ABOUT
City of Dreams Mediterranean is a five-star resort in Limassol, setting a new benchmark for sports tourism. With 500 luxury rooms, world-class leisure facilities, fine dining, entertainment and a grand casino, the resort combines five-star hospitality with exceptional sporting experiences.
At the heart of its offering is the Marcos Baghdatis Tennis Academy, opened in 2024 by the former world number 8 and Grand Slam finalist. The academy launched with a star-studded event featuring Andre Agassi and is now a tennis excellence hub.
With 12 state-of-the-art hard courts built to ATP specifications, a clubhouse, a pro shop and three new padel courts coming in December, it provides tailored coaching programmes for all ages and abilities, from grassroots to aspiring professionals, delivering over 11,000 sessions annually.
Its 2025 calendar included five tournaments and major showcases, including the first anniversary celebration featuring Marat Safin, Dinara Safina and Karolina Šprem alongside Marcos Baghdatis, attracting 1000+ spectators. Guests at the resort can enjoy ‘Serve and Stay’ packages, combining luxury accommodation with tennis coaching from elite-level trainers.
Marcos said: “The tennis academy is a dream come true. I wanted to blend world-class tennis training with the luxury and warmth that Cyprus is known for and to recreate the strong sense of ‘family’ and community that first inspired me to play. My goal is to give the next generation access to the top facilities while also creating a destination that attracts players from around the world. With the resort’s incredible amenities, we offer something truly unique.”
Premier golf partnerships see longstanding links with Aphrodite Hills, Secret Valley Golf Resort, Elea Golf Club, Minthis Resort and a collaboration with Limassol Greens, a brand-new 18-hole championship course adjacent to the resort. These allow guests to enjoy luxury golf alongside world-class accommodation. Resort facilities appeal to business travellers and sports tourists.
The resort’s sporting appeal extends further with its WaveRider offering exhilarating surfing tuition as part of the largest pool complex in Cyprus. The Adventure Park, a 5000m² outdoor experience with Zipline Coaster, Climbing Wall, Mini-Golf and Family Ropes Course, provides challenges for all ages. City of Dreams is a summer sports and family activity hub. The resort also boasts an in-house Sports Centre with squash, tennis and pickleball.
A wide-reaching programme of events attracts global sporting personalities. A Champions League Final screening featured football legend Oliver Kahn alongside Marcos Baghdatis, Olympian Milan Trajkovic and professional footballer Pierros Soteriou - an unforgettable VIP fan experience. MCP 15, the international mixed martial arts event at the resort, brought together top fighters from over 16 countries, including Russia, the UAE, Norway and the UK. The resort has also hosted multiple professional football clubs from Europe and the Middle East.
With a comprehensive sporting calendar, world-class facilities and links to global sports icons, City of Dreams offers a unique combination of sport, luxury and leisure. Tennis and championship golf to adrenaline-pumping water sports and activities, it caters to all ages and abilities, positioning Cyprus as a premier destination for sports tourism.
