Zawadi Hotel Zanzibar

Part of the prestigious Zanzibar Collection, Zawadi Hotel is an exclusive, all-inclusive, adults-only boutique retreat located on a stunning cliff on the Michamvi Peninsula. With breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see, this serene hideaway is the epitome of relaxed "barefoot luxury."

Featuring just 12 expansive, private ocean-front villas, Zawadi guarantees absolute privacy and tranquility. A short staircase leads down from the cliff edge to a beautiful, sheltered cove with pristine white sand, where guests can swim in the warm waters regardless of the tide—a rarity on the island's east coast.
