Sarova Expands India Wedding Focus, Blending Beach Celebrations with Safari Experiences

New Delhi, August 17, 2026: Sarova Hotels & Resorts is strengthening its focus on India’s growing destination wedding market, as Indian couples increasingly look beyond traditional celebrations to create multi-day experiences for their families and guests.

The Kenya-based hospitality group is positioning its portfolio of beachfront resorts, city hotels and safari lodges as an option for couples looking to combine their wedding celebrations with a wider holiday. This allows guests to experience Kenya’s coastline, culture and wildlife as part of the overall wedding journey.

A key property for the Indian wedding market is Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort & Spa in Mombasa, which offers a beachfront setting for both intimate gatherings and larger

celebrations. Wedding programmes can include traditional functions such as Mehendi, Haldi, Sangeet, the wedding ceremony and reception, along with customised décor, entertainment, dining, spa experiences and activities.

Beyond the celebrations, wedding groups can explore Mombasa through sunset dhow cruises, marine activities and visits to attractions such as Mombasa Old Town, Fort Jesus and Haller Park. Couples can also extend their itineraries to Kenya’s popular wildlife destinations, including the Maasai Mara, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Nairobi.

Sarova’s understanding of Indian wedding traditions is supported by its experience in hosting Indian celebrations. The group can facilitate Indian wedding planners, Hindu priests and access to temples in Mombasa, while catering options include Indian, Jain, vegetarian and international cuisines. The resort has previously hosted Indian weddings, including celebrations involving Indian television personality Rannvijay Singha and Priyanka Vohra.

Mita Vohra, Board Director, Sarova Hotels & Resorts, said Indian weddings are becoming increasingly experience-led, with couples looking to create memorable journeys rather than focusing only on the wedding ceremony. She noted that Kenya’s combination of natural beauty, culture, hospitality and adventure provides an opportunity to bring these elements together for Indian wedding groups.
