone in the group.
It's an easy one for UK travellers too, just 15 minutes from Paphos International Airport, and you've got Cyprus' reliable golf weather on your side for most of the year. Add in the on-site Village Square, the Retreat Spa, tennis and padel, plus the Bonemare beach club (May to October), and it's clear why it's regularly talked about as one of the top golf resorts in Europe.
Golf-wise, this isn't a 'holiday track'. PGA National Cyprus has the look and feel of a tour venue, and it hosted the Cyprus Open and Cyprus Showdown in 2020, both €1m events. If you like your course to ask questions off the tee and around the greens, you'll enjoy it. If the group's mixed-ability, the resort facilities do a lot of heavy lifting off the course too. Secret Valley, just 10 minutes away, Elea (20 mins) and Minthis (30 mins) can all be included if you fancy off resort golf.
The 290-room hotel overlooks Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock), and it's clear from the moment you arrive that this is a proper 5-star setup. The resort caters to groups and families through its Holiday Residences, self-catering villas with private pools that sit alongside the main hotel, so whether you're after a golf-focused break or a wider resort experience with the family, Aphrodite Hills has the space and facilities to match.
Who is this for?
Golfers seeking a luxury Mediterranean break with a championship course, extensive resort facilities and year-round playability, plus groups and families wanting self-catering villa options alongside hotel accommodation.
Who is it best for?
Mid-to-low handicappers who want to test themselves on a tour-standard layout, couples combining golf with spa and beach access, and larger groups or families looking for villa-style stays with private pools and full resort amenities.

Spanning the contours of the landscape's two plateaus, Aphrodite Hills is carved through lakes, carob trees and delightful olive groves, all of which are part of its immediate position among the elite of European golf. With a view towards hosting prestigious international professional tournaments, Aphrodite Hills can be set up to test even the finest players, as evidenced when it hosted the prestigious PGA Europro Tour Championship in 2010. However, it is essentially a resort course, and as such the variety of tees ensures that this 18hole golf course also remains playable for the average visitor.
The course spans the magnificent cliff-tops to the south of Paphos, and affords incredible views of the Mediterranean Sea. Robinson has also used this landscape to create a number of awe-inspiring holes; the most notable are the short 7th, at the foot of a gaping ravine, and the nerve-jangling island green at the long closing hole.
The course does justice to both the 5* quality and the natural beauty that are the trademarks of the resort, and should ensure a truly memorable golf holiday at Aphrodite Hills.

The Golf Academy at Aphrodite Hills offers a wide variety of individual and group lessons. Expert PGA Professionals tailor each lesson to individual needs to help improve performance, while assuring a relaxed and enjoyable environment. The Academy has first-class facilities, including a 350-metre double-ended driving range with targets and a variety of short game practice areas. Using the latest technology, experienced resident PGA-qualified Golf Instructors offer expert advice on all aspects of the game of golf. Set in the perfect environment, this is a second-to-none location for learning this wonderful sport.
Aphrodite Hills Resort is home to not only the globally-renowned magnificent 18-hole championship PGA National Cyprus Golf Course, but now also boasts a prestigious PGA National Academy Course; the ideal facility for budding beginners or for more experienced golfers looking to improve and enhance their golfing skills.
The Aphrodite Hills Hotel overlooks Petra tou Romiou, Aphrodite's Rock, and offers 290 guest rooms and suites across a range of configurations. Every room includes a private balcony or terrace with views over the golf course, gardens, communal pools or the Mediterranean Sea, so you're not staring at a car park after 18 holes.
Standard facilities include a deluxe bathroom with separate walk-in bath and shower, bathrobes, beach towels, minibar, safe deposit box, satellite television and full air-conditioning. The hotel's classical Mediterranean design runs through both the façade and interior, maintaining 5-star quality throughout without feeling stuffy or overly formal.
If you're sharing twin rooms for a golf trip, the standard rooms are a solid base, and you're not trekking miles back from the clubhouse after a round. Travelling with non-golfers? Sea-view terraces and easy access to the spa and pools keep everyone happy between rounds. There's plenty of storage for clubs and kit, and early breakfast is available if you've got a dawn tee time.
Room types range from standard doubles to larger suites, all benefiting from the same core amenities and private outdoor space. For groups or families preferring more independence, the resort's Holiday Residences provide self-catering villas with private pools, full kitchens and multiple bedrooms, ideal for longer stays or those wanting a home-from-home base. The villas sit within the resort grounds, so you still have access to all the hotel facilities, restaurants and the golf course without feeling like you're staying off-site.
If you're organising a society trip or a group with mixed abilities and interests, the villa option works particularly well. You can cook breakfast, have a few beers by your own pool in the evening, and still book into the resort restaurants when you fancy a proper meal out. It's that flexibility that makes Aphrodite Hills work for a wider range of groups than your typical golf hotel.
Dining spans twelve restaurants and bars across the resort, so whether it's a quick bite between 9 and 18 or a proper sit-down dinner after a shower and a snooze, you won't be stuck for choice. El Sabor serves light Mexican-inspired dishes during the day, while the Sunset Bar offers live jazz and cocktails in the evening, which is a nice way to wind down after a round.
The Village Square adds seven more venues, including Pithari Tavern for traditional Greek cuisine, Gate to India for classic Indian dishes, and two pubs, Anoi and The Beer Garden, if you're after a pint and something familiar. The Golf Lounge provides a post-round gathering spot, and the Clubhouse Restaurant delivers a 5-star menu blending regional favourites with international classics. It's the sort of place where you can sit down with the group, go through the round hole by hole, and not feel rushed.
The Retreat Spa sits at the heart of the resort, offering 24 treatment rooms plus garden massage huts, many with sea views. Treatments use the luxury Pevonia product range and include specialised hydrotherapy, body wraps, manicures, pedicures and massages. The centrepiece is the Thermae, a hydrotherapy complex built around a central colonnade in the style of Greco-Roman bathing rituals. If you've just walked 18 holes in the heat, it's a very civilised way to recover.
Beyond the spa, the resort includes a tennis academy with four clay courts and five hard courts, two padel tennis courts, a basketball pitch, soccer school and cycling centre. Hotel guests have access to the Bonemare beach club, a private pebbled beach open May to October, plus multiple swimming pools, sauna and spa pool. It's 15 minutes from Paphos and 55 minutes from Larnaca International Airport.
The Village Square serves as the resort's social hub, with bars, à la carte restaurants, a bank, chapel, pharmacy, supermarket and designer boutiques all within walking distance. It's the sort of setup where you can wander down for a coffee, pick up supplies, book a spa treatment and still be back at your room or villa in ten minutes.

The food was great in both buffet and a la carte restaurants, great breakfast too! Only had a few beers so no idea on the drinks but most people seemed to be enjoying. Staff in the bars/restaurants were really nice and friendly

We had an all inclusive option which worked out to be very good value, the hotel was fairly quiet, early February, and a really friendly homely feeling. Not sure it would feel as welcoming of it was busier.

Nice stay but parts of the hotel are becoming tired due to under-investment. Winter mode also meant showers at indoor heated pool were stone cold, as was the cooked breakfast buffet it seemed.

This is a comfortable hotel, albeit getting a little dated now it is very well kept in terms of cleanliness, rooms and beds are large and fairly quiet. We found the allinclusive option drinks to be below expectations especially wine and most of the food bordered on average - avoid Jasmine which was very poor.its a very easy location for golf and the hotel is easy to find too from the airport.

overall a fantastic place lovely friendly staff excellent restaurants very clean and tidy the golf course is immaculate and a real test the only negative is having to get up early every morning to secure a bed around the pool you should not have to do this in a 5* resort However overall a wonderful place for both golfers and non golfers highly recommended for a duel golf/holiday destination We will go back

Very much a family resort, lots of things for kids....more than adults. Golf club across the road from hotel so very convenient. Rooms are in blocks dotted around the resort, very comfy bed and well cleaned every day.

Really fair test of golf, play well and relatively easy - play badly and it can punish you. Super fast green and tricky to read. Green fee is expensive and 5 Euros for 40 balls on the range felt a bit mean..decent facilities though

We had two rounds during our trip, both days were very enjoyable

Course sits on top of a ravine with holes on plateaus either side of the ravine, this means buggies are compulsory. The distance between holes 2 and 3 involve a 1km ride along the buggy path! Course was good but squeezed into the available space. Wouldn’t pay £142 to play this again 🤨
Nina

Because there had been rain in previous weeks we were restricted to buggies on cart paths only, this had a big impact on pace of play. Unfortunately it is a course where buggies are needed because of the long distances between some greens and tees.

Most of things were perfect. The green was a bit too slow. The maintenance work were progressing while we played. Lunch restaurant was very nice. The service at the club storage area was excellent and the people were very kind. We have just enjoyed..

Certainly needed the provided buggies. The course was certainly very different but enjoyable. Greens were quite slow, which was a surprise giving their appearance. Club house and facilities were excellent. The only down side was I let my wife loose in the well stocked pro shop. Bad decision. Over all an excellent day.

Weather was not like last year and we realised that we should come before early November season.

Thankfully this is a buggy course to speed up play, greens best early morning as get plenty walking on later in afternoon. we were unable to complete our first round due to light despite starting before 1pm, there is an absence of marshalls to move on slow play. fairways had been worked on so we didnt see it at its best!!
