It is situated on the East Coast of Zanzibar, only an hour's drive from Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Anna of Zanzibar represents the fascinating fusion of Zanzibari influences in its design and style, creating a warm and homely atmosphere in a breathtaking setting on the white beaches of the Swahili coast.

Property details

The property

The main house is the heart of Anna of Zanzibar. There are two comfortable seating areas for guests to relax and unwind with a book. A television, DVD's and a guest computer with internet access is available. Meals can be enjoyed on the terrace of the main house, on your private terrace, or by the beach or pool. There are several private beach huts with sun chairs in the garden and comfortable sun beds on the beach.

The rooms

There are five luxury villas in the tropical gardens. Each villa has a separate lounge area, a master bedroom, a dressing room, bathroom and private veranda overlooking the ocean and garden. The rooms are furnished in a combination of colonial and original Zanzibari styles . Suites are equipped with a mini-bar, an individual room safe, a hairdryer and wireless internet connectivity. Three of the villas are suitable for families as the living room can be turned into a second bedroom.

Activities

The dive centre is located just 5 minutes by foot away from the hotel and offers access to some of the finest scuba diving sites in Zanzibar. Beginner courses as well as diving trips for professionals are offered. There are great opportunities for deep sea fishing in the Indian Ocean surrounding the island and fishing trips can be arranged. Spice farm tours, Stone Town tours and local village tours can also be arranged.

Why we love it

The homely atmosphere at Anna is heavenly. It's still family-owned and run and all guests are treated like friends - well, let's say friends who are royalty!

Insiders Tip

The spa definitely isn't a secret, but it's well worth a visit. We enjoyed washing away the safari dust with a body scrub - using locally-grown and sourced seaweed, coconut oil and lemongrass, it's close to heaven!

Something to think about

The beaches on the east coast are very tidal - at high tide, you can easily swim from the beach, but at low tide you'll need to walk a fair distance across the beach to the waves.
