Holiday insider tips
Wellness Approach
- Aptly named "The Retreat", this very impressive stand alone spa has a huge range of treatments for pampering, relaxation and light detox. Therapists from Thailand are on hand for authentic Thai Massage and South East Asian treatments for a holistic feel.
Freestyle Spa
- Separate male and female steam rooms are in the changing rooms. There is infinity pool with relaxation area and jet pool/jacuzzi on the upper level with views over the golf course and sea.
Signature Treatment
Full Hamman Ritual A steam in the ornate domed hamman is followed by a body scrub with a loofah and a vigorous full body massage whilst you lie on a heated marble bed. This authentic Middle Eastern treatment will expel toxins, boost blood circulation and exfoliate, leaving you with glowing skin and deep muscle relaxation.
We Love
- The Li'tya treatments that are based on ancient Aboriginal rituals and medicinal practices that span back 40,000 years. The experience is holistic and works on a mind, body and soul level that will leave you wanting to find out more about this fascinating path to wellness.
- The Thermae Experience treatment which is one of the best hydrotherapy and heat circuits we have come across. It includes 5 different heat rooms (steams and saunas) all at different temperatures and a frigidarium (ice grotto). You are guided around each section in a certain order to achieve the best detoxifying and muscle relaxing results. Don't underestimate this as a treatment in its own right - you will see the difference when you lay down in the relaxation room at the end.

Holiday reviews and comments
18th Oct 2011 | By Jennifer
After a stressful year and feeling at a very low ebb I booked this spa break and have come back feeling completely rejuvenated and energised. I spent the mornings on the beach swimming, walking and sunbathing and the afternoons in the spa which worked perfectly for me. The real jewel in the spa's crown is Timmis, the trainer, whose energy, enthusiasm and knowledge were deeply inspiring. He took great care to listen to what I wanted and to tailor an exercise programme to suit my body's needs. He also gave excellent advise on diet and gave me an exercise programme I could follow at home. And somehow or other he made it all fun! Amazingly in such a short time, I lost a few pounds and could already see my body recover its tone. The emphasis he puts on breathing and doing the exercises correctly mean that you get the optimum benefit in a relatively short time. The spa itself was well-designed and relaxing with pretty gardens and infinity pool. The treatments were adequate although 2 were poor, but the efficient and friendly staff bent over backwards to put things right. The hotel is a large resort hotel so rather chain-y and impersonal. But the staff were excellent as was the food. Wellbeing as always super-efficient, friendly and helpful.

I just came back from a wonderful 1 week holiday and much needed break at Aphrodite Hills. The package was well put together with Pilates/Powerplate workout in the morning with Timis followed by spa treatment, lunch, lounging by the pool, another workout and if I really wanted to indulge, another spa treatment. Timis is a fantastic personal trainer - lots of fun and definitely pushes you. Timis takes the time to explain the why and the how of each exercise which I really appreciated. He's also on morning TV every week! I felt fabulous and re-energised after a week in Cyprus and am definitely looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to unwind, relax but also feel good about yourself and get fit.

After a few months away from exercise for health reasons I was looking forward to getting back to activity as well as looking for some time to relax- I was not diasspointed. George and Timis set out an exercise plan which was exactly what I was looking for and tailored very much to my particlar needs. In just 5 days I felt back in shape and back to my usual self. The work outs with Timis were challenging but the time flew by because they were so much fun. Each workout was followed by a spa treatment and light lunch at the spa and then an afternoon of relaxation. everyting was well organised and planned which made for the perfect stress free holiday. I recommend the full board healthy eating menu- evening meals are in a different one of the hotels restaurants each nice and were all delicious.

I booked this particular holiday as after a pretty stressful year I was in need of sun and rejuvenation. I also wanted to kick start an exercise programme but as I am not a gym fan i wanted something low impact which would help tone me up. I really enjoyed my week at The Spa at Aphrodite Hills. George the spa director was a charming person who seemed very genuine and Timis the personal trainer was absolutely lovely. Timis is also something of a national celebrity as he has a dailly feature on Cypriot breakfast TV as their execise guru. So you will be in very good hands. He is extremely approachable and makes exercise seem fun and informative. After my daily work out I then had a wonderful massage to look forward to - the location of this spa is fabulous. It has a beautiful swimming pool area which was fantastic as it was so quiet and relaxing - no kids allowed in the spa. I also had a lovely healthy lunch at the spa's restaurant which is very informal. Everyone I came nto contact during my time there at the gym and spa was really friendly, non intrusive and very professional. I would wholeheartedly recommend this break to anyone no matter what their age or level of fitness was as it will be tailored to suit your specific needs.
