The Chief Executive Officer of The Honeymooner, Atley Adejola, is repositioning Nigeria’s thriving tourism sector, fueled by tech-savvy young travelers, destination weddings and a booming creative class eager to explore.

Adejola sees luxury travel as more than passports and plane tickets, but about connection, culture and emotion.

Over the years, her brand has grown into one of Africa’s leading names in bespoke honeymoon and destination travel, designing experiences that are as intentional as they are indulgent.

With over a decade of experience and 3,500 honeymoons curated for couples from Nigeria to destinations around the world, Adejola has seen firsthand how Nigerian travelers embrace global adventure.

Sha has also discovered something deeper – the desire for familiarity, warmth, and home.

“Every Nigerian traveler I’ve worked with loves the world but still wants something that feels like home,” she says. “It’s a reminder that our tourism industry needs more heart, structure, and storytelling.”

That insight reflects the growing maturity of Nigeria’s travel community. More Nigerians are exploring the world than ever before, from romantic escapes in Santorini to luxury retreats in Bali.

“We have incredible destinations here at home. From Obudu to Lagos’ beachside escapes, from cultural festivals to quiet nature retreats, Nigeria can compete globally if we package our experiences with the same care and narrative that we admire abroad,” she adds.

Through The Honeymooner, Adejola is leading that charge, as the brand blends global sophistication with local soul, crafting journeys that tell stories, celebrate love, and make travelers feel seen.

Every detail, from resort selection to cultural immersion, reflects Adejola’s belief that luxury isn’t just about opulence; it’s about emotion.

Her work reminds us that Nigeria’s tourism story is still being written, and it can be one filled with beauty, structure, and pride.

As she continues to elevate the standard for romantic travel from Africa to the world, Adejola isn’t just helping couples see the world; she’s teaching a nation to fall in love with home again.
