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.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
