Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa 

Architecturally beautiful and home to some of the island’s best – and biggest – private pool villas.

The exclusive Zanzibar White Sand is the eco-friendly vision of one of east Africa’s most renowned architects, with stunning facilities designed to blend with the natural environment. There’s a strong focus on sustainability here – the resort is powered by solar and wind energy, and has its own water source and recycling policies to help ensure that ‘luxury shouldn’t cost the earth’.

The stylish restaurant overlooks the main pool and serves up an international menu with Zanzibari flavours. Or for extra privacy, you can dine in your villa. There’s a tropical spa in a tranquil area with waterfalls, a steam room and sauna, where therapists use local products from coconut to spices in the wide range of treatments. The calm waters of Paje beach provide one of the world’s best kitesurfing spots (from mid-December to March and mid-June to September), and the resort has its own high-end watersports centre.

Stunning sea facing pool villas have two separate spaces – one a living area with a light and airy lounge and dining section, the other with a bedroom, dressing room, bathroom with rain shower and outdoor bathtub – connected by a garden with terrace and private pool. In Beachfront Villas, your pool sits right on the sands, and as well as the garden and terrace there’s an outdoor staircase that leads up to a private rooftop terrace with daybed, perfect for relaxing. Family Villas have two en-suite bedrooms.

A relaxed, modern resort laid across one of Zanzibar’s best white-gold beaches. While the tides around Zanzibar can limit swimming time, the hotel’s spot on Kendwa Beach means you can do laps in the glassy water all day long.
