Ayia Thekla, ·Adults Only

Ayã Resort, Cyprus — A Brand-New Adults-Only Retreat Above Ayia Thekla Beach

A new adults-only resort above Ayia Thekla Beach — Ayã pairs 48 design-led suites, a striking 3,000m² central pool, and a Greek-and-Cypriot dining concept with one of the quieter corners of Cyprus' southern coast. Ayã Resort opened at the end of April 2026, and it doesn't feel like a property still settling in. It arrives fully formed, with a clear point of view: adults-only, design-led, and built on a stretch of coast that's deliberately calmer than its famous neighbour. It sits above Ayia Thekla, on Cyprus' southeast coast, and it's one of the more interesting new openings on the island this year — not because it's the biggest, but because it isn't trying to be.
