A beach wedding in paradise

Nurai Island is an island of paradise, and its name derives from the Arabic word ‘nur’, which means ‘light’. This breath-taking place is the perfect retreat for couples who are looking for peace and tranquillity and a paradisiac setting when they say their vows, as well as wedding photos that are complemented by unparalleled and uninterrupted Arabian Gulf views. Zaya Nurai Island is a five-star private island resort offering unequalled service and an unsurpassable experience for their guests. Margot Robbie, Orlando Bloom and Jessie J have also stayed at this empyrean resort - this is a venue fit for true Hollywood royalty.

This 32-bed boutique villa hotel can be hired completely for your wedding, and our event planners will arrange every single detail. From the tropical flower arrangements featuring jasmine, hibiscus and bougainvillea to the bespoke cocktails made specifically for your destination wedding. Whether you’re having a cultural wedding such as an Arabic wedding or Persian wedding, no request is too small - our team of luxury wedding planners will ensure that your wedding at Zaya Nurai Island Resort is a truly magical celebration.

Perfect for luxury weddings

For a larger wedding on the beachfront, you could have your wedding ceremony on the Beach Estates. 75 square meters of the beach are tucked under sweeping grass canopies, sprinkled around the perimeter of Nurai island. Each 18,000 square foot canopy boasts its own private beach and undisturbed sea views. Living space, sunbathing patios and outdoor dining areas. The Beach Estate can host 150 guests for a private wedding reception. For something a little more intimate, the Watervilla offers a large space that is perfect for canapés and cocktails whilst your guests drink in the magical ocean views.

For a wedding reception or party, you can fit 160 people with no seating, or 90 people seated. Should you and your loved one desire an even smaller wedding ceremony, then the Light-House is truly spectacular. This purpose-built, architecturally designed wedding venue was refurbished with the intention of becoming the ultimate luxury wedding venue. With crisp white interiors and beautiful grey timber flooring and a private bar that can fit up to 60 people, it is easy to see why the Light-House is in such high demand.
