On the northernmost peninsula of Zanzibar Island about 60km away from the stone town lays this luxurious beach resort, it overlooks a sparkling expanse of iridescent Indian Ocean. The lush gardens drop down onto one of the finest and most unspoilt beaches on the island, which in turn is fringed by a wide and thriving coral reef. Infused with the laid-back, exotic yet ultimately natural spirit of Zanzibar, this is the place to relax and enjoy all that this extraordinary part of the world has to offer.

Rooms :

All 32 rooms are tastefully furnished, with hand-crafted four poster beds and indigenous decor, and all have balconies, air-conditioning, ceiling fans, hair-dryers, electronic safes and en suite facilities with deluxe bathroom amenities.

Mosquito nets over all beds ensure a peaceful night's sleep, with the sound of the ocean rounding off a relaxing day in paradise.

Lodge rooms have a garden view and both types of chalet room (superior and superior deluxe) have a sea view, with proximity to the ocean being closer the higher the category. Both chalet categories are fitted with mini-bars. Superior deluxe chalet rooms also have a CD-player and other special extras.

The enormous detached suite of over 200 square meters is entirely self-contained in verdant gardens, with its own plunge pool and spacious living areas. Guests in the Ocean Suite enjoy its magnificent roof-terrace and open-air sitting room, perfect for airy siestas or stargazing.
