3 Cyprus, the ideal location in which to own an overseas home. Destination: Cyprus The island of Cyprus lies at the very heart of the Mediterranean, ideally situated at the cross-roads between East and West. Inhabited and invaded for over 10,000 years, Cyprus is steeped in history; there is an abundant and well-preserved legacy from earlier civilizations, with excellent examples of Roman villas, Byzantine churches and medieval castles. Many locations on the island are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Inevitably such a rich tapestry of inhabitants has created a unique blend of cultural influences, so evident today in the island s distinctive architecture, costume and cuisine. Cyprus has a large international community with English a commonly spoken language owing to the fact that it was a British colony, gaining its independence in 1960 and joining the Commonwealth a year later. Today the country is member of the European Union and boasts one of the most thriving economies in the region. This economic stability, the developed infrastructure, a comfortable year round climate, easy access from European cities, stretches of clean sandy beaches, beautiful and varied terrain (including the picturesque pine-clad Troodos Mountains), a low crime rate, welcoming and hospitable people, excellent dining opportunities and lively nightlife, all combine to make Cyprus the ideal location in which to own an overseas home. Little wonder that so many foreign residents have chosen to purchase here.

4 Most of the villages have excellent tavernas where the locals eat. Paphos - Home to the ultimate mediterranean lifestyle Although the Paphos region has been seducing visitors and inspiring poets, artists and writers for thousands of years, it is certainly not celebrated only for its past. Today, there is an abundance of activities to suit all tastes and ages, whether your preference is sporting, wellbeing or cultural. Cyprus enjoys sunshine throughout the year and is therefore ideal for outdoor activities, no more so than in Paphos. Whether you want to just relax on the beaches or to play golf, tennis, water sports, scuba diving, sailing, canoeing, paragliding, jeep safari, quad biking, horse riding, bowling or even go karting, the choices and facilities are almost limitless. Between January and March you can ski in the Troodos mountains. There aren t many places in the world where you can enjoy winter sports then, in less than an hour, be relaxing on a beach. Paphos is home to a large water park and there are several colourful festivals spanning the calendar, offering opera, drama, wine, music even kite flying! With a wide array of cuisine to suit all palates, Paphos has also earned a reputation as a gourmet destination. In addition to the wide array of restaurants and bars in the town, most of the villages have excellent tavernas where the locals eat and there are several vineyards selling some excellent locally-grown wines. There are a number of highly acclaimed spas in the region, providing a comprehensive range of therapies and treatments. Shopping is excellent, with many malls being developed offering designer and high street brands, as well as the local markets and traditional souvenir shops selling local handicrafts.

7 The standard we strive for is perfection: every property is designed and finished to impeccable standards. The Residences To find the right balance I had to look beyond shapes and surfaces to the essence of the Mediterranean, to convey the sense of light and space that is so deeply rooted in the Cypriot lifestyle. Stratis Papodopolous, Principal Architect, Ergo7 The architects understood that the success of this new residential community needed to be based upon a key element: achieving the correct balance between the demands of modern luxury living, a beautiful unspoiled landscape and a rich, deep rooted heritage and culture. Whether you choose to purchase a garden villa or villa, you will find that the finish, planning and thought that has gone into your new home is exemplary. The first phase of residential properties consists of a small number of wellpositioned three, four and five bedroom luxury villas and two and three bedroom garden villas (townhouses), both of which include lower ground floor levels and benefitting from exceptional panoramic views across the golf course to the Mediterranean beyond. Our commitment to low building density evokes feelings of space and tranquillity. Once completed there will be approximately 300 residential properties on the Estate. There is a building density ratio of approximately 20%, ensuring that all properties will benefit from open space. The standard we strive for is perfection: every property is designed and finished to impeccable standards, with a wide range of bespoke options to make your home uniquely yours.

8 Each villa has a large vanishing-edge swimming pool, set in private landscaped gardens. Exteriors Balconies, roof gardens and terraces have been a feature of the Mediterranean home for centuries. At Eléa, these are thoughtfully incorporated in every property to provide light, natural shade and uninterrupted views of the golf course and the sea beyond. The stylish kitchen inside is complemented by a comfortable al fresco cooking and dining area. Each villa has a large vanishing-edge swimming pool, set in private landscaped gardens with traditional indigenous species of plants, adding to your sense of a relaxing retreat. Parking is either underground or in a covered pergola.

9 Inside each residence you will see the architect s vision - an intimacy with the environment. Interiors Whilst a sense of space and light reflects the most traditional features of a Cypriot home, the design and finish are to the most exacting, modern standards and only the highest quality natural materials, including oak, Iroko wood and locally cut stone, are used. Inside each residence you will see how the architect s vision - an intimacy with the environment - has become reality. The residences have been interior designed by London based MKV Design. Examples of contemporary touches in the four and five bedroom villas include a lift between the three spacious levels, panoramic folding glass doors to maximise the beautiful views, and a multi-purpose room at the lower level which can be adapted for your needs, for example as a gym or a media room. Each property is fitted with a smart-home automation system and climate control, and there is even under floor heating for the occasional cooler day.

11 Sir Nick Faldo s Mediterranean masterpiece. Golf At the heart of Eléa Estate, our highly acclaimed Golf Club with its stunning Clubhouse offers world-class golf in a spectacular setting. The challenging Par 71 course, designed by Sir Nick Faldo, incorporates numerous natural features and boasts stunning views of the Mediterranean. Eléa Estate will help to put Cyprus firmly on the map as a leading golf destination and ensure it becomes a destination of choice for serious golfers across the globe. One of the world s most exciting new golf courses... Golf World One of the top 10 best new international golf courses... Golf.com The Golf Academy The Eléa Golf Academy is specifically tailored to all forms of teaching, constructive practice sessions and focused learning, providing excellent facilities for golfers to work on their game. There are five defined practice areas for golfers to practice their long and short games, a greenside bunker, a chipping green and a putting green. If golfers require a more detailed study of their swing technique, they can take advantage of our state-of-the-art video equipment, offering up-to-date visual analysis.

12 The fascinating and picturesque layout circulates through clusters of mature carob and olive trees. The Course Created by a golfing legend and maintained devotedly by our dedicated team, Eléa Golf Club is already attracting wide international acclaim and is set to become a leading Mediterranean golfing destination. The par 71, 18-hole course, which has been fully operational since opening in October 2010, was thoughtfully designed by Sir Nick Faldo to ensure that it is not only sympathetic with the stunning setting but also to challenge golfers of all abilities. The fascinating and picturesque layout circulates through clusters of mature carob and olive trees, while the dramatic outcrops of weathered limestone strike a bold contrast with the deep greens of the paspalum grass fairways and semi-roughs. In a carefully planned ecological design, individual holes are fringed by undisturbed swathes of colourful native garrigue flora. This stunning visual effect invokes a truly Mediterranean feel, while retaining the ethos of a traditional and dramatic experience for the golfer. When designing a golf course, what I hope I can offer players more than anything is an experience that will live long in the memory. I also hope to draw on my experience during 30 years as a professional golfer in which time I ve played on some of the world s best-loved courses. What I ve always respected more than anything else is a design that requires a certain amount of strategic interaction, a course that will pose challenges and ask questions of a player. Of course, we also want our golf to be played in a natural environment that fits perfectly with its surroundings perhaps even enhance them. These are the principles that have driven our design at the Eléa Golf Club. Sir Nick Faldo
