Celebrate your wedding in luxury

Begin your journey in the heart of historic Stone Town, then unwind with a week of barefoot bliss on Zanzibar’s most beautiful beach.

Your honeymoon begins in the heart of Zanzibar's cultural soul, where the narrow streets of Stone Town weave through centuries of history, spice-laden market, and carved wooden doorways. Neela Boutique Hotel is your base - a stylish and intimate hotel tucked down a quiet alley just steps from the seafront. With just 14 beautifully designed rooms, its peaceful, personal, and effortlessly romantic. Mornings start with fresh tropical fruit and Zanzibari coffee, and afternoon are made for wandering: getting lost in the magic of old down, sailing out on a traditional dhow, or simply watching the life change over the rooftops from the rooftop bar.

Stone Town is an easy place to fall in love - with the atmosphere, the architecture, and the gentle pace of life. You will find a real sense of connection here, from the warmth of the welcome to the stories etched into every coral-stone wall. Whether you are exploring the spice market hand-in-hand, tasting Swahili street food, or soaking up the view from Forodhani Garden, there is something quietly cinematic about it all.

After a few days of culture, you will head north to Zuri for a full week of oceanfront indulgence. Zuri isn't just a beach hotel - it's one of the finest luxury retreats in Zanzibar, purpose-built for relaxation, romance, and the wonderful sense of escapism you only find in truly special places. Set on a private stretch of Kendwa's powdery white beach, the property offers rare swimmable tides all day, so you can float in the warm Indian Ocean from dawn to dusk. The whole resort has been thoughtfully designed to blend naturally into the tropical gardens, with winding sandy paths, oversized daybeds, and a calm, easygoing atmosphere that feels a world away from everything.

Your Ocean-Front Suite is a dream for honeymooners - secluded, spacious, and styled with Zuri's signature blend of natural textures and modern elegance. You will have your own private terrace with panoramic views over the ocean, a huge bed draped in soft mosquito netting, an outdoor shower, and all the comforts you'd expect from a five-star resort. It is the kind of space where time slows down and every detail feels considered.

Dining is a joy here too, with several restaurants and bars offering everything from just-caught seafood to fragrant local curries and international favourites. You can toast the sunset at the beach bar, enjoy a candlelit dinner under the stars, or take part in a private Swahili cooking class if you feel inspired. The resort also has a beautiful wellness area offering yoga, massages and treatments with locally sourced oils - idea for unwinding after your wedding.

Combining Neela and Zuri creates the perfect Zanzibar honeymoon - one that blends culture, character, and castaway-style luxury in all the right proportions. You start with connection: to the history, the people, and the rhythm of Stone Town, staying somewhere that feels personal and rooted in place. Then, just as the stories and sensory buzz of the old town begin to settle, you slip away to the coast for a week of pure relaxation. It is a honeymoon with contrast and balance - giving you time to explore, unwind, and celebrate your new chapter together in two unforgettable settings.
