[2] “Stavros tis Minthis”, a twelfth-century monastery, from which the resort derived its name, is located within the grounds and is soon to undergo extensive restoration.

The chapel got its name when invaders forcibly took the monastery and set it alight but one of the monks had the foresight to take the sacred cross and hide it under some mint bushes in the immediate vicinity thereby ensuring its safety.

Stavros Tis Minthis monastery falls under the Metropolis Of Pafos which belongs to the Admin and Holy Synod which forms part of the Church of Cyprus.

The golf course also includes a clubhouse which is due to open to the public in September 2011, an elevated 16 bay driving range, putting, chipping and pitching greens.

Nature trails have already been defined in Minthis Hills and will enhance the already popular European walking route E4 which runs through the heart of the resort.
