There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes with planning a big UK wedding: the guest list negotiations, the venue that is booked eighteen months out, the British weather forecast nobody trusts. It is little wonder that more couples are looking further afield, and the travel industry has clearly noticed — Jet2holidays has just launched dedicated beach wedding packages in Cyprus for summer 2026,
expanding its Jet2Weddings programme to nearly forty wedding-friendly hotels across the island.
What is striking is not just the scale of that expansion, but the kind of wedding couples are actually asking for. Industry trend reports for 2026 point away from the identikit, one-day affair and towards something slower and more personal: sunset vow exchanges, longer cocktail hours, and multi-day celebrations shared with the people who matter most rather than a room full of acquaintances.
Food is playing a bigger part in that shift too, with couples treating the wedding breakfast as a genuine centrepiece rather than an afterthought — something that suits the Mediterranean approach to entertaining, built around long tables, good produce and relaxed alfresco dining, far better than a hotel function room ever could.
Locations matter enormously to that feeling, and this is where Cyprus has a real advantage. Areas like Protaras, Ayia Napa and the Cape Greco National Park headland offer dramatic cliffs, turquoise water and genuine natural beauty as a backdrop, rather than a marquee dressed up to look like the outdoors.
The Cupule sits within that Cape Greco setting, offering an award-winning wedding venue for couples wanting exactly the kind of slower, more personal destination celebration that 2026’s couples are asking for. If a Cyprus wedding venue at Cape Greco sounds like the setting you have been picturing, it is worth taking a look — thecupule.com/.
