The Residence Zanzibar
Tanzania
The Residence Zanzibar spreads its villas through tropical gardens beside a long beach. The resort’s layout gives guests space to retreat, with African, Omani and European influences reflected in its approach to design. Every villa has a private swimming pool and an outdoor deck with places to sit or stretch out. Views vary between the garden, beach and ocean, allowing travellers to choose how closely they want to stay connected to the shore. Bicycles provided with the villas make exploring the grounds part of the day. A larger beachfront infinity pool offers a change of scene, while spa treatments draw on local plants and spices. The setting lends itself to a balance of quiet time in the villa and gentle activity around the resort. Dining includes international dishes with Zanzibari accents at The Dining Room and island-inspired cooking at The Pavilion. Meals can also be arranged in the villa, making this a fitting choice for couples or families who place privacy high on their holiday list.
