Property in Cyprus

Posts Tagged ‘spa’

A year round destination for golf, Cyprus is experiencing a beautiful September, which will allow you to combine the best of two worlds – golf and relaxing in the sun.  In September, it is hot, but not too hot, so you can indulge in your favourite sport at Minthis Hills (www.minthishills.com), stretch out on the beach, swim in the sparkling blue sea, eat at your favourite restaurant al fresco and enjoy a romantic glass of champagne on a balcony watching the sun set.  And later on, you will see thousands of stars in the sky, shining brighter and more clearly than you usually see back home.

Villa Harmonia, just one of the stunning villa designs at Minthis Hills

Minthis Hills is well on the way to becoming a top flight golf course with all the upgrades that have been done and the golf properties that are available have already been awarded No 1 in Europe for architecture.  These designs by Woods Bagot,stand out from the crowd and have all the small luxurious touches you would expect from what is a very exclusive resort.

At Minthis Hills (www.minthishills.com), we try to keep abreast of the latest competitions .  The results have come through for the Pairs – Pick your Partner Competition, which took place on 18/8/2010 at Minthis Hills:

1^st Winner           Alan Colquhoun – Tom Bestford               45 pts

3^rd                         Jim McBeth – Gary Owens                           44 pts

It must have been quite hot, but I believe there was a bit of a breeze as well, which helped , as well as the height above sea level.

Congratulations to the winners and to everyone who took part, we look forward to seeing you at the next competition.  Good luck!

Cyprus properties are now competing against the best in the world, with Minthis Hills winning 5 stars in two very competitive categories in the Europe & Africa Property Awards 2009 – “Best Golf Development” and “Best Architecture (Multiple Units)” for both the resort and its golf course properties.  Minthis Hills has now been nominated for the International Property Awards as well to compete for the accolade of World’s Best in each category.

Obviously we are very pleased about this news and, to quote Demetris Ashiotis, one of our executive directors, “Minthis Hills is special to us, we live and breathe it.  It is an opportunity to take everything we do to new levels.  It will be the address not just in Cyprus, but the Mediterranean.  We are very proud to have this recognised and it demonstrates our ability to compete at the highest eschelons.”

Designed by Woods Bagot of Emirates Towers fame, our private residences combine traditional and modern features to create a look and feel that possesses universal appeal.  Both the properties and the resort as a whole have been designed to be the epitomy of barefoot luxury.  They bring you close to nature, the views and the wide open spaces and at the same time offer real pampered luxury with 5 star services.  By blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, the architecture is in touch with nature, while the whole design and the finishes exude luxury.  Traditional Cypriot mountain village elements, such local stone and wood and interior courtyards, are a fundamental part of the design, while facilitating energy efficiency by encouraging cross-ventilation to provide natural cooling during Summer.

Part of the renowned International Property Awards, the European Property Awards have been running for 15 years.  The judging panel included Eric Pickles MP, chairman of the Conservative Party, Ben Wood, industry head property markets of Google UK; Peter Bolton King, group chief executive of the National Federation of Property Professionals; Imtiaz Farookhi, chief executive of the National House Building Council; Christopher Hall, president elect of FIABCI; Wilhelm Harnish, Master Builders of Australia (MBA); Thijis Stoffer, International Consortium of Real Estate Agents Association (ICREA); Helen Shield, editor-in-chief of International Homes Luxury Collection magazine and Gillian Farr, head of design of Laura Ashley Home.
