Family Holidays at Aphrodite Hills Cyprus

If you’re dreaming of a sunshine-filled family escape that ticks the boxes for babies and toddlers and still gives grown-ups a chance to relax, Aphrodite Hills Resort in Cyprus is a brilliant option to have on your radar.

Located on the south-west coast of the island, just a short drive from Paphos airport, this five-star resort offers luxury with a laid-back, family-first twist. It’s the kind of place where you can sip your morning coffee on the terrace while getting ready for the day, with your toddler pottering in the garden or dipping their toes in the pool nearby with you.

Family villas & apartments – space, privacy, and toddler-friendly extras

The self-catering villas and apartments here are ideal for families travelling with babies and toddlers. Stylish, spacious and thoughtfully laid out, they offer the flexibility of home with that lovely “we’re on holiday” feeling.

There’s something for every setup – from cosy two-bedroom villas and apartments to larger properties perfect for family groups or holidays with friends. Some villas even have enclosed private pools, offering a safer setup for families with little ones.

All properties featured on Holiday Tots come with essential baby and toddler gear, making them a great base to explore the wider resort and surrounding area.

What’s onsite – village vibes, sweet shops & sunshine-filled fun

Aphrodite Hills feels more like a Mediterranean village than a typical resort. There’s a central square with cafés, restaurants, a supermarket, and boutique shops – plus one of the newest additions: Hans & Gretel, a whimsical sweet shop serving chimney cakes, bubble waffles and handmade lollies.

Dining is easy too, with several family-friendly restaurants offering kids’ menus, highchairs and flexible options to suit all tastes.

A full-service spa, plus a children’s spa experience for mini pampering
Walking trails through olive groves and Mediterranean pines
Tennis Academy with coaching and court hire
Golf Academy and 18-hole PGA-national course – a major highlight for adults
The Aphrodite Hills Riding Club, offering private lessons, pony club sessions, trail rides and a large outdoor arena – all set in beautiful woodland

Beach day – Bonamare Beach

Just 15 km from the resort is Bonamare Beach – a privately owned stretch of sand and pebbles fringed by crystal-clear water. Open from May to October, it has a restaurant, bar, showers and changing rooms. A fab spot for a family day out, with shallow entry points ideal for toddlers.

For the kids – clubs, camps, and playtime galore

Aphrodite Hills is designed with families in mind – and it shows:

Crèche and Kids’ Club – Babies from 6 months can join the crèche while older toddlers enjoy crafts, treasure hunts and games
Football Coaching Camps – For kids aged 5–16, run by football legends, complete with full kits, medals and signed certificates
Playgrounds and open spaces – Safe areas to run, climb, splash and explore, all within easy reach of your villa

Family touches & magical memories

Every Friday in June and July, the resort hosts its Summer Music Festival, free for all guests. It’s a relaxed evening of live music with special guest artists under the stars – the perfect way to wrap up a day of spa treats, countryside walks and sweet shop delights.

This year’s Summer Music Festival will be lighting up the Village Square every Friday from July 4th to August 29th at 20:30, with bonus midweek shows for even more summer fun. Enjoy live performances from local and international artists, across a variety of genres – from acoustic sessions and jazz nights to upbeat pop and classic rock. Pair it all with flavourful dining, refreshing drinks, and the unforgettable sunsets of the resort.

Getting there – easy travel from the UK

Cyprus is around a 4.5-hour flight from the UK, and Paphos Airport is just 15 minutes from the resort. You can pre-book a transfer or hire a car – easy, even when travelling with little ones and luggage in tow.
