Tennis New for 2012, the Aphrodite Tennis Academy has partnered with the Annabel Croft Tennis Academy to offer professional tennis instructors to help you improve your game on 9 floodlit courts (4 clay and 5 hard courts), as well as specific dates when Annabel herself will be leading the coaching (at additional cost).

Insider Tips

• Tennis rackets can be provided by the Tennis Academy
• The Tennis Academy at Aphrodite Hills is the best in Cyprus and coaching programmes and tournaments are overseen by resident Professional Nic Papadopoulo, as well as specific coaching weeks being hosted by the leading tennis player and former No.1,  Annabel Croft
• With 4 floodlit hard courts, Aphrodite Hills' tennis centre boasts fabulous views over the coast as well as Olympic class
• The horse-riding is recommended as you will get to explore the mountainside behind the resort, access undiscovered paths and be able to enjoy stunning views.

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.
