Set in the heart of the wine producing region of Paphos, the Minthis Music Festival 2025 concluded on Sunday night following five extraordinary evenings of music beneath the stars. With its blend of world-class performance, architectural beauty, and the atmospheric charm of the Minthis amphitheatre, the festival offered guests an immersive journey of sound, soul, and setting.
Each night brought a different theme to life — from the classical brilliance of La Scala and cinematic elegance of Oscar winner Rachel Portman to lyrical voice of Massimo Giordano flamenco fire of Pablo Sainz- Villegas and talented Sonic Music artists, Niklas Liepe and Raphaela Gromes — each evening offered the audience a rare opportunity to experience diverse expressions of musical excellence, many for the first time in Cyprus.
A Place Where Music Meets the Landscape
Surrounded by ancient olive groves and with the backdrop of the Troodos mountains, the open air amphitheatre at Minthis provided an inspired natural stage — a space where music could truly breathe. The festival embraced the resort’s ethos of balance and beauty, combining nature, architecture, and artistry into a cohesive and deeply moving experience.
Guests were welcomed with curated hospitality: fine Cypriot wines, elegant canapés, and the quiet luxury that defines life at Minthis. As the sun set each evening, the amphitheatre came alive with intimate moments that linger in memory — not just performances, but shared experiences.
Looking Ahead to 2026: Expanding the Vision
Following the success of this year’s sold-out evenings, Minthis and their partners Laimtee Art are proud to announce that the Music Festival will return in summer 2026 — with a refined and expanded programme.
This evolution reflects Minthis’s commitment to cultivating an enduring cultural platform — a celebration not only of music, but of thoughtful living and a more immersive environment.
“Minthis is a sanctuary — for nature, for ideas, for art,” said Evangelia Eliadou, Pafilia’s Executive Director. “The music festival is an expression of that spirit. We’re not only looking back on a remarkable 2025 — we’re building something even more meaningful for the future.”
The Minthis Music Festival 2025 would not have been possible without the generous support of its founding partners and sponsors. Sincere thanks go to Pafilia, for its sponsorship, its visionary stewardship of Minthis and its ongoing investment in the arts, LaimTee Art, for its creative direction and dedication to cultural excellence, Bottles, for elevating the experience through its elegant hospitality partnerships.
Their shared belief in the transformative power of music made this year’s festival not only possible — but unforgettable.
