Minthis Resort
Paphos
Minthis Resort is a five-star retreat set high in the hills above Paphos, surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and protected Cypriot countryside. Rather than following the format of a conventional golf hotel, Minthis offers spacious residential-style accommodation across a collection of contemporary suites, private villas and luxury residences, making it particularly appealing to couples and golf groups looking for extra space, privacy and a peaceful setting.
The one and two-bedroom suites sit at the heart of the resort, within walking distance of the golf course, clubhouse, spa and Plateia social square. High ceilings, large windows and private terraces or courtyards make the most of views across the golf course, mountains and Ezousa Valley. Groups wanting more independence can choose two or three-bedroom villas with private courtyards and plunge pools, while the largest three to five-bedroom residences add expansive living areas and private infinity pools.
A major attraction away from the fairways is the Minthis Spa, designed as a destination wellness experience rather than simply a hotel treatment area. Indoor pools and thermal facilities provide an excellent place to recover after golf, while the wider resort offers fitness, tennis, walking and cycling opportunities across its extensive natural surroundings.
Dining centres around two distinct areas. The Clubhouse serves breakfast and lunch overlooking the golf course, while Plateia forms the resort’s social hub, home to Mediterranean restaurant Amaracus, cocktail-focused Bar-M and a dedicated wine cava. Ingredients grown around the estate, including herbs, fruit, honey and olive oil, feature across the menus.
For golfers, the championship Minthis course is directly on site, making stay-and-play breaks particularly easy. The resort also works well for exploring the wider Paphos golf scene and Cyprus beyond the course.
Recent verified guests score Minthis 9.4/10, with particularly strong ratings for cleanliness, comfort, facilities, location and staff. Its quiet hillside position is a large part of the appeal, making Minthis an excellent choice for golfers seeking space, wellness and understated luxury rather than a busy beachfront resort.

About The Area
Limassol is one of Cyprus’ strongest golf holiday bases, combining a lively Mediterranean city with beaches, marina life, wine villages and easy access to several of the island’s main courses. It works especially well for golfers who want more than a resort-only stay: you can play during the day, then head into the city for seafront restaurants, bars, old town streets and coastal walks.
The key local golf development is Limassol Greens, positioned on the western edge of the city. Its 18-hole championship course is designed by Cabell B. Robinson and is set across a natural Mediterranean landscape with feature ponds, olive and carob trees. The course measures around 6,300 metres and gives Limassol a proper city-golf anchor rather than relying only on courses closer to Paphos.
For wider golf variety, Limassol is also well placed for the Cyprus golf corridor between Limassol and Paphos. Aphrodite Hills Golf – PGA National Cyprus sits between Paphos and Limassol and offers an award-winning integrated resort with an 18-hole championship course, also designed by Cabell B. Robinson. Secret Valley Golf Resort is located near Aphrodite’s Rock, around 49km west of Limassol, giving golfers another strong option within a realistic transfer.
Golf in Limassol is best from autumn to spring, especially October to May, when temperatures are more comfortable for walking and sightseeing. Summer can be very hot, so early tee times are the sensible shout.
Off the course, Limassol has loads going for it. The city’s tourism board highlights the marina, old port, beaches, Molos promenade, city centre and nearby wine villages as key areas to explore. That gives golfers a good mix of relaxed seafront evenings, local food, beach time and cultural day trips.
For golfers seeking Cyprus sunshine, city energy, coastal dining and strong access to multiple courses, Limassol is one of the island’s most practical and appealing golf bases.
