smile Island VIP Experience
A luxury sunset escape to your own private paradise
Sail with a select group to a private island off Zanzibars north coast, where untouched nature, premium drinks and a private-chef sunset dinner create an unforgettable luxury escape.
Let us take you across the turquoise waters to a secluded private island, reserved exclusively for a small group of guests.
Your experience begins aboard our boat with a refreshing welcome drink and a gourmet bite. On the island, unwind, swim, explore the mangroves and discover our coral-restoration project — or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of your surroundings.
As the sun begins to set, the island transforms. Enjoy a beautifully prepared three-course dinner by your private chef, accompanied by selected wines and handcrafted drinks, with the Indian Ocean as your backdrop.
Music, a beach bonfire and unforgettable sunset views complete the evening before your boat journey back to the mainland.
From the moment you step aboard, everything is taken care of. All you need to bring is your swimwear, sunglasses and your brightest smile.
