Staff WriterAphrodite Hills Resort has secured the title of Cyprus’ Best Golf Hotel at the 2025 World Golf Awards, and Aphrodite Hills Resort didn’t just win—it reminded the golf world exactly why it’s long been one of Europe’s elite sporting escapes.
The accolade arrives at a time when the resort is ploughing forward with a sweeping investment programme built to lift every inch of the guest experience.
For a venue already boasting one of the most dramatic settings in the Mediterranean, this new phase of upgrades reads like a masterplan for golfers who want the full works: better food, better accommodation, better tech, better practice… and yes, even better bunkers.
The restaurants and dedicated food-and-beverage outlets have undergone a facelift, supported by new outdoor furniture and refreshed apartments and villas suited equally to quick weekend escapes or full-blown extended stays.
It’s a resort polishing the details, but not losing sight of what matters most: making life easy the moment a guest steps through the door.
And that starts before anyone takes a swing. The resort’s new Starter Hut—opened this summer beside the first tee of PGA National Cyprus—is a showstopper. Stylish welcome area, café, panoramic terrace… the sort of place that makes you feel like your opening drive should be televised.
The practice facilities are going through their own evolution too. The upgraded academy now features Cyprus’s first Trackman range, delivering proper data-driven practice along with skill games and tailored coaching for every level.
Work is already underway on a two-storey academy building that will house a reception and retail zone, two swing rooms upstairs and a covered base for 28 practice bays, each one fitted with full Trackman technology. If you can’t improve your game here, your problem isn’t the equipment.
Out on the course, the acclaimed Cabell B. Robinson layout is getting attention where golfers appreciate it most: the bunkers. Every single one is being rebuilt to improve consistency and elevate presentation across all 18 holes.
The push doesn’t stop with golf. Beyond the fairways, a new Sports Hub is set to open in spring 2026, becoming the beating heart of the resort’s racquet sports operation.
Expect a boutique retail space with a modern country-club feel, stocked with leading tennis and padel brands, along with upgraded changing facilities to match.
Miguel Girbes, Director of Golf & Sports at Aphrodite Hills Resort, summed up the moment perfectly: “The award comes at a defining moment for Aphrodite Hills Resort, as it embarks on a far-reaching investment programme designed to elevate every aspect of the guest experience.
The multi-phase project encompasses extensive upgrades to the hotel, spa, restaurants and leisure amenities, ensuring the resort continues to set the benchmark for premium hospitality and wellness in Cyprus.”
Perched on a plateau overlooking the fabled birthplace of Aphrodite herself, the resort is far more than a golf stop. It’s a five-star multi-sport destination with a 290-room hotel, championship course, tennis academy, spa complex, dining square, award-winning real estate and enough scenery to make even a thinned 3-iron feel poetic.
For athletes, families, and golf travellers who want a proper blend of luxury, sport and sunshine, Aphrodite Hills isn’t just keeping pace—it’s surging ahead.
