Zanzi Resort Zanzibar

Set within six hectares of lush tropical gardens on the serene west coast of the island, Zanzi Resort is a beautifully intimate 5-star boutique getaway. Located just 15 kilometers from historical Stone Town, this tranquil sanctuary offers a completely different landscape compared to the east coast, featuring dramatic cliff-lined shores, dense jungle foliage, and some of the most spectacular, uninterrupted golden sunsets in Zanzibar.

With only 13 private villas, Zanzi Resort is the epitome of secluded "barefoot luxury." It is designed for travelers who want to deeply disconnect from the busy world, surround themselves with vibrant nature (including the charming local bush babies that visit in the evenings), and enjoy highly personalized service and private pool accommodations.
