The Residence Zanzibar

The Residence Zanzibar is an exclusive luxury retreat set on a kilometre of pristine white sand beach on the southwest coast of Unguja island. This intimate property combines Arabian-influenced architecture with contemporary luxury.

The 66 villas each feature private pools or plunge pools, outdoor garden showers, and direct beach access. The resort’s beachfront restaurant serves fusion cuisine blending Swahili, Arabic, Indian, and European flavours using fresh seafood and local spices.

Activities include dhow sailing trips, snorkelling on coral reefs, spice plantation tours, Stone Town excursions, and diving at Mnemba Atoll. The resort’s spa offers Zanzibar-inspired treatments using clove and coconut oils.
