The Residence Zanzibar

The resort has 66 stand-alone villas, and every villa includes a private plunge pool along with floor-to-ceiling doors that open onto the garden or the sea.

• One-bedroom villas – garden or ocean-facing, private pool
• Multi-bedroom villas – suited for families or groups
• Beachfront villas – direct beach access, uninterrupted ocean views
• Garden villas – set among tropical landscaping, added privacy

Bathrooms combine deep soaking tubs with outdoor showers set in private courtyards, and pitched wooden ceilings give each villa a distinct island character. Guests move between villas by golf cart or bicycle, since the estate spreads across 32 hectares of grounds. A jetty and a large communal pool sit alongside the beach for those who want company.
