At Intle, weddings unfold like stories — not just in one moment, but across an entire weekend of joy, connection, and unforgettable beauty.
Tucked away on a private reserve overlooking the Indian Ocean, Intle is an exclusive-use wedding lodge and weekend wedding venue where couples can slow down, breathe in the coastal air, and celebrate with the people who matter most.
Every wedding here is crafted with intention, intimacy, and a touch of wild elegance.
To give you the freedom to make Intle truly yours, weddings require exclusive use of the hotel for two nights (Friday & Saturday).
This ensures complete privacy, time to prepare, and uninterrupted access to the entire property for your celebration.
We’ll work closely with you and your planner to tailor every element to your vision. No two weddings here are ever the same.
Capacity: Ideal for 60–70 guests (with flexibility up to 100 for couples who value the setting over scale).
