IVF has become an important option for many couples and individuals in the UK and across Europe. But with rising costs, long waiting lists, and legal restrictions at home, more patients are traveling abroad for treatment. In 2025, Cyprus stands out as one of the most popular IVF destinations—and here’s why.
1. Affordable Costs Compared to the UK
IVF in the UK is expensive, especially at private clinics:
-
IVF cycle: £3,500–£7,000 (excluding medication)
-
Medications: £1,000–£2,500
-
Egg donation: £7,000–£12,000
In Cyprus, the same treatments are much more affordable:
-
IVF cycle: €3,000–€5,000
-
Medications: €800–€1,500
-
Egg donation: €5,500–€7,500
💶 Even with flights and accommodation, the total cost is significantly lower than in the UK. You can estimate your own costs using our IVF Cost Calculator.
2. Shorter Waiting Times
Many UK patients face long NHS waiting lists or high costs in private clinics. Cyprus offers much shorter waiting times, often allowing treatment to begin within weeks.
This speed is crucial for patients concerned about age-related fertility decline.
3. Legal Flexibility
Laws around IVF vary widely across Europe. In Cyprus:
-
Anonymous egg and sperm donation is permitted
-
Embryo freezing is legal
-
Single women and same-sex couples can access treatment
These options are often restricted or heavily regulated in the UK and other EU countries, making Cyprus a more inclusive choice.
4. High Standards of Care
Cyprus fertility clinics operate at international standards, using advanced technologies such as ICSI, genetic testing (PGT-A), and cryopreservation. Success rates are comparable to, or in some cases higher than, UK averages—especially in donor cycles.
Patients also benefit from:
-
English-speaking medical teams
-
Personalized treatment plans
-
Dedicated coordinators for international patients
5. Easy Travel & Comfortable Stay
Cyprus is easily accessible from the UK and Europe, with direct flights from most major cities. Once you arrive, the process is made simple with Dream Transfers—covering airport pickups, hotel connections, and clinic visits.
Typical stays are:
-
7–10 days for standard IVF
-
5–7 days for donor egg cycles
-
4–5 days for frozen embryo transfers
6. A Supportive Environment
Beyond medical treatment, Cyprus offers a calm, Mediterranean setting that helps patients feel more relaxed during their fertility journey. Many patients combine treatment with a short holiday, creating a less stressful overall experience.
