A Destination Made for “I Do”

Ceremonies here take place on a private peninsula framed by Bambou Mountain and the shimmering Indian Ocean, the perfect natural backdrop for a barefoot aisle or a beautifully styled altar of florals and lanterns. The resort offers a selection of spaces, from open-air pavilions and lawns to intimate beach settings, giving you the freedom to create a celebration as intimate or as spectacular as you wish.

Wedding Day Experience

Begin the day with a morning of pampering at the overwater spa — think couple’s massages with the lagoon beneath you and champagne waiting in the relaxation area. The bridal party can get ready in the breezy Beach Villas, while the groomsmen enjoy a last swim before suiting up.

Your entrance feels cinematic as musicians play softly and guests turn toward the ocean. After the ceremony, a luxury speedboat whisks you to a private island for champagne cocktails before returning for a floating platform dinner, candlelight glinting on the lagoon as musicians play from a nearby pirogue. End the night with fireworks illuminating the starry sky.

Reception & Style

Receptions can be hosted outdoors on the resort’s lawns, in an open-sided pavilion, or even on a floating deck over the water. Styling here is effortless — long tables with soft linens, hurricane candles, and florals that pick up the colours of the island. Dancing under the stars is a must, with live music or a DJ setting the mood as guests kick off their shoes for a barefoot finale.

Villas & Guest Experience

Stay in a Beach Villa with its own plunge pool and direct access to the sand. Each villa has a private garden and outdoor shower, and a personal butler to anticipate every need. For wedding groups, a cluster of villas can be reserved together, creating a private enclave for family and friends.

Guests can enjoy golf on the Ernie Els-designed course, sailing trips, snorkelling, spa days, and catamaran cruises during the wedding week — turning the celebration into a full island experience.

A Destination Made for “I Do”

This is a place where ceremonies unfold on a private peninsula with the Bambou Mountain as your backdrop and the Indian Ocean stretching to the horizon. The setting is at once serene and cinematic, perfect for a barefoot aisle or a beautifully dressed altar of florals, candles, and island greenery.

Your Wedding Day

Begin with a morning of pampering at the overwater spa — massages timed to the sound of the lagoon, champagne chilled and waiting. The bridal party can get ready in breezy villas, while groomsmen enjoy a final swim before suiting up.

As guests gather, soft music plays, perhaps a violin and guitar duo, before you make your entrance to the peninsula. The ceremony itself is pure theatre: sea breeze, golden light, and that unforgettable moment when you turn to face each other with the waves at your back.

Afterwards, board a sleek speedboat and slip away to a private island for cocktails. Toast the moment with champagne before returning for dinner — not in a ballroom, but on a floating platform over the water, candlelight glinting on the lagoon.

Celebration Under the Stars

Dine on modern Mauritian cuisine — think freshly caught lobster, tropical fruit, and island herbs — then celebrate with a fireworks display illuminating the night sky. Dance barefoot on the beach or host a late-night party around your villa’s pool.

The Villas

Stay in a Beach Villa with a private plunge pool and direct beach access. Your personal butler will arrange every detail — from petal-strewn baths to sunset champagne on your terrace — leaving you free to enjoy each other.

Perfect for a Wedding Week

Spend the days around the wedding exploring Anahita’s championship golf course, sailing catamarans along the coast, or indulging in golden-hour couples’ massages. This is a wedding that feels like a holiday, where every moment — from arrival by helicopter to the final morning swim — is part of the celebration.

Weddings in Spring.

Spring is the season of rebirth, the start of the warmer weather and one of the most pleasant seasons for visiting this beautiful country, Italy. The heat of summer is not yet upon us, allowing you to enjoy the mild climate without overheating. In addition, most hotels are still in the off peak season and it is likely that you can save money on both flights and accommodation in comparison to a summer wedding.

Italy is in bloom in Spring, and you can take advantage of the lengthening days to explore the natural beauty of the coastline or of the countryside.   In Spring, you can choose to get married either indoors or out, as the weather is usually warm with the odd shower. It is the perfect season to take advantage of some of the beautiful villas and castles, and also the gardens which will be full of flowers and scent at this time of year.

Weddings in Summer.

Summer is the most popular time to get married in Italy, as one of the main reasons for coming here is the chance to enjoy the sunshine and the warm climate.  The days are long and warm, the beaches are among the most beautiful in the world and the mountains offer a cool green refuge from the sun.

Summer in Italy is the best time to go for those who enjoy the sun and want to sit and enjoy a coffee or an aperitivo in a cafe while watching the world go by. The beaches of the Italian coast come alive at this time of year, and numerous summer festivals and open air concerts take place in the summer months, many of them in beautiful surroundings that allow you to soak up the history and the culture of Italy while enjoying the entertainment.

Summer is perfect for beach or garden weddings, as the weather is almost guaranteed to be good. It is also a good time of year for some of Italy’s more unusual venues, including boats, vineyards and historical sites. Gourmet couples might also be interested in a farm stay or agriturismo, which allows them to sample local produce after seeing how it is made and perhaps even helping out.

Weddings in Autumn.

As Autumn sets in and the days get cooler, Italy remains a spectacular place to get married. It is the season for arts, music and culture, so for all you culture vultures and history buffs out there, this is a great time to visit a country with such a rich heritage.

As well as being the season for the opera and performing arts, and a great time to visit monuments and famous landmarks away from the summer crowds, Autumn is also harvest time for plenty of delicious fare such as olives and mushrooms. In addition to this, you escape the summer heat, and find that many shops that were closed in August are again open to the public.

As it is harvest time, Autumn is a fantastic month to get married or stay in an agriturismo where you will get the chance to try all kinds of delicious fare. It is also great for atmospheric weddings in villas and castles, and you will also find some great hotel deals at this time of year.

Weddings in Winter.

Crisp cold nights and time spent in front of a log fire sipping mulled wine. Skiing in the mountains, or skipping the summer queues to sight-see in one of the major cities. There are plenty of reasons to visit Italy in winter, so if you are thinking a wedding in an Italian winter wonderland, read on.

Winter is not the traditional time of year one might choose to get married in Italy, but the country is just as beautiful in this season as in any other. For those who don’t mind the cold and for winter sports enthusiasts it is probably the best possible time to visit the country. The climate on the coast is mild and quite wet in winter, but inland and especially to the North, snowfall often renders the mountains perfect for a winter wedding and great for skiing and snowboarding.

Christmas and the time leading up to it are very important in the Italian social calendar, as is New Year and the two weeks following it. For this reason many traditional craft fairs and food festivals are held at this time of year, and most larger towns have their own Christmas market.

Weddings in old mountain villas and castles make for a warm, cozy atmosphere, while luxury hotels allow you to relax and be pampered before enjoying a traditional or not so traditional party with all the trimmings.
