The night will be followed by DJ Jordie playing Soul, Funk and Mo-town hits:

DJ Jordi is a versatile DJ with a variety of musical tastes. He plays commercial, Dance, House, Urban (R’n'B, Garage, Ragga, Soca, Zouk, African etc), Latin and party music including 70′s / 80′s. After 16 years in London he’s now living in Nicosia where he does one off events at various latin venues.

In 1989 he moved back to London (was born there but left at an early age for South America) where he continued DJing and that’s where the extension to his musical tastes began.

He has played for promotions or as a resident DJ at the following London Clubs: Samantha’s, Le Scandale, Club 79, Down Mexico Way, Bar Madrid, Havana Salsa!, El Barco Latino, Fuego, Mbibe, Plastic People, Mambo Inn, Belushi’s, Bass Clef, and Q Club just to name a few!

The COLUMBIA Beach Resort has an almost idyllic charm with its low-rise buildings and distinctive architecture resembling a typical Cypriot village. Located in the sheltered bay of Pissouri on the Southern coast of Cyprus, this five-star hotel features elegant suites, luxuriously furnished with fabrics and materials that reflect the colours of the landscape, the cliffs and the Mediterranean Sea.

Using local stone, wooden features and creative planting, the Beach Resort stands in harmony with its surroundings, a clever mix of old and new. Lovingly restored terracotta roof tiles, graceful arches and shutters on the windows reflect the influences of traditional Cypriot architecture.

The position of the Resort on a spectacular two kilometre beach and the dense vegetation in the valleys behind the bay is especially magical. Native flora, the flowers and plants that grow in this part of the island, the white cliffs of Cape Aspro to the east of the bay and the vineyards and orchards create a very secluded setting for the hotel. This is emphasised by paved paths shaded by bougainvillaea, jasmine and olive trees in the Resort’s grounds. And the view over the 80 metre-long lagoon style pool and across the beach to the bay is breathtaking!

Fine cuisine is a feature of the COLUMBIA Beach Resort. Chef de cuisine Ioannis Yiakoumides has established this residence as one of the most renowned places to dine in Cyprus, populated by both locals and guests of the Resort.

The COLUMBIA Spa is an award-winning health and fitness centre at the heart of the Beach Resort. Here you will find the latest fitness equipment, numerous exercise classes and the exquisite relaxed ambience of the spa. Manager Victoria Gladunova and her team are on hand to recommend a wide selection of treatments and programmes to promote well-being.

Exclusive, unique, desirable – the 5-star boutique Londa hotel, with its 68 rooms and suites, delights with a perfect combination of contemporary Italian design, Mediterranean lifestyle and exclusive service. Re-opening in June 2005 following extensive refurbishment, the Londa was crowned The Leading Hotel in Cyprus by the prestigious World Travel Awards just two years later.

The Londa’s cool interior is extravagant and yet has a timeless elegance. The use of white marble, neutral colours and clean lines are softened by pieces from the heritage of the island and from the Mediterranean including Cypriot lace, antique filigree silver and wood.

Cuisine here reflects the modern style of the hotel and its international guests. Mediterranean cooking with a twist in the Londa’s Caprice Restaurant is delivered under the direction of renowned chef de cuisine Patric Steklmacher. The Caprice is both a popular meeting place on the social scene and a magnificent setting for a view of the ocean through the enormous glass doors beyond the terrace.

The Londa’s spa and fitness centre is the ideal place to find balance between the body and mind. Spa manager Mona Pashia and her team offer a range of superb pampering, anti-stress, fitness and revitalisation therapies.
