Walk into a villa that's already celebrating you.
The flight was long. The coast road was beautiful. And then the door opens on a path of petals, candlelight across the bed, flowers on the table and a note in your own words. Nobody carried a thing. The honeymoon just started.
The Villa Arrival is Alora Events' honeymoon and anniversary setup for couples staying in villas and Airbnbs across Cape Town, from Camps Bay and Clifton to Constantia and the Winelands. It starts from R4,500 (about $275, €245, £205), is booked from overseas with a bank transfer deposit, and includes rose petals, LED candles, a fresh bouquet, a balloon cluster, a handwritten note, set-up and collection. We arrange access with your host, so you don't have to.

Your host lets us in
You book and tell us where
Villa name or Airbnb listing, your check-in time or the window when you'll be out.
We contact the host
We agree a set-up time with the host or villa manager and confirm their rules on candles and balloons.
We style and step out
About an hour. We send you a photo of the finished room so you know it's ready.
We collect the next day
At a time that suits you. The flowers and the note stay with you.
When to book it in the trip
First night: the arrival after a long flight becomes the moment you remember. Most overnight flights from Europe land in the morning, so a mid-afternoon check-in is ideal.
Last night: turns packing day into an occasion. Good if your trip starts with a safari or the Garden Route and ends in Cape Town.
The anniversary date itself: we set up while you're at dinner and you walk back into it.
Cape Town is UTC+2 all year. Send us your full itinerary and we plan around late arrivals.
