The Residence Zanzibar
Opened in April 2011, The Residence Zanzibar is in an enviable location on the south-west coast of the island of Zanzibar; set on a mile of powdery white sand beach, flanked by palm trees and the Indian Ocean.
The 66 stand-alone villas are designed with the island's African and Omani heritage in mind, complemented with stylish, contemporary furnishings. Each villa boasts its own private swimming pool and personal butler service.
The Residence Zanzibar offers a choice of mouth-watering dining options. Guests can enjoy international dishes with a hint of "Zanzibar spice" in the relaxed atmosphere of the main restaurant or a more Arabic experience in the Omani Palace styled Pavilion Restaurant. Weekly themed dinners are held on the beach and in-villa private dining is also available.
For the active, there's a tennis court, fitness centre and watersports - kite surfing and diving can be arranged nearby. The mile-long beach and pool area are the perfect place for relaxation; as is The Spa. The Residence Zanzibar Carita Spa is the first hotel spa to provide the Ohashiatsu concept to its guests, focusing on acupressure points and an Oriental diagnosis. Excursions into the vibrant capital of Stone Town and to the Spice Plantations can be arranged for guests wanting to explore this fascinating island.
