Sumptuous grandeur emanates from every corner of this villa. The entry courtyard sets the scene, with water spouting from a marble horse into the decorative pool. Step inside and you’ll know you are somewhere special. We love the dining room, with its double height ceiling and curved walls. There are five lavish bedrooms, each fitted with an en suite, as well as bathrobes, slippers, and toiletries. The main bedroom’s bathroom is bedecked in marble, while doors lead out onto a beautiful terrace overlooking the trees. The house is surrounded by fragrant plants and flowers and a manicured lawn, while the terrace in the back leads down to the vast heated swimming pool, where you can swim lengths or simply cool off after lying on a deck chair in the sun. Come evening, fire up the barbecue and enjoy an alfresco dinner at the outdoor table, before hopping into the jacuzzi and watching the stars come out. The house is part of an affluent villa complex in the Aphrodite Hills, and you’ll benefit from all sorts of included extras that are factored into the price. Your host will arrange complimentary transfer to and from the airport for all your guests. If... you’re travelling with kids, they can enjoy free, unlimited access to the Kids’ Club, while you enjoy a spa treatment at the Retreat Spa, or squeeze in a workout at the gym. No need to worry about going to the shops each morning: a breakfast hamper will be delivered each morning to your doorstep, including pastries, fresh bread, orange juice, fruit, and a daily newspaper of your preference. You’ll also be provided with a welcome parcel, that includes all the kitchen, laundry, and cooking essentials, as well as luxuries like smoked salmon, macaroons, and premium champagne. This is the type of holiday where you needn’t lift a finger, and everything you could want is on your doorstep – our idea of paradise.

Local guide
About Aphrodite Hills
Named for the Greek goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite Hills exceeds expectations. It's a luxurious resort sprawled out across the rugged Cypriot coastline, offering picturesque views of the Mediterranean Sea. Golfers flock here for the world-class golf course, while adrenaline junkies try out different watersports at the beach. The long sandy shore appeals to sun-worshippers too. Aphrodite's Rock is only a mile from the resort, and you can easily explore the archaeological sites of the nearby town of Paphos if you feel like venturing further afield – the Tomb of the Kings is a must-see.
