In Zanzibari culture, the Baraza or bench has for centuries been a focal point of community life. Saunter on the award winning Bwejuu fine sandy beach, or be amazed by the coral reefs along the eastern shore. Start your day with a yoga session or perhaps a relaxing treatment in the spa. A fusion of design with beautiful arches, intricate hand-carved décor, hand made furniture and intricate brass lanterns adorn the spacious villas. Relax on your expansive terrace with private plunge pool whilst sipping your favourite cocktail. Mouth-watering cuisine awaits in the dining room and round off the evening with a digestif in the Sheesha Bar.
