Quayside Charm in Cardiff Bay

Perched along the lively Mermaid Quay in Cardiff Bay, Zia Boutique embodies the area's dynamic spirit.

The waterfront setting infuses every visit with a sense of coastal energy, where sea breezes mingle with the hum of passersby enjoying bay views.

Curated Collections of Elegance

Inside, discover a thoughtfully assembled array of handpicked items that blend whimsy and sophistication.

The shop's role in Mermaid Quay's retail scene highlights Cardiff Bay's transformation from industrial docks to a cultural hub, where boutique shopping complements waterfront leisure.

Seasonal Delights and Everyday Treasures

Throughout the year, the inventory shifts with seasons: festive ornaments in winter, beachy accents in summer. Homeware ranges from cozy cushions to decorative bowls, while jewellery spans everyday silver to glamorous gold. Accessories cater to all tastes, ensuring something for every visitor, whether hunting souvenirs or refreshing their style. This ever-changing curation keeps return visits exciting, fostering a connection to the bay's vibrant, ever-evolving atmosphere.
