With careful attention to every detail, the hotel provides outstanding conference and banquet facilities, luxurious accommodation, natural warmth and hospitality, exceptional service and eclectic dining opportunities while offering guests the additional benefits of an award winning, fully integrated Golf, Tennis and Spa Resort. A visit to The Retreat Aphrodite Hills is the ultimate in top-to-toe pampering for body and mind. From the moment you enter the cool serenity of The Retreat's monastic interior you are impressed by its lush and tranquil surroundings, superb facilities and an expert team of beauty therapists tend to your every need. The golf course was designed by Cabell Robinson and was officially opened on 2nd November 2002. Surrounded by protected forest, the golf course comprises 2 plateaux separated by a dramatic ravine, which gives players the unique opportunity to tee off across it at certain points.
