SET ON SANDY KIWENGWA BEACH
Set in palm trees with breathtaking vistas across the Indian Ocean, the Residence Zanzibar is an elegant island retreat with a wide range of activities. There are 66 modern villas in total, all wonderfully appointed and each boasting its own plunge pool. The Presidential Villas are particularly impressive; over 460 sq km in size with outdoor showers, a dining room, lounge and huge deck with unbeatable ocean views.
There are two restaurants serving both international and locally inspired cuisine, but you can also opt to dine in the privacy of your own villa. When you’re not lounging on the beach or by the gorgeous, glass-sided infinity pool, you could be out discovering historic and natural treasures with local guides, swimming with dolphins, kite surfing or deep sea fishing. You could even explore the local surroundings on one of the complimentary bicycles provided to each guest upon arrival.
