KISIWA ON THE BEACH

Ideally situated on one of the island's most beautiful beaches at Paje, on Zanzibar's southeast coast, Kisiwa on the Beach is nestled in a lush tropical garden and bordered by a pristine white sand beach. An intimate, luxurious address made up exclusively of private villas on an immense property. The architecture and decor are inspired by Swahili architectural traditions, blending carved wood, fabrics in soothing marine colors and natural materials to create an elegant, Zen atmosphere. Its sumptuous swimming pool and quiet beach, separated from the hotel by a carpet of vegetation, are a real asset. An original botanical garden is located within the hotel grounds. A second Kisiwa address exists in a historic sultan's house in the heart of Stone Town.

The villas. The resort boasts 22 spacious, comfortable villas, all designed to offer privacy, serenity and Zanzibar charm. Each villa has a large private terrace, an elegant bathroom with bathtub and modern amenities (air conditioning, minibar, safe, wifi). All can accommodate two adults and two children, combining luxurious comfort with Swahili authenticity. The Bahari Beachfront Pool Villas are the most exclusive, located directly on the beachfront with a private pool and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. The interior architecture of these villas is exceptional, with backlit alcoves, tropical woodwork and tastefully detailed furnishings. The Bahari Grand Pool Villas and Raha Luxury Pool Villas, rocks away from the beach and the main pool, also offer spacious, light-filled rooms and a private pool. Set further back, the Raha Luxury Villas offer a cosy atmosphere and close proximity to the beach, while the Starehe Luxury Villas, nestled in the gardens, offer a calm, green environment, and some can be joined for families.

The restaurant. Bembe offers fresh, creative cuisine featuring local Zanzibar produce: freshly caught fish, fragrant spices, seasonal vegetables and tropical fruits. Served al fresco, meals are enjoyed facing the pool and ocean, in an elegant atmosphere. The plate of grilled octopus, gambas, fish and lobster is exceptional for its tenderness, freshness and flavor. The Poa Bar, located next to the restaurant, is the ideal place to enjoy a sunset cocktail or relax after a day of sightseeing. On request, the hotel also organizes private barbecues on the beach, in a romantic and magical setting.

Pool and beach. A large swimming pool lined with deckchairs and tropical vegetation invites you to relax. It's truly magnificent, set in front of a row of coconut palms and facing the beach. Many villas also have their own private pool, offering a more intimate luxury. The white-sand beach, directly accessible from the villas, stretches as far as the eye can see along the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Traditional deckchairs are set under makuti straw huts in the sand.

The spa. Designed according to the principles of Feng Shui, the Blossom Spa is a veritable bubble of well-being, offering an experience in harmony with nature. Its carefully landscaped garden inspires serenity. Holistic massages, scrubs, hot stone treatments and beauty rituals such as facials, manicures and pedicures are on offer, as are duo massages. Let yourself be enveloped by the expert hands of our therapists and experience a moment of deep, rejuvenating relaxation.
