Olea Residences Villas, Peyia, Paphos

Pafilia is one of Cyprus's largest private property developers. Founded in 1977 and owner-managed by the Eliades family, it is best known for ONE Limassol — one of Europe's tallest residential seafront towers — and the Minthis golf and lifestyle resort in the Paphos hills.

Paphos (Pafos) is the capital of Cyprus's south-west coast, a Mediterranean city where mythology and modern living overlap: the mosaic-rich Kato Paphos Archaeological Park and the Tombs of the Kings are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and legend puts the birthplace of Aphrodite just down the shore at Petra tou Romiou. Tourism runs deep — Paphos International Airport handled around 3 million passengers in 2025 and is among Europe's fastest-growing regional airports — but the city is no longer only a resort. A large British, German and wider European expat community has turned inland districts such as Universal into year-round residential markets with steady tenant demand. For foreign buyers the framework is straightforward: any nationality can hold freehold title, registered with the Land Registry (non-EU buyers get routine Council of Ministers approval), and a qualifying new-build purchase from EUR 300,000 opens Cyprus permanent residency. English is widely spoken, the legal system is English common-law based, and the currency is the euro.
