Zanzibar’s first Maldivian style island where pool-clad villas float above sparkling lagoons and world-class service is at your beck and call.
A short speedboat ride from Stone Town and you’ll reach the cerulean shores of Bawe Island, home to over 30 hectares of pure bliss. The perfect post-safari stop off, this exclusive island retreat was made for sun and fun days. It’s as luxurious as they come with a personal butler service on hand and thatched-roof villas perched above the ocean. If you can bring yourself to leave your villa, enjoy sunrise yoga sessions, sip cocktails on the sand, uncover the colourful underwater world or indulge in ocean-inspired treatments at the spa.
Why we love Bawe Island
-
The accommodation is stunning with over-water villas complete with private pools and breathtaking views.
-
Wellness is big here with a luxurious spa offering customisable treatments and a tranquil Zen Garden for meditation and exercise.
-
A true VIP experience awaits with a concierge and butler service available for an extra special stay.
-
Sustainability is a key focus at the resort with a number of eco-friendly initiatives in place.
Rooms
There are 70 exclusive villas wedged between the island’s lush greenery and sugar-white sands. The accommodation here has definitely got the wow-factor with not only luxurious amenities but incredible ocean vistas and a contemporary meets African-chic design. A pool comes as standard as does butler service. All the villas are as impressive as each other but if you fancy an extra luxurious experience, choose the Lagoon Pool Suites with their swanky overwater villas and glistening ocean panoramas. For ultimate luxury and privacy, Sultan Palace is a two-storey sanctuary that is perfect for a larger group.
Suited on the east side of the island and is the perfect spot to witness the spectacular sunrise right from the comfort of your terrace.
