Designed in an elegant laid back beach style, Zawadi is relaxed luxury at its best, lying on one of the most coveted locations on the island of Zanzibar with breathtaking unrivalled views of the Indian Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. At the center of the property the cliff recedes, creating a beautiful cove of pristine white sandy beach. Guests can enjoy swimming in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean throughout the day regardless of tides and can go snorkeling straight from the beach. With a relaxed atmosphere and understated elegant beach decor, it is a tranquil, laid back hideaway offering guests an all-inclusive stay with the very best cuisine and personalized service.




Twelve luxurious villas are spread out along the hillside to ensure maximum privacy and spectacular views. Entering from the large front deck through a sliding glass door, you step into a minimalistic, modern room decorated with lightly painted wooden furniture and woven rugs. Each room has comfortable couches and a spacious double bed. The ensuite bathrooms have freestanding bathtubs, double basins and a shower with room enough for dancing. Other amenities include air conditioning, a minibar, wifi and a satellite TV.
