Frequently Asked Questions
The resort is best suited for small to medium-sized groups, with a maximum capacity of approximately 40–60 guests. This limit is mainly due to the boutique character of the property and the limited accommodation available. With 27 rooms, the resort can comfortably host wedding parties and events while maintaining the personal service and tranquil environment that guests appreciate.
For weddings and private events that are booked well in advance, it is also possible to arrange a full buyout of the resort, allowing your group to enjoy exclusive use of all rooms and facilities for a truly private and personalised celebration.
Events and weddings at Basecamp Mafia Island usually take place during the dry seasons, when the weather is most stable and ideal for outdoor celebrations and ocean activities. The most popular period is June to October, which offers sunny days, comfortable temperatures, and excellent conditions for beach ceremonies. Another good period is December to February, when the island experiences warm weather and calm seas.
Since Basecamp Mafia Island is a boutique resort with limited capacity, weddings and private events are typically planned well in advance, especially during these peak seasons, to ensure availability and allow the possibility of reserving all rooms for the event.
Event and wedding planners are very welcome to pre-visit Basecamp Mafia Island to explore the resort and discuss the possibilities for weddings, retreats, or private events. A site inspection allows planners to experience the property’s atmosphere, view the rooms and facilities, and explore potential ceremony and event locations around the resort and the beach. During a pre-visit, our team can also discuss event logistics, accommodation capacity, activities, catering options, and possible event setups to help planners design a smooth and memorable experience for their guests. The resort usually charges a daily fee for the inspection, which will be refunded when the event materialises.
