A fascinating cave on the sea
Marriage is a dream to wish for, a fabled event to experience with your beloved in the magic of a fairytale location, accompanied by the sound of the waves and with a breathtaking view. If this is what you are looking for, you are in the right place.
We are in Praiano, a town of fiery sunsets, unknown to mass tourism, with its alleys winding through the Mediterranean landscape, with its terraces and picturesque houses leading directly to the sea.
It is in one of these incredible rocks that the Africana Club is located, a natural cave excavated by the erosive force of the water, with its incredible unique atmosphere is the setting for the most exciting, entertaining evenings you can have on the Amalfi coast. The sunsets which can be seen from Praiano are amazing: a purple sun slowly disappearing behind the majestic mountains, illuminating in the distance the Faraglioni rocks of the island of Capri as well as Punta Campanella, the tip of the Sorrento Peninsula.
The Africana is an exclusive location; 800 square metres of rock excavated by the sea thus creating a stunning cave and its sheer terrace.
Recently renovated, the structure was originally one of the most popular clubs for the international jet set, who spent so many unforgettable evenings there; guests have included Jacqueline Kennedy, Gianni Agnelli as well as the Queen of Holland. While the nightclub still conserves its reputation as an international music club of the highest calibre, the current owners have cleverly transformed it into a fantastic wedding venue: one of a a kind. The extraordinary structure of the premises provides several settings for large events or small receptions, making each event special and unique.
A dynamic marriage that can be planned and modulated to the needs of the spouses. You could create an itinerant wedding, which leads from the beautiful Praia beach, with a sumptuous aperitif along the romantic sea promenade that leads to the restaurant, or you could choose to arrive directly by boat and celebrate an elegant banquet on the terrace, accompanied throughout the evening by the rhythm of music in the suggestive inner cave.
Access to the restaurant is via three entrances: one from the beach of "Marina di Praia" which is only 500 metres away, another by sea on a private dock or from the village itself where there is also a car-park with about 30 parking spaces.
At the Africana you can also celebrate your civil or symbolic wedding ceremony either on the terrace, or in the cave itself, or even, for the most intrepid spouses, on the rocks outside. The refined in-house restaurant, with a renowned Italian Chef, will delight your palate with traditional Mediterranean local dishes.
The location can accommodate up to 150 people.
A wedding at the Africana is an elegant event like no other.
