This intimate beach-chic retreat sits on a clifftop with glorious ocean views.
With just 12 villas dotted along a clifftop in one of Zanzibar's most sought-after settings, Zawadi does away-from-it-all luxury perfectly. It's exclusive but laid-back, where the décor is understatedly elegant and delicious dining and personalised service top the priority list.
Opened in June 2016, Zawadi has excellent sister property credentials, too – it belongs to The Zanzibar Collection, which includes the popular Breezes Beach Club & Spa and world-class Baraza Resort & Spa, and shares its sister resorts' idyllic south-east coast setting.
Fitness buffs can work off some of the all-inclusive indulging with a morning run along the 900m jogging trail that winds through the gardens. Towards the centre of the hotel the cliff recedes to reveal a tranquil cove of soft white sands where you can snorkel straight from the beach.
