Contemporary yet luxury, you'll feel transported to paradise, yet right at home with the comfort of modern luxuries.
Amenities & Experiences
Spend your days lounging by the swimming pool, diving, paddling and kayaking the turquoise ocean, working up a sweat on the tennis courts or in the fitness centre, relaxing with a good book in the library, and unwinding at a guided yoga session. Immerse yourself into the local culture at a Swahili cooking lesson, language lesson, village tour and spice farm visit. Beyond the resort, trips to Jozani Forest – home of the red colobus monkeys – Stone Town UNESCO heritage tours, dolphin excursions, and cruises on traditional dhow boats can also be enjoyed.
