Anassa Hotel is widely considered to be the best luxury hotel in Cyprus. Its secluded setting makes it a favourite for celebrities seeking a retreat from the public gaze. The style of Anassa Hotel is chic but not showy. It has the kind of understated elegance you find at the best hotels in the Greek islands. Expect whitewashed walls, surrounding greenery and spacious, sun-filled rooms. The hotel overlooks Takas Bay. Anassa means “queen” in ancient Greek – a fitting name for one of the world’s most prestigious hotels.

Cyprus has made notable progress in LGBTQ+ rights over the past decade, aligning with broader European trends towards equality. Same-sex sexual activity has been legal since 1998, and in 2015, Cyprus introduced civil unions, granting same-sex couples many of the rights afforded to married heterosexual couples. However, same-sex marriage and adoption rights for LGBTQ+ individuals remain unavailable, reflecting ongoing gaps in full equality.
Anti-discrimination protections are robust, covering sexual orientation and gender identity in areas such as employment, education, and public services. However, societal attitudes towards LGBTQ+ individuals can vary significantly across the island, with urban areas like Nicosia, Limassol, and Larnaca generally being more accepting than rural regions, where traditional values still dominate.
Cyprus is home to a small but active LGBTQ+ community, with advocacy groups such as ACCEPT – LGBT Cyprus working to promote awareness, challenge stigma, and advocate for further legal reforms. Events like the annual Cyprus Pride Parade in Nicosia are growing in size and visibility, reflecting increased societal acceptance and support.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, Cyprus offers a mix of historic sites, stunning Mediterranean beaches, and a growing selection of queer-friendly spaces, particularly in its larger cities. While progress is ongoing, the island’s legal advancements and developing LGBTQ+ scene make it an increasingly appealing destination for queer visitors.
