The island’s spacious villa features five ocean-facing bedrooms, an expansive living space, and a wraparound veranda with a rim-flow pool. Two traditional Tanzanian bandas offer extra privacy just steps from the beach. Expect breezy interiors, curated art, and panoramic views from nearly every room.
Menus are crafted to guest preferences, featuring ocean-fresh seafood, seasonal vegetables, and tropical fruits. Enjoy barbeques on the beach, lunch on the verandah, and alfresco meals beneath the stars. All dining is prepared by a private chef using locally sourced produce.
Enjoy the fully equipped fitness center or unwind with a spa treatment in the privacy of your villa or anywhere on the island. The rim-flow pool overlooks the Indian Ocean, and the white-sand beach invites slow walks or restful afternoons shaded by palms.
Snorkel through coral reefs with a guide or scuba dive in the Shungimbili Island Marine Reserve. Swim with marine turtles and whale sharks near Mafia Island, sail a traditional dhow, or explore the legendary Spice Island of Zanzibar.
