Aphrodite Hills Resort

Aphrodite Hills is a five-star resort at Kouklia, near Paphos, close to the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite. It is a big, self-contained place of 578 acres, with a hotel, a Village Square of restaurants and bars, an 18-hole championship golf course and a PGA National golf academy, so couples get plenty of choice in one place.

The hotel has 290 rooms and suites, some with swim-up access and some with a private pool, and the resort adds around 150 villas and apartments. Wedding spaces run from a gazebo for 25 to a ballroom for 450, so the same resort suits a small ceremony or a large family wedding.

St Catherine's Chapel, an Orthodox chapel at the centre of the resort, seats around 40 to 50 inside with about 100 more on the terrace, and hosts Orthodox, Anglican, Catholic and civil ceremonies. Eleonas Gazebo suits 25 and Eleonas Waterfall up to 80, while the Secret Garden, with jasmine and a water feature, seats 80 for dinner. For a big night, the Morpheas Ballroom seats up to 450 and the Golf Clubhouse Terrace up to 300 for dinner looking up to the hills. The Village Square Terrace takes 500 for drinks over the Mediterranean. Ask the team about the music curfew.

Most guests can stay on site, in hotel rooms with swim-up or private pool access, or in the resort's villas and apartments, which suit families and groups who want more space.

The Retreat Spa, the golf course, tennis and padel courts, two kids clubs and 21 places to eat and drink across the hotel and Village Square keep everyone busy. The hotel's operator gives Paphos International Airport as about a 25 minute drive, with private transfers, taxis and car hire easy to arrange. Ask the team whether a group block is possible for your dates and how villa guests join the wedding plans.
