STAY AT XANADU VILLAS ZANZIBAR
Xanadu was the 13th century capital of Kublai Khan – imagined by many to be a paradise. Stay at Xanadu Villas in Zanzibar and you’ll come to the same opinion.
It’s early evening. You lean back in your villa’s rooftop pool and watch the sun set and the sky above you slowly turn blue-black. The fragrance of the Spice Islands is on the soft evening air; will you dine on your private terrace or in Xanadu’s elegant restaurant?
Specify Xanadu Villas when you’re planning your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Zanzibar and you’ll be able to indulge your appreciation of luxury, as well as your taste for adventure. Xanadu is set beside an irresistible white beach and offers experiences ranging from visiting giant tortoises on Prison Island, to swimming with dolphins and cruising aboard a stylish dhow. And the resort is less than an hour from ancient Stone Town, a jumble of historic alleyways, flamboyantly decorated buildings and atmospheric squares.

We had a wonderful safari experience in South Luangwa, Zambia this September. Despite a few unexpected setbacks behind the scenes, everything ran seamlessly for us. Our driver and guide were outstanding, and the standard of accommodation was truly first class.
