A five-star seafront hotel near Limassol, with a lawn for your vows and a ballroom that parties until 02:00.
The Setting
Amara is a five-star hotel at 95 Amathus Avenue in Agios Tychonas, on the Limassol coast, set above the sea so that every room looks out over the water. It is a modern, polished property rather than a rustic one, and Condé Nast Traveller readers voted it one of Europe's top 25 resorts.
Food is the big draw. The hotel's restaurants include Matsuhisa Limassol, from chef Nobu Matsuhisa, and Ristorante Locatelli, from Giorgio Locatelli, plus Beefbar, and Forbes has written about its culinary standard. There is also the Amara Spa, a supervised children's club and a team of event planners who handle weddings as well as parties.
The day itself
Ceremonies can be held indoors or out. The Events Lawn is the outdoor venue and the Ballroom the indoor one, so most couples marry on the lawn and move inside to party. On the lawn only soft background music is allowed, until 23:00, while the Ballroom runs until 02:00, when the bar also closes.
The hotel can contact the municipality and arrange the paperwork for a legal civil wedding. All food and drink comes from the hotel, including the cake, and an in-house florist works with you on the flowers. Menus are confirmed four weeks ahead, and a tasting is offered once your deposit is paid. Weddings run from 50 to 250 guests. Ask the team about packages.
Where your guests stay
Guests can stay at the hotel, and the couple can ask for a full champagne breakfast in bed the morning after, plus 10% off spa treatments that day. Larger weddings also unlock a complimentary wedding night in one of the Deluxe Sea View Suites. The hotel does not publish its room count, so ask how many rooms it can block and what rate applies.
The spa, the restaurants and the sea keep guests busy around the wedding, and the kids club looks after younger guests. Limassol is along the coast for evenings out. Ask the team about drive times from Larnaca and Paphos airports and how they handle guest transfers.
Plan the ceremony on the lawn and move the party into the Ballroom. The outdoor music curfew is earlier and quieter than indoors, so the Ballroom is where your dancing happens.
Questions couples ask about Amara Hotel
Can we have a legal wedding at Amara?
Yes. The hotel says it will contact the municipality and handle the arrangements. For civil weddings the date and time are confirmed with the Municipality of Limassol.
What time does the music stop?
Outdoors on the Events Lawn, soft background music only until 23:00. Indoors in the Ballroom, music can run until 02:00.
When should we confirm the menu and numbers?
Food and drink choices are due four weeks before the wedding. The final guest count is due three business days before, or a week before if guests choose their main course.
Can we bring our own cake?
No. All food and drink, including the wedding cake, must come from the hotel.
How many guests can the venues hold?
The hotel tells us it hosts weddings for 50 to 250 guests. Ask the team how that splits between the Events Lawn and the Ballroom.
Facts checked against Amara's live website, including its weddings and FAQ page. Guest numbers come from the venue, and room numbers and travel times are not published, so ask the team.
