Property details

The property

Nestled in 4 hectares of verdant gardens and neighbouring 200m of perfect white sand beaches, White Sand Luxury Villas and Spa offers you the best of the region. For families or romantic getaways, there is something for everyone to enjoy. With your choice of the villa's private pool, the communal pool, a paddle pool for the kids, or of course the splendid sea, dive into your perfect beach holiday! Rent a complimentary bike. Workout in the tropical fitness area. Stargaze through the telescope on the rooftop bar. And speaking of bars, did we mention that there are three bars where you can enjoy all your favourite cocktails - whether at the relaxed beach bar or the champagne lounge, enjoy kicking back and relaxing after a long day in the sun and surf. The stylish restaurant fuses Zanzibarian inspired dishes with International flavours, offering first-class cuisine and overlooking the central pool with the sea beyond.

The rooms

There are a total of 11 spacious villas, 5 have one bedroom, 5 have two bedrooms and then there is a super duper Presidential Villa. Each villa has an outdoor bathtub and a private swimming pool, set in a lush garden. The resort also has Cinnamon Garden Rooms which are individual luxury rooms which do not have a private pool but do have access to the communal pool. Tropical gardens surround each villa which ensures maximum intimacy.

Activities

The main activity is kite-surfing which is arranged for beginners and experts alike from the resort's dedicated watersport centre. They also offer snorkelling, stand-up paddle-boards and kayaks. When you're not in the water or sunbathing on the sand, wander around the lush gardens with over 100,000 plants and trees showcasing the natural beauty of the land. Pamper yourself with the ultimate, highly recommended spa treatments that incorporate local seaweed, spices, and coconut. Here you can also enjoy the steam and sauna rooms too. Or go farther afield, venturing into Stone Town - an hour drive across the island, Stone Town is definitely worth a visit to see the fascinating mix of Arabic and African cultures. You can also customise your holiday by booking excursions that will elevate your experience to the next level. Boat trips, sunset cruises, diving expeditions, yoga classes, and cooking lessons are just some of the many activities on the menu.

Rise early to glide alongside playful wild dolphins in crystal-clear waters. As dusk settles, make your way to the rooftop where a powerful telescope and perfectly chilled cocktails turn stargazing into an art form.
Something to think about

Something to think about

The dramatic tidal rhythm here orchestrates your day in unexpected ways. When the ocean takes its twice-daily retreat, swap your swimming plans for adventures in transparent kayaks or lazy moments in your private pool - Mother Nature's way of mixing up your holiday routine.
