APHRODITE HILLS 5*

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, but it is essentially a resort course, and as such the variety of tees ensures that it remains playable for the average visitor.

The course spans the magnificent cliff-tops to the south of Paphos, and affords incredible views of the coastline. Robinson has also used this landscape to create a number of awe-inspiring holes; the most notable are the short 7^th, at the foot of a gaping ravine, and the nerve-jangling island green at the long closing hole.

This superb golf 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.

Overlooking the Petra tou Romiou (Aphrodite's Rock), the Intercontinental Aphrodite Hills Resort Hotel is a deluxe 5* destination, offering the finest accommodation at the heart of one of Europe's most exclusive new resorts. Perfectly located for the myriad of golf, leisure and wellness activities, the hotel boasts 290 luxurious guest rooms and suites, with a comprehensive range to suit every demand.

Every room benefits from a private balcony or terrace, from which you can overlook the golf course, the lovely gardens, the pool or the coastline below, while the standard room facilities are outstanding; every room has a deluxe bathroom with separate walk-in bath and shower, bathrobes, a mini-bar, safe deposit box, dataport telephones, satellite television and full air-conditioning.

Both the hotel's façade and interior are decorated in a classical Mediterranean style, and the 5* quality is evident from first to last at Aphrodite Hills, which has quickly emerged as a premier luxury golf holiday destination.

The Retreat Spa is located at the heart of the resort, and is a haven of calm, serenity and tranquility, where the treatments are pure indulgence. In conjunction with the luxury Pevonia product range, the spa offers everything from specialised hydrotherapy, manicures and pedicures and massages.

There are a total of 24 treatment rooms, as well as garden massage huts, many of which overlook the sea. At the centre of the Retreat is the Thermae; a throwback to the Greco-Roman ritual of daily bathing, the Thermae is an incredible hydrotherapy complex built around a great central colonnade.

Aphrodite Hills has four championship standard floodlit tennis courts, while there are plans to build a multi-court tournament arena. Hotel guests can take advantage of The Cove, a private pebbled beach accessed by shuttle, and the resort's amazing swimming pools, as well as the sauna and spa pool.

The focal point of the resort is the Village Square; with bars and restaurants, it the perfect meeting place, and also has a bank, chapel, pharmacy, market and a number of designer boutiques.

The Golf Lounge is a stunning bar and restaurant, where golfers can get together to dissect the day's events.

The Clubhouse Restaurant serves a 5* menu, packed full of regional favourites and international classics.

The Pegasus Kids Club will ensure that 4 to 14 year-olds will have a memorable and sociable holiday, with a great range of activities.
