Coral Beach Hotel Wedding Photography, Coral Bay
The Coral Beach Hotel & Resort is one of the most relaxed beachfront wedding venues in the Paphos area, sitting on its own sandy bay at the quieter northern end of Coral Bay. For UK couples wanting a five-star resort wedding with the sea on the doorstep — somewhere guests can settle in for a few days and the whole celebration unfolds in one place — it is a natural choice. As Paphos wedding photographers who have worked across this coast for more than fifteen years, we love the variety the resort gives you in a single day, and the warm, golden light that pours over Coral Bay each evening. If you are still weighing up the area, our guide to getting married in Paphos sets out the wider picture, and you can see how we cover beachfront celebrations across our portfolio.
About the venue
The Coral Beach Hotel & Resort sits at the quieter end of Coral Bay, a few kilometres north of Paphos town. The hotel has its own sandy bay — uncommon for this stretch of coast — so ceremonies on the beach are a genuine option rather than just a marketing line.
Inside the grounds you've got landscaped gardens for the ceremony, a wide terrace for drinks and a ballroom that can flex up or down depending on guest numbers. The dedicated weddings team handles the day-of choreography.
Why we love the Coral Beach Hotel
Coral Bay has the kind of warm light that wedding photographers spend their careers chasing — long, soft, golden, and the cliffs to the north of the bay catch it beautifully late in the day. The shoulder seasons bring out this light best, so it is worth reading our notes on the best time to get married in Cyprus before you fix a date.
We shot Charlotte and Nathan's wedding here and the variety the venue offered — beach, gardens, terrace, ballroom — meant we never had to repeat a setup.
Our approach to Cyprus wedding photography
At Beziique we believe great Cyprus wedding photography goes far beyond technical skill. It is about creating unforgettable experiences and timeless, beautiful pieces of art that capture every moment of your day.
Our style is documentary and emotional — we work quietly in the background, catching the real laughter, the quiet glances and the moments you didn't even know were happening, rather than marshalling you through endless posed shots. At a resort like the Coral Beach Hotel, where the beach, the gardens and the terrace all sit close together, that approach lets the day breathe and lets you actually enjoy it. If you would like a similar beachfront feel elsewhere in the area, the Laura Beach Hotel is another resort we photograph regularly, the cliffside Elysium offers a more polished take nearby, and our overview of Cyprus beach wedding venues compares the options along this coast.
Get in touch
No matter where you are in the world, we would love to hear from you soon. If the Coral Beach Hotel sounds like your kind of day, do get in touch — tell us your date and your plans, and we will talk you through how we would cover it. As a starting point it helps to choose your Paphos wedding photographer early, as the best resorts and the best dates book up well ahead.

Can we have our ceremony on the beach or at our villa?
Yes. A symbolic ceremony or blessing can be held anywhere you like — a beach, a garden, a clifftop, a private villa or a vineyard — because it isn't tied to the legal paperwork. If you want your actual legal wedding outdoors, many licensed venues can host the civil ceremony too; your planner will confirm what's possible at your chosen spot. Either way, Cyprus's beaches and landscapes make a breathtaking backdrop.
When is the best time of year to get married in Cyprus?
The most popular months are May–June and September–October, when temperatures sit around a comfortable 20–26°C and the light is soft and golden — ideal for photography. July and August are the hottest (often 32°C and above), so we recommend later-afternoon and sunset ceremonies in high summer. The shoulder seasons give the best light, while winter is the cheapest and quietest time to marry in Cyprus if you want an intimate, low-cost celebration.
How soon will we get our wedding photos?
You'll receive a set of sneak-peek images within the first days after your wedding, so you have something beautiful to share while the memories are fresh. Your full, hand-edited gallery is then delivered in approximately 6–10 weeks. Every image is individually edited in our signature documentary style — we never cut corners on the part that lasts a lifetime.
How long do we have to be in Cyprus before the wedding?
You need to be in Cyprus for a minimum of one clear working day before your ceremony. In practice most couples arrive a few days early to settle in and meet their planner. If you are short on time, a Special Licence (which carries an extra fee) lets you marry within roughly three business days of applying. You apply to the local Marriage Officer at the town hall of the district where you are marrying.
