In the wine producing region of Paphos Cyprus, where ancient landscapes meet contemporary design, Minthis Golf Club continues to prove that exceptional golf and environmental responsibility can and should go hand in hand.

For the third consecutive time, Minthis has been awarded GEO Certified® status, reaffirming its long-term commitment to sustainability, environmental stewardship and responsible operations. As the first golf course in Cyprus to receive the internationally recognised certification, and still the only club in the country to achieve a third re-certification, Minthis stands as a clear benchmark for what modern golf development can achieve.

Granted by the GEO Foundation (Golf Environment Organization), a global organisation that sets international sustainability standards for golf facilities worldwide, the GEO Certified® ecolabel is awarded to facilities that meet the highest global standards across nature conservation, resource efficiency, climate action and community engagement. It is not simply a badge of honour, but an ongoing commitment to measurable progress and transparent accountability.

Here, sustainability is not a standalone initiative. It is part of the landscape itself.

Native planting enhances and protects biodiversity. Habitat preservation safeguards local ecosystems. Water is managed with precision and care. Energy use and chemical inputs are continually reduced. And meaningful engagement with the surrounding community ensures that environmental responsibility extends beyond the fairways.

Set within a designated Natura 2000 protected landscape, Minthis embraces the responsibility that comes with operating in such a significant natural environment, balancing playability, beauty and conservation with equal consideration.

Achieving GEO Certified® status for a third time reflects the sustained dedication of the entire Minthis team and reinforces the Club’s position as a leader in sustainable golf, not only in Cyprus but across the region.

Looking ahead, Minthis remains committed to evolving its sustainability programme in line with international best practice, continuing to raise the bar for what responsible golf can look like in the Mediterranean.
