Zanzibar Serena Inn

With influences of intricate Swahili style and grand Arabic opulence, the Serena Inn is a haven of calm, contrasted against the animation of the exotic Stone Town, one of Africa’s most ancient and enchanting towns.   Surrounded by an alluring combination of Sultan’s palaces, Portugese forts, ancient harbours and vivid bazaars, there couldn’t be a more perfect location for your stay on Zanzibar, the Spice Island. 

The elegant rooms in the Serena inn boast high ceilings, shuttered windows and cool white walls.  No attention to detail is overlooked, with traditionally carved wooden furniture complemented by basket weave and ceramic inlay, delicate side tables and antique plates.  Brass lamps, grand four-poster beds and spacious balconies mean rooms provide a calming sanctuary letting you relax and enjoy every minute of your Zanzibar experience.

You will be spoilt for choice with a range of exquisite restaurants- from the Baharaia where the waves lap just inches from its open windows to fresh seafood served in the roof-top Terrace Restaurant, dining at the Serena Inn is truly delicious. Freshly-caught fish, luscious fruits, exotic spices and delicately flavoured vegetables blend to provide authentic, delectable Zanzibar cuisine.  For a truly luxurious lunchtime treat, the Mangapwani Beach Barbeque is just a short drive from the Inn, and Serena Inn’s exclusive beach hideaway provides an exotic seafood buffet steeped in Swahili culinary influences.
