Ayia Napa or Larnaca?
Choose Ayia Napa when the beach setting is the main event and guests are happy to stay in a resort area. Choose Larnaca when simpler airport transfers, shorter stays and city access matter more. Protaras can also be an excellent base, but compare the exact drive to any Ayia Napa venue.
Nissi Beach Resort
The resort publishes options ranging from private dining for ten to Taverna Nissi for up to 500 outdoors, with Pelican, Rondavel, Thalassa Terrace and a ballroom between those scales.
Best for: couples who want several real beach-led choices rather than a single ceremony gazebo. Check: accommodation requirements, beach privacy, external-supplier restrictions and the weather relocation plan.
Official wedding page →Adams Beach Hotel
Adams Beach lists St Andrew’s Chapel, a waterfront gazebo, Semeli Gardens, Socrates Ballroom, Victory venue and Vala Beach Club. It publishes menu groupings for celebrations below and above 120 guests.
Best for: couples who want contrasting ceremony and reception styles inside one large resort. Check: which spaces remain private, current capacity layouts and where outdoor music moves later.
Official wedding page →Napa Mermaid Hotel
Napa Mermaid’s official page describes a sea-view marquee, White Linen Patio, indoor conference room, restaurant terrace and cocktail setting, with several spaces specifically positioned for small groups.
Best for: intimate hotel weddings that do not need a vast resort lawn. Check: exact capacities, privacy from hotel operations and the indoor plan.
Official venue page →Napa Plaza Hotel
Napa Plaza confirms civil services can be conducted within the hotel grounds and offers a range of indoor and outdoor spaces with a wedding coordinator.
Best for: couples prioritising central Ayia Napa access over a self-contained beachfront estate. Check: the exact private venue, guest-age policy, noise environment and beach transport if photographs are planned elsewhere.
Official wedding page →Golden Bay Beach Hotel
Golden Bay is a five-star seafront resort that states it is around 15 kilometres from Larnaca International Airport. Its wedding service is presented as individually planned rather than tied to one published formula.
Best for: mixed arrival schedules and a short destination wedding where airport convenience matters. Check: current spaces, capacities, external-supplier policy and reception privacy.

Frequently asked questions
Which airport is closest?
Larnaca International Airport is usually the practical arrival point for Ayia Napa, Protaras and Larnaca. Confirm transfer times for the exact venue and travel date.
Can we have a legally recognised ceremony at the hotel?
Several hotels describe civil ceremonies, but the municipality and venue must confirm the date, officiant and precise approved location.
Are beach ceremonies private?
Not automatically. Ask who can access the beach, what the venue controls and how photographs are handled during busy periods.
