Venue Spotlight: Minthis
Historic Monastery, Luxe Seclusion & Golf‑Course Panoramas — A Photographer’s Paradise
Perched high above Paphos in the rolling hills of Tsada, Minthis artfully fuses a 12th‑century monastery with five‑star resort luxury, creating an extraordinary canvas for wedding photography. From ancient stone archways to contemporary reception pavilions, every corner tells a story—and the on‑site 18‑hole championship golf course adds sweeping fairway vistas that elevate each image.
A Fusion of Old & New
Minthis’s restored monastery buildings—vaulted ceilings, exposed stone walls, cloistered courtyards—sit alongside modern terraces, glass‑walled pavilions, and manicured gardens. This dramatic juxtaposition allows for richly textured, fine‑art portraits that honor both heritage and contemporary design.
Golden Hour Over Vineyards & Fairways
Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, Minthis delivers breathtaking sunset views (west‑facing) that flood the venue in cinematic light. Beyond the vines, the golf course weaves through the estate—its rolling greens and signature island‑green holes make for unique, wide‑angle backdrops and playful couple portraits at golden hour.
Intimate Corners & Grand Spaces
From an emotional first look in the monastery courtyard to an elegant reception beneath the stars in the modern pavilion, Minthis offers a diversity of spaces within steps of each other. Winding pathways through olive trees and manicured fairways invite serene portrait walks, while the expansive lawns provide room for group shots and spontaneous dance‑floor moments.
