Palm Beach Hotel Wedding Photography, Larnaca
The Palm Beach Hotel sits right on the sand on the eastern edge of Larnaca, a short drive from the airport and the buzz of the seafront. It is one of those easy, unfussy beachfront settings that suits couples who want their wedding to feel like a proper holiday rather than a formal production — toes in the sand, a warm breeze off the bay, and the kind of long golden evenings the Cyprus coast does so well. We are Nick and Aimie Wild, the documentary wedding photographers behind Beziique, and while we have not yet photographed a wedding here, it is exactly the sort of relaxed, light-filled venue we would love to capture for a couple.
This page is a forward-looking introduction to the Palm Beach Hotel as a wedding setting, written for UK couples weighing up Larnaca for their day. If it speaks to you, we would be delighted to talk it through and, if it is the right fit, to be the photographers who tell the story of your wedding here.
About Palm Beach Hotel
The Palm Beach Hotel is a long-established beachfront hotel on Larnaca Bay, set directly on the seafront with the Mediterranean as its constant backdrop. Its appeal for weddings is its straightforwardness: a generous stretch of sand, palm-shaded gardens, terraces that catch the late light, and the sea a few steps from wherever you choose to say your vows. It is the sort of place where the setting does much of the work, leaving you free to relax into the day.
Because it functions as a full hotel rather than a dedicated wedding estate, it is well suited to couples who want their guests close at hand for the whole trip — somewhere to gather for breakfast, drift down to the beach in the afternoon, and reconvene for the celebration without anyone having to drive. That ease matters enormously at a destination wedding, where the days either side of the ceremony are part of the experience.
Larnaca itself adds to the draw. The hotel is only a few minutes from Larnaca International Airport, which keeps travel simple for guests arriving from the UK, and close to the old town, the palm-lined Finikoudes promenade and a string of tavernas and beach bars. For a beachfront wedding that keeps everything within easy reach, it is a genuinely practical choice. You can see how it sits among the island's other coastal options in our guide to Cyprus beach wedding venues.
A wedding setting we'd love to photograph
What draws us to a venue like this is the light and the looseness. A beachfront wedding gives you that long, soft golden hour as the sun drops over the bay, water turning from blue to amber, and that is when our documentary style really comes alive — quiet, unposed moments caught as they happen, with the sea doing the heavy lifting in the background. We would love the chance to photograph a Palm Beach Hotel wedding from the first nervous getting-ready moments through to the last barefoot dance on the terrace.
Our approach is to stay out of the way and let the day breathe. We do not choreograph or interrupt; we watch for the glance between you during the ceremony, the laughter as confetti scatters in the breeze, the grandparents finding their seats, the toast that catches everyone off guard. A relaxed beach setting is the perfect canvas for that kind of honest, emotional storytelling, and we would shape the day's photography around the natural rhythm of the venue and the changing coastal light.
Aimie is also a wedding singer, so we understand a celebration from both sides of the lens — the technical craft of capturing it and the feeling of being right in the middle of it. Over fifteen years and more than a thousand weddings across Cyprus and beyond, that dual perspective has taught us where the real moments tend to live. If you would like a sense of how we see weddings, our portfolio shows the documentary style we would bring to Larnaca, and you are always welcome to get in touch to talk about your plans.
Getting married in Larnaca
Larnaca is one of the most convenient places in Cyprus for a UK destination wedding, largely because of the airport on its doorstep. Guests can land and be at the hotel within minutes, which takes a lot of the friction out of bringing family and friends along — particularly helpful for older relatives or anyone travelling with young children. The town blends a working Cypriot character with a long sandy seafront, so there is plenty for guests to enjoy in the days around the wedding.
The region offers a real mix of settings beyond the beach itself, from the historic core around the Church of Saint Lazarus to the salt lake and its flamingos in the cooler months. Most couples marrying here choose a civil or symbolic ceremony, and a local planner can guide you through the practicalities; our wider notes for UK couples in our complete guide to getting married in Cyprus cover the legal essentials, timing and budgeting in detail. For more on the area specifically, our guide to getting married in Larnaca is a good starting point.
If you are still choosing your photographer for the area, we would love to be considered. You can read more about working with us as your Larnaca wedding photographer, and whenever you are ready, do get in touch — we would be glad to hear about your wedding at the Palm Beach Hotel and how we might capture it for you.
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 far is Cyprus to fly from the UK?
Cyprus is roughly a 4.5-hour direct flight from the UK, with regular services into both Paphos (PFO) and Larnaca (LCA) airports. That short-haul distance is one of the reasons Cyprus is so popular for UK destination weddings — it's easy for guests of all ages to join you, with no long-haul jet lag.
