Zawadi

Speke says – “Zawadi offers some of the very best cuisine, superb staff, and a personalised service in a very chic and stylish option that gets consistently excellent feedback. The only potential downside is the beach area is on the small side but if that doesn’t concern you then this is a superb option and one that we highly recommend.”

Part of the fantastic Zanzibar collection that includes Breezes, Baraza and The Palms, Zawadi sits on top a cliff, with a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean, framed by swaying coconut palms and bougainvillea. It is a private, intimate getaway beach retreat with only twelve spacious villas. Designed in an elegant laid back beach style, Zawadi is relaxed luxury at its best, lying on one of the most coveted locations on the island of Zanzibar with breath-taking views of the Indian Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. At the centre of the property the cliff recedes, creating a small but beautiful cove of pristine white sandy beach. Guests can enjoy swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean throughout the day regardless of tides and can go snorkelling straight from the beach.

The villas are all huge, 100 sqm, with en-suite bathrooms and a private spacious terrace, with your own private plunge pool, directly overlooking the ocean. The rooms, and whole property, offer a relaxed atmosphere and understated elegant beach décor, it is a tranquil, laid-back hideaway that will no doubt leave you feeling relaxed and wanting to go back time and again. In room facilities include a seating area, mini bar, satellite TV, WiFi, safe, air-conditioning, and en-suite facilities including a shower and separate bath.
