Destination Weddings in Comoros

Celebrate your marriage in unique romantic style on the Comoros Islands, which are located off the coasts of Mozambique and Madagascar. The scent of tropical flowers and spices is constantly in the air on these four volcanic islands which bring together a captivating blend of Arabic, African, Malay-Polynesian and French influences.

Weddings on the Comoros Islands are celebrated in style. An abiding tradition is the grande mariage - up to nine days of festivities involving the whole community! The bride will be attired in an exquisite outfit and beautiful jewelry, ensuring that the wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

The biggest of the Comoros islands is Grande Comore. Bays, beaches, villages and small towns are strung along the eastern coast of the island, which is fringed with coral reefs. Many stylish resorts stand on the west coast and the interior is composed of rainforests, plains and a volcano. The capital of the Comoros islands, Moroni, is also found here. This picturesque port city has a lovely harbor from which you can watch spectacular sunsets. The winding streets of its medina are a delight to explore.

For complete tranquility, head to the island of Mohéli, where dense rainforest gives way to pristine white beaches. Anjouan is another beautiful choice, featuring endless fields of flowers such as jasmine, cassis and orange flower. A ylang-ylang distillery can be visited on the island. For a taste of history, you could explore the old town of Hari Ya Moudji, which is filled with ruined palaces and dates back to the 16th century.

The Comoros island of Mayotte is the only one to remain a territory of France. The wide streets of its main town contrast with the other islands, but it retains an exotic feel. Fishing, diving and boating are all popular off the coast.

Whichever island you choose for your dream wedding, you can be sure that your wedding in Comoros will be a day to remember forever. These exotic islands are just waiting for your visit.
