Zawadi Hotel, Zanzibar
Rated Amongst the Best Hotels in Zanzibar
Zawadi sits atop a cliff, with a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean, framed by swaying coconut palms and bougainvillea. It is a private,
intimate getaway beach retreat with only twelve spacious villas. Designed in an elegant laid back beach style, Zawadi is a relaxed
luxury at its best, lying on one of the most coveted locations on the island of Zanzibar with breathtaking unrivalled views of the Indian
Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see. At the center of the property the cliff recedes, creating
a beautiful cove of pristine white sandy beach. Guests can enjoy swimming in the
warm waters of the Indian Ocean throughout the day regardless of tides and can go snorkeling straight from the beach.
Located on the southeast coast of Zanzibar just 60 minutes from the airport, it is the newest addition to the prestigious Zanzibar Collection.
Zawadi offers guests accommodation in 100 sqm villas with en-suite bathrooms and a spacious terrace directly overlooking the ocean. With a
relaxed atmosphere and understated elegant beach decor, it is a tranquil, laid back hideaway offering guests an all-inclusive stay with the
very best cuisine and personalized service.
