Zawadi Hotel

The perfect fusion of classical elegance and a more relaxed coastal retreat, Zawadi Hotel provides the ultimate luxury beach experience post-safari. Approximately one hour from Zanzibar’s bustling Stone Town, the hotel is situated atop a cliff overlooking a private white sand cove. This position affords hotel guests breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. Surrounding coconut palms and bougainvillea complete the sense of being in a lush island oasis.

Zawadi’s nine oceanfront villas are spacious, each measuring over 1,000 square feet, and feature expansive decks ideal for lounging in the early mornings and evenings. Each villa has air conditioning and Wi-Fi, which means you can escape from the heat of the day. Better yet, cool off in the ocean or at the bar with a handcrafted cocktail. You can also enjoy an authentic Zanzibar meal including fresh spices and local produce at the bar/restaurant.

Other activities include: Snorkeling, scuba diving and windsurfing. Of course, there’s a lot to be said for simply relaxing on the beach. Alternatively, rejuvenate on dry land at the onsite spa or take advantage of Zawadi’s outdoor gym facilities including a jogging track, monkey bars and weights.
