AMBER HILL
AN EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION OF
BESPOKE VILLAS OVERLOOKING PAFOS

THE LOCATION
AMBER HILL is an exclusive development of ten bespoke villas each with infinity pools on large landscaped plots set in a breathtaking hillside location with panoramic sea views overlooking the ancient coastal town of Pafos in Cyprus. A magical location set around a tranquil cul-de-sac where nothing disturbs the calm. This beautiful place is almost Alpine during early spring where an abundance of wild flowers begin to flourish. The elevated position also affords a refreshing climate above the coastal summer humidity. Some 340 days of sunshine a year make for long, easy summers and amiable winters. Each villa is absolutely unique but consistent and harmonious within the contemporary design scheme, creating a collection of light and spacious homes. Indoor and outdoor spaces have been seamlessly integrated to facilitate a truly authentic Mediterranean style of living. The villas are carefully positioned so that residents can enjoy epic views of the sea and surrounding countryside, maximum personal privacy and design that blends perfectly within the natural environment. Situated between the traditional Cypriot villages of Tala and Tsada in the foothills above Pafos, AMBER HILL enjoys a tranquil location with all essential amenities close by. Just five minutes from AMBER HILL are the villages of Tala and Tsada. Tala has a pretty village square bustling with bistros, family-run restaurants and convenience stores stocked with fresh local produce. There are European-style delicatessens and patisseries nearby selling exotic and international goods. Tsada is smaller and traditionally Cypriot, slower than Tala, but breakfast provisions and old-style tavernas are readily accessible, as is the warmth of Cypriot hospitality. AMBER HILL is perfectly placed for golfers. The Championship Golf Course at Tsada, Minthis Hills, being the nearest with two further established golf courses also nearby. Heading further inland many local wineries can be found but nearest are those at the quaint villages of Kathikas, Panayia and Stroumbi where regular tastings of the excellent local wines are to be recommended. With regards local antiquities there are the remarkable mosaics of the Roman House of Dionysus and the ancient Tombs of the Kings to explore. Scattered around Pafos are Byzantine churches, Venetian fortresses, medieval Crusader castles and ancient Roman ruins.
THE VILLAS
The creation of AMBER HILL has been the result of a vision to create an environment for those who desire a modern lifestyle in a setting of fine craftsmanship and elegant detail. A hand picked team of established professionals have been carefully assembled to encompass both traditional values and modern influences. All associated contractors enjoy excellent reputations within the Cyprus construction industry and collectively bring a wealth of experience from all business sectors. The elevated land, which lies on undulating downhill slopes, offers breath-taking southerly and easterly sea views towards the Pafos coast. The design maximizes the development potential of the site by creating ten bespoke villas with a distinct sense of identity, strong elevational treatment and landscaping. The innovative and contemporary floor plans with angled geometric lines and distinctive exteriors create a unique lifestyle for comfortable living. Architecturally, AMBER HILL is vibrant and distinct; imaginatively designed to maximize space, privacy and comfort. The grounds of each villa are both beautifully landscaped and spacious allowing life to be spent in the Sun. Outdoor and indoor spaces flow effortlessly from one to another in order to achieve the relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle that is elusive to those from colder climes. AMBER HILL blends rejuvenation and luxury to create a way of life that is both revitalizing and utterly indulgent. The fabulous infinity pools provide sparkling focal points together with sun terraces and tranquil gardens. Outdoor living spaces include generous shaded terraces, large stonework barbeques and serene Zen-like contemporary water features. Semi-mature fruit trees such as lemon, orange, olive, almond, fig and pomegranate can also be incorporated into your landscaping scheme. Swim in a saltwater pool against a swim-jet or revive yourself with a hydro-massage in a luxurious spa and with pool heating you can swim all year round. Unwind, rejuvenate and renew your sense of well-being. This is what Mediterranean living is all about – relaxing, dreaming and rediscovering a zest for life. Round off another perfect day gazing across the twilight vista of the Mediterranean as the twinkling lights of Pafos begin to illuminate, or perhaps consider having an impromptu party with friends and dine alfresco.
