Deluxe Garden View

Situated on the ground and 1st floors, our garden view rooms offer easy access to the pool and garden and just metres away from our steps down to the beautiful white beach. The balconies are perched just over our tropical garden so you will be in the perfect spot to experience the scents of the exotic flora and fauna just below.

Deluxe Sea View

Our 1st and 2nd floor Deluxe Sea View Rooms offer uninterrupted, panoramic views taking in the West Coast of the Island out across the Indian Ocean and up to the Northern tip of Zanzibar.  Natural light floods the room, while a wall of glass draws you to the wonderful view - the breathtaking view of the Zanzibari sunset from your balcony is an unforgettable memory.

Interconnecting Rooms

Our Interconnecting: Deluxe Garden view and DeluxeSea view, can be found on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors. One room has a king size bed whilst the adjoining room has 2 single beds. Ideal for families.

The Interconnecting Rooms encompass all the features of our Deluxe Rooms along with some additional features.

Roof - Top Suite

With 50 square metres of living space, our two Roof top suites have been individually designed by the owners and encompass all the benefits offered in our Deluxe Rooms but with additional features. As the name suggests, the suites perch on top of the building and enjoy double-height vaulted ceilings into the roof with exposed beams and amazing birds-eye views from the terrace. 

Z Suite

Zanzibar. Everything about the space exudes luxury and individuality; all rooms have pull back doors, inviting the outside in… the problem is, you will never want to leave.

Ocean Front Cottages

 For extra privacy, our 2 Ocean Front Cottages are completely separate from the rest of the hotel’s accommodation. The living space is arranged over 2 floors with a ‘floating deck’ over the water which looks out directly across the Indian Ocean.

 Both floors have complete pull back bi-folding doors, opening the cottages up to the outside welcoming in the soft warm sea breeze.  You will never forget the sound of waves hitting the rocks below as you lay back and soak up the African sun.
