The HaniCypriot Heritage And Luxury Living

The Hani is set in one of the most desirable, elevated locations in what is, without doubt, the most luxurious

lifestyle and leisure resort in Cyprus, Aphrodite Hills. A unique property, steeped in history, it is being sympathetically restored to create a truly elegant

luxury home with all the five star style, comfort and services that are the hallmarks of Aphrodite Hills.

Aphrodite Hills - The Hani

live the Mediterranean lifestyle

The beautiful island of Cyprus, the third largest isle in the Mediterranean, has been a crossroads of European civilisations for millennia. Conquerors and colonisers, traders and travellers have long been attracted to its shores, leaving rich legacies and colourful cultures. The tranquil landscapes are dotted with fascinating ruins, from enigmatic prehistoric settlements to Greek temples, reminders of Ancient Rome, of hard-fought Crusades and the reach of the Venetian empire. Today, Cyprus is a magnet for international travellers and discerning buyers seeking a home in the sun on a friendly island, renowned for its nature, history and welcome.

The tourism and leisure infrastructure is well established

and is set to develop even further with 11 golf courses, four

marinas offering a total of 3,000 berths, theme parks and an

international conference centre all under development.

Cyprus has a long tradition of hospitality and it could be

this warm and friendly nature that ensures visitors return

again and again and often choose to make the island their

permanent home. Living is easy in the long, warm and dry

Mediterranean summer and even in the mild winter, the

temperature rarely dips below 16ºC. It’s the perfect place

for relaxation, but there’s plenty of scope for activities, too:

swimming and water sports in the translucent blue seas are a

pleasure, while the more active can head for the cool Troodos

Mountains, where cycling and hiking trails offer outdoor

adventures. Explore the tranquil landscapes, discovering

archaeological sites, Byzantine churches, sleepy fishing

harbours and pretty little villages with whitewashed and

terracotta houses. Colourful markets sell fruit and vegetables

as fresh as the island air and welcoming restaurants serve

excellent local cuisine, accompanied by fine Cypriot wines.

Close to Aphrodite Hills is the charming harbour town of

Paphos with its lively coffee shops, tavernas, shops and

markets. Like so much of Cyprus, Paphos is rich in history

and culture, and its fascinating archaeological sites have

earned the town a place on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage

list. Climb to the roof of the castle, dating from 1391 and

destroyed by the Venetians, and take in the delightful view

over the harbour with its colourful fishing boats. The famous

Roman mosaics of Paphos, which once decorated lavish villas,

depict scenes from ancient mythology and offer a taste of

the opulent lifestyle enjoyed in Paphos’s earlier days.

Further afield there is so much to explore and discover from

prehistoric settlements, such as Choirokitia dating back to

the seventh century BC, to the buildings and monuments left

by the Greeks, Romans, Crusaders and Venetians. Charming

whitewashed villages and fishing ports are the perfect

place to relax over drinks at a local bar or an al fresco meal

of delectable local cuisine and fine wines from Cyprus’s

vineyards. Then, there is the contrast of the Troodos

Mountains, rising to almost 2,000 metres with a landscape

of cool pine forests, hospitable stone villages, jewel-like

Byzantine churches, and exhilarating mountain walks.

It seems a world away and yet Aphrodite Hills is just 15

minutes’ drive from Paphos International Airport – or 75

minutes from Larnaca – with their regular flights from major

European cities. . An excellent road network makes it easy

to reach any part of the island. What’s more, Cyprus offers

some of the most favourable tax regulations in Europe,

ensuring that buying property is a sound financial and

lifestyle investment.

Aphrodite Hills - The Hani

Set on an elevated plateau divided by a stunning natural ravine, Aphrodite Hills affords beautiful Mediterranean views at every turn.

Aphrodite Hills is set in 234 hectares of spectacular scenery,

where ancient olive and carob trees line verdant fairways

and landscaped gardens, and fragrant herbs perfume the

air. It offers that perfect combination of a genuine lively

community and space to call your own, while the discreet

24-hour security service provides carefree reassurance.

Stylish, individual villas and spacious, elegant apartments

stand in carefully chosen locations to make the most of the

delightful views over the resort and the Mediterranean Sea.

At the heart of the resort is the charming social hub, the

Village Square with its traditional Cypriot architecture and

chapel. Here, owners and visitors can relax in the friendly

taverna and enjoy a wonderful choice of restaurants offering

cuisine from around the globe, including French, Italian and

Oriental. There are boutiques to browse – a mini market and

an interior design store selling furniture and accessories;

along with useful services, including a bank, car rental and a

private, on-call doctor.

The mild Cypriot climate makes sports and leisure activities

a real pleasure and Aphrodite Hills has a wealth of facilities.

Play a few sets at the first class Tennis Academy, go horseback

riding, mountain biking or follow the resort’s nature trails

through the ravine. Children have their own Kids Club and

play areas, and for change of paste, two private beach clubs,

each a short shuttle ride away.

The Zias Beach Club, some 10 minute’s drive away, has a sea

view terrace restaurant, while The Cove is the resort’s own

chic, white retreat on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Aphrodite Hills’ award-winning spa, The Retreat, is a haven of

relaxation and pampering, designed in a unique architectural

style that reflects the classic Baths of Ancient Greek and

Rome. The sophisticated spa experience is highlighted by

the Thermae – a series of rooms and pools of increasing

temperatures; fragrant gardens and splashing fountains; and

outdoor pavilions, where soothing massage comes complete

with blissful Mediterranean views. Professional therapists

offer body and beauty treatments using rejuvenating natural

products, balancing body, mind and spirit.

The 18 championship holes harmonise with the setting,

offering inspiring vistas across the Mediterranean Sea, while

the ‘8th’ has become a talking point among golfers worldwide.

This signature par 7 hole demands an accurate shot across the

ravine, making it one of Europe’s most spectacular drives.

Set at the heart of the resort close to the Village Square, the

five-star InterContinental Aphrodite Hills Resort Hotel offers

some of the most luxurious accommodation on the island. The

290 spacious guest rooms and suites blend Cypriot decorative

touches with every modern convenience and all feature a

private terrace - some with outdoor Jacuzzi or plunge pool.

There is a choice of fine restaurants from the chic informality

of the Ifestos poolside grill and bar to the award-winning

Mesogios for classic Mediterranean cuisine, along with elegant

bars and lounges featuring regular entertainment. Superb

function rooms make it one of the island’s most desirable

venues for business meetings and conferences, banqueting

and memorable weddings.

Aphrodite Hills Resortexclusive, vibrant and yet so relaxing

Aphrodite Hills - The Hani

The Hani is a unique property standing at the highest point of Aphrodite Hills overlooking the scenic ravine and the Mediterranean Sea. Built around 1875, it was formerly an inn and a staging post for cart drivers and their animals on the trail – later a carriage road across the Rantidi Forest – from Limassol to Paphos.

Its construction reflects typical 19th century Cypriot village

style using local stone and timber, and all 10 rooms of the

existing building currently retain their own fireplace and

stable that are so typical of an inn of this period. Outside

the inn, a large stone cistern collected rainwater and close

by the stone threshing floor has been carefully preserved as

a testimony to a traditional way of life.

Now, in keeping with Lanitis Development’s strong

commitment to preserve the heritage of the area, the inn

– or Hani as it is known locally – is being sympathetically

restored and transformed into a spectacular villa in what is

one of the resort’s most desirable locations.

Cypriot heritage and luxury living The Hani

Aphrodite Hills - The Hani

unique, beautiful and stylish The Hani

The unique, single-storey stone villa offers over 400 square metres of living area, approached through an uncommonly spacious entrance hall with a glass-covered stone waterway – a charming feature of the original inn. There is also the added convenience of a guest bathroom.

Understated elegance is key to the generously sized living

room with its stone fireplace and adjoining formal dining

room, featuring an original stone manger. The breakfast and

TV room offers a more intimate ambience for family dining and

relaxation. They say the kitchen is the ‘heart’ of the home and

this one is certainly no exception. The traditional terracotta

flooring contrasts with the beautiful Italian-style units, granite

worktops and splash-backs and, of course, there’s a complete

range of high-quality European kitchen appliances.

There are four spacious bedrooms all with solid timber floors

and en-suite bathrooms featuring ‘Crema Royal’ marble

walls and floors; Bedroom 2 has a bath and shower and two

others have showers. The Master Bedroom en-suite offers

the added luxury of a Hydrobath and twin washbasins, along

with an adjacent sauna and walk-in dressing area.

Lanitis Development’s unparalleled attention to detail is

evident everywhere, from the ‘Comiso’ stone, marble-

bordered floors in the living rooms to the hardwood, double-

glazed windows; the lighting control, complete central

heating and air conditioning systems to the reassurance of

an advanced security system.

At the front of the house, wide terraces and a heated infinity

swimming pool and Jacuzzi are perfectly positioned in

landscaped gardens to take full advantage of the spectacular

views. A stone barbecue and covered pergola are just the

place for alfresco dining on warm Mediterranean evenings.

Electric entrance gates and a fully automatic irrigation

system add to the easy living.

This charming spot where travellers and caravans once

stopped to rest is once again a haven of relaxation, recreated

as a luxury home with all the facilities of Aphrodite Hills on

its doorstep.
