Bawe Island
Boutique Beach Hotel
Our Rating
9.8
Bawe Island, The Ultimate Zanzibar Luxury, a five-star retreat nestled on a 30-hectare private island off Zanzibar's vibrant coast, offers an exclusive escape with 70 villas, each a masterpiece of seclusion and elegance, and is distinguished as a member of Leading Hotels of the World.
Each villa, enveloped by lush tropical greenery, features a private plunge pool and expansive terrace, complemented by dedicated butler service for tailored comfort. Spacious interiors blend modern sophistication with Zanzibari craftsmanship, offering air-conditioned serenity, coffee machines, minibars, safes, flat-screen TVs, and luxurious bathrooms with bidets. A central infinity pool shimmers amidst manicured gardens, while the private beach invites tranquil walks along powdery sands. The spa, a haven of calm, delivers bespoke treatments infused with local spices, paired with a serene meditation lounge. Active guests can enjoy tennis courts, billiards, table tennis, or complimentary bicycles to explore the island's wild beauty.
Dining on Bawe Island is a global affair. The Coral Reef Restaurant celebrates African flavours with dishes like grilled octopus and coconut-spiced stews, while La Dolce Vita crafts Italian classics such as truffle ravioli and wood-fired pizzas. Satori offers Japanese precision with sushi and miso-glazed fish, with vegetarian, dairy-free, and halal options available. Breakfast unfolds with buffet, à la carte, and continental choices, savoured in the open-air Ocean Terrace. Two elegant bars, including the Starlit Lounge, serve handcrafted cocktails and aged spirits, perfect for toasting under the island's starry skies. Guided snorkeling, scenic helicopter tours, or cultural excursions immerse guests in Zanzibar's rich heritage.
Positioned just opposite Stone Town, Bawe Island is a 15-minute boat ride from Zanzibar's historic heart and 153 km from Wawi Airport, offering seamless access to the island's spice markets and cultural landmarks.
