The island of Cyprus in the Eastern Mediterranean is one of the oldest civilizations in the area leaving fascinating ancient ruins amongst the sandy beaches and romantic harbors. Its location also means it’s a great option for almost guaranteed sunshine with a longer season than most of Europe. Stay in a luxury villa and enjoy a luxurious home from home with the added bonus of your own pool. Here is our guide to the best luxury resort villa rentals in Cyprus…
Aphrodite Hills In Cyprus
You’ll find the beautiful Aphrodite Hills Resort tucked in the hills above Paphos. There is a hotel as part of the resort or, for true privacy and that home from home experience, stay in the award-winning Villas & Apartments. The infamous Paphos sunshine is never better experienced than when lying on a sandy beach and the waterfront is just a stone’s throw from your villa.
There’s some real flexibility with your villa; choose from 2, 3, 4, or 5 bedrooms. All have fully equipped kitchens and lounge and dining areas. Choose from Junior, Superior, and Elite Villas. Only some of the Junior Villas come with a private pool (a must in my personal opinion!) so I would opt for a Superior Villa which has private gardens as well as pools or ideally the gorgeous Elite Villas which are set in stunning elevated locations for excellent views. The ultimate villas however are the ultra-luxurious Mythos Villas; stunning signature heated swimming pools, some of the most breathtaking views in the entire resort, a deluxe food hamper on arrival, and a daily breakfast basket delivered to your door every morning; they are perfect for discerning travelers.
To really make your holiday, ensure some time for indulgence, where better to do this than at the Retreat Spa. From its position high above the Mediterranean Sea, you can relax and enjoy the spectacular views from the outdoor infinity pool and even the sauna! There is also a fitness center, juice bar, tennis courts and an 18-hole championship golf course. At Aphrodite Hills Resort, they know that if your kids enjoy their holiday then you will too. They have a Crèche, a popular Kids Club, a Soccer School, Tennis Academy and a Golf Academy so whatever their age they’ll be entertained.
Your villa is fully equipped to self-cater, but again, it’s a holiday and in the spirit of true luxury travel, let someone else do the hard work for you. There are 7 high-end restaurants onsite and a range of bars including three pool bars and a lounge bar.
