Right on the seafront overlooking the turquoise waters of the Zanzibar Channel, this boutique hotel has been painstakingly restored and sits elegantly amongst landscaped gardens.
Each guestroom is cool and white and focuses on the traditional attributes of Swahili style, ethnic elegance and Arabic opulence. As well as intricately carved fretwork and gauzy fabrics, all of the rooms have a wrought iron balcony, satellite TV and air-conditioning. The pool deck offers unrivalled views of passing dhows and sunsets.
Stone Town’s best hotel occupies the best location – right on the waterfront in the heart of the action. The rooms have been designed with an Arabian influence, and those visitors who are not staying additionally on the coast can take advantage of the hotel’s beach club. The insider tip is to ignore the charms of the restaurant and take a short stroll along the alleyways to enjoy the nightly delights of the street food market.
