Elite clubs
This category is extremely difficult to define in Ayia Napa.
Nightclubs of the island are distinguished by their character. Luxury is a relative term — there can be both students and the very wealthy in the same nightclub.
The room is divided into different clubs and VIP dance zones. The main difference is in the cost of beverages in the VIP area; tables already include a certain amount of beverage value. That is, you have to pay for at least a bottle of the club’s premium alcohol. Even if the table is designed for 6-8 guests, the number is not limited.
In an “elite” establishment there are more stringent requirements on dress code and security. The difference is also evident in the quality of drinks. In the elite clubs in Cyprus you can find a wide selection of the most expensive and exclusive alcoholic beverages.
Interest clubs
Interest clubs in Cyprus are designed for users with different musical tastes. Traditional theme parties are dedicated to, for example, Greek music and RnB, trance, house, retro and disco.
Most of the Cypriot nightlife caters to the average musical taste and the DJ’s sets contain the main popular music styles. Modern commercial music is the main feature of almost all the nightclubs on the island.
Yet there are several places that cater to certain musical preferences. There are places in Limassol, Nicosia and Larnaca which play only rock, retro, and Greek or electronic music, and to cater to everyone, some nightclubs in Ayia Napa have several rooms that represent different musical styles.
There aren’t any pronounced gay clubs in Cyprus although, of course, you can find places – usually bars, favoured by sexual minorities.
