The Residence Zanzibar

The Residence Zanzibar, a luxurious five-star retreat on the southwest coast of Zanzibar, nestles within a lush forested estate along a kilometre of pristine white-sand beach, blending Swahili, Omani, British, and Indian influences as a distinguished member of Leading Hotels of the World.

Sixty-six elegant villas, each with a private swimming pool and terrace, offer serene views of tropical gardens or the Indian Ocean, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, minibars, coffee makers, and private bathrooms with premium toiletries. The heart of the resort, a stunning glass-walled infinity pool, shimmers amidst five acres of private gardens, while The Spa rejuvenates with treatments inspired by Zanzibar's flora and spices. A fitness centre keeps guests active, and complimentary watersports like kayaking, pedal boating, hobie cats, and snorkeling invite exploration of the vibrant coral reefs.

Dining at The Residence Zanzibar is a global affair. The Dining Room serves international dishes infused with Middle-Eastern, Turkish, Greek, and Mediterranean flavours, from lamb kofta to fresh seafood meze, alongside a daily American breakfast with tropical fruits and artisanal pastries. The Pavilion Restaurant offers intimate dinners with spice-kissed curries and grilled catches under starlit skies. The Jetty Lounge Bar crafts refreshing cocktails and light bites, perfect for savouring during vibrant sunsets. Guests can embark on dolphin safaris, visit the Red Colobus monkeys in Jozani Forest, or relax with beachfront yoga, immersing in Zanzibar's natural and cultural allure.

Located a 55-minute drive from Zanzibar City and 57 km from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, with the village of Kizimkazi just 20 minutes away, The Residence Zanzibar offers seamless access to Stone Town's historic charm and the island's lush forest reserves.
