What makes a Cyprus golf holiday so special?
Although Cyprus is home to fewer courses than other European countries, it shouldn’t be overlooked as it certainly values quality over quantity. When you book a Cyprus golf holiday you can expect a tremendous golfing climate combined with great views and most importantly, incredible courses.
The PGA National at Aphrodite Hills remains the crowning jewel of golf in Cyprus. The course is a testament to the work the country has put into its courses. Golfers will especially love the immaculate fairways, excellent facilities, and stunning panoramic views of the crystal-clear ocean below.
Another Golfbreaks customer favourite is the Secret Valley Golf Club. Opened in 1996, this inland course is surrounded by nature, including native Cyprus vegetation and historic rock formations. This combined with the phenomenal views of the Mediterranean Sea will make for a unique and memorable round on your Cyprus golf holiday.
Soak up the sun & play outstanding courses
Cyprus is the ideal destination for a golf trip given the pristine courses and perfect year-round subtropical climate. If you’re looking for some winter sun, average temperatures in Cyprus reach over double figures in January and February, while temperatures in other months rarely exceed 30˚C. The exciting destination of Paphos is also easily accessible being just a four-and-a-half-hour flight from numerous UK airports.
While planning your golf trip, ensure you include a round at the impressive Elea Golf Club designed by major champion Sir Nick Faldo. The course only opened in 2010 but has since earned high praise, with Golf World Magazine ranking it as "one of the world’s most exciting new golf courses".
If you enjoy layouts which incorporate the natural landscape into their design, then the championship course at Minthis Golf Club is a perfect choice. Expect a demanding round looping past ancient groves, complemented with breathtaking views of the Paphos Troodos Mountains.
The range of great golf to be played in Cyprus, combined with the surrounding beauty and ideal climate creates the perfect setting for a golf break.

Choosing the right place to stay is important to any trip. The choice of excellent accommodation options is endless in Cyprus, ranging from self-catered villas to five-star luxury resorts and hotels.
For a five-star retreat, Aphrodite Hills Hotel provides the perfect luxurious setting. Set in the Paphos countryside, you can expect modern accommodation alongside a range of excellent facilities. Olympic Lagoon Resort is another popular venue with stunning beachfront views. The hotel offers an all-inclusive experience that allows guests to relax and unwind without the stress of food and drink options.
