Elea Golf Club

Sir Nick Faldo is recognised all over the world for his excellence and attention to detail – whether as a major-winning golfer, a celebrated TV commentator or as a golf course designer. He brought those qualities to Cyprus when he and his team laid out the Elea course.

You won’t be surprised to learn his course demands skill, strategy and precision to score well, but is also sympathetic to the less-skilled golfer, allowing everyone to savour this modern but natural challenge.

Part of the prestigious Elea Estate, it commands a breathtaking location alongside the shimmering eastern Mediterranean and the ancient town of Paphos. Sir Nick’s Mediterranean masterpiece meanders through a captivating landscape that ushers you beyond the frantic pace of modern life.

From the moment you set foot on the 1st tee you are immersed in a true challenge; this is a golfer’s golf course and Elea requires strategy and precision to conquer her. Close to the vibrant town of Paphos, it was voted among the Top 10 New International Golf Courses 2010.

After your round, you can relax in the lavish clubhouse with its outstanding restaurant, five terraces, wine-tasting lounge, event facilities and an exclusive private terrace.

The Eléa Golf Academy features a full-length range with target greens and bunkers, a short-game practice area and a stunning putting green, overlooking the whole course.

Sir Nick Faldo on Elea

“I’ve always respected a design 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 Eléa.”
