Zawadi sits atop a cliff, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean. It’s an intimate boutique residence made up of just nine villas complete with private terraces and plunge pools.
The style is laid-back beach elegance. It’s very modern Zanzibar – we love the way the cool whites and muted neutrals of the interiors serve as a striking contrast to the vivid blues and greens of the outdoors.
Speaking of which, there’s a jogging trail around the property if you’re feeling active, and steps down to a small sandy cove where you can snorkel or swim. Afterwards, we recommend heading to Mswakini Beach Bar for casual lunches and the Drift Wood Dining Room for authentic Zanzibari evenings.
