Each spacious villa and bungalow offers an intimate environment. Ocean-front villas have a private patio with a pool, a lush tropical garden, and a gazebo draped in mosquito nets. The bungalows are located in the garden area with access to the main swimming pool. A guest relations attaché is available to help plan day trips and excursions.

Really nice small gem in Zanzibar. The rooms are incredible and the resort is very private and relaxing. There are monkeys and bush babies as well as many fish. The staff is extremely friendly and always ready to greet you with a smile. The ability to have breakfast at all times was an amazing benefit expecially when just relaxing. The quality of the food was amazing and especially dinners were incredibly tasty. Kudos to the chef and his team. Also would like to mention our favourite member of the staff (altough everybody was beyond amazing) Emanuel. Another really helpful person with suggestions around the island was Julia. This is the perfect getaway for a relaxing and a private holiday.

The property as a whole was beyond expectations. Decoration and building was making you feel like stepping into a different world. Staff was super friendly, pool was very clean and the location is the best in Stone Town. Also thanks for a great upgrade on the room. We stayed in Freddie Mercury Room which was absolutely perfect. Will definitely come back and recommend to my friends.

The pool was relaxing and the bar had a great selection of drinks to choose from. As for food, we tried several items on the menu and all were extremely tasty with nice sized portions. I would like to give a shout out to house keeping, the ladies were always pleasant and did a through job. This is definitely a great roomy place to stay and I was completely satisfied with our apartment. Sergi, Max and Siad, thanks for always being pleasant and taking the time to educate us on language, local areas and the finer things to do in Zanzibar.

Looking for a hotel with pools?

‘Does it have a pool?’ is arguably one of the most common questions when booking a stay in any location. These hotels offer a great way to keep active during your holiday without having to hit the gym. Indoor pools allow you to practice your backstroke come rain or shine, whereas outdoor options allow you to relax on a sun lounger after swimming a few lengths.
