Aphrodite Hills 5*, Bed and Breakfast, 7 nights, 4 rounds of golf

The magnificent development at the Aphrodite Hills is capped by designer Cabell B. Robinson’s outstanding championship golf course. A painstaking five-year development programme was necessary to realise Robinson’s vision, but the consensus is that it is worth the wait. 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 7th, 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.
