Aphrodite Hills Hotel Resort in Cyprus is ready to surprise you this spring, transforming itself into a vibrant sporting retreat.
Imagine lounging under the generous Cypriot sun while knowing that sporting legends like Royce Gracie and Emile Heskey are adding an electrifying twist to your stay.
With its idyllic Mediterranean backdrop, the resort blends top-notch athletic endeavours with luxurious comforts—a combination that promises not just a break, but a memorable adventure.
In a move that’s bound to excite enthusiasts of martial arts and self-defence alike, MMA trailblazer Royce Gracie is gearing up to lead a ju-jitsu and multi-sports camp from April 21 in collaboration with SOHA Retreats.
Over six immersive days, participants will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from Gracie himself, alongside top instructors from Gracie Concepts and the esteemed coach Andy Roberts BJJ.
Priced from €2,276 per person, the “Ultimate Royce Gracie Training Camp in Cyprus” package includes sumptuous accommodation at the resort’s premium hotel, complete with breakfast and airport transfers.
Not one to rest on its laurels, the resort will also play host to a series of coaching sessions led by former Liverpool and England striker Emile Heskey.
Scheduled from May 26 to 30 in partnership with Masters Football UK and Dream Team Soccer School, these sessions invite children aged 5-16 of all abilities to train under a football legend.
With a Masters Football Kit, signed certificate, and medal bundled into the package for €435 per child, budding stars will be inspired by the legacy of a player who netted over 170 goals for club and country.
Miguel Girbes, Director of Golf and Sports at Aphrodite Hills Resort, encapsulated the excitement: “It is a pleasure to welcome Royce Gracie and Emile Heskey, two individuals who have excelled at their chosen sports, to educate and inspire a new generation of athletes.
The experience and wisdom that they have collected across their distinguished careers – together with the coaching expertise of Gracie Concepts, Andy Roberts, Masters Football UK and Dream Team Soccer School – promises to make for an unforgettable experience for every attendee.”
Beyond its sporting events, the resort’s 234-hectare estate offers a veritable playground for athletes and leisure seekers alike.
As the proud home of PGA National Cyprus, it boasts premium facilities not only for golf but also for tennis, padel, football, basketball, and cycling.
Additionally, the Aphrodite Hills Riding Club provides exceptional equestrian experiences, all framed by the breathtaking Cypriot countryside.
Since opening its doors at the turn of the century—with a hotel and Cabell B. Robinson-designed golf course that quickly became a landmark—Aphrodite Hills Hotel Resort has consistently set the bar in European sport and hospitality.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best on the green or eager to witness sporting legends in action, this iconic retreat remains a beacon of excellence.
