Zawadi Hotel, Zanzibar

Privacy is offered in abundance in the nine spacious 100 square metre villas, all of which are decorated in a beautiful driftwood beach style with features including a minibar, satellite TV, DVD player, Wi-Fi and separate shower and bath with a view – not to mention the large bougainvillea-decked terrace overlooking the ocean.

A fusion of cultures in Zanzibar has created an exotic blend of flavours and the delicious cuisine at Zawadi takes full advantage of the island’s fresh produce and local spices. The chef combines ‘just caught’ with ‘freshly picked’ ensuring that guests enjoy an authentic Zanzibar experience. Breakfast and dinner are served in the aptly named Drift Wood Dining Room whilst snacks, lunch and drinks are available throughout the day in the relaxed Mswakini Beach Bar. The Mali Mali Lounge and Bar is open for cocktails and drinks before dinner. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, a selection of house wines and beers, afternoon tea, soft drinks, mineral water and tea and coffee are all included in your stay.

For those keen on a morning jog, Zawadi has a 900m trail which winds gently through the garden and you will even find chin up bars, benches, monkey bars and weights set up at regular intervals! From the trail, a staircase leads down to the beach - perfect for a refreshing ‘post-run’ swim! When relaxation calls, enjoy a massage in the massage room while listening to the sound of the waves! A complimentary shuttle service operates to Zawadi’s sister properties, Breezes, Baraza and The Palms where you can make use of the PADI 5 star dive centre, tennis courts, Spa and watersports facilities (including kite surfing, sailing and snorkelling safaris by boat).
