Property Overview

Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa is set directly on Kendwa Beach, on Zanzibar’s north-west coast. The beach is known for its white sand and limited tidal variation, allowing guests to swim throughout much of the day. A large outdoor pool and tropical gardens provide additional space away from the shoreline.

The resort has 76 rooms, suites and villas spread across spacious grounds. African and Arab influences are interpreted through a contemporary design, with accommodation ranging from 70-square-metre Deluxe Rooms to private two-bedroom villas with pools and butler service.

Dining includes buffet meals, an à la carte restaurant, beachside snacks and live music at Sultan Bar. Guests can also arrange island excursions, private boat trips and visits to Stone Town, Jozani Forest and local spice farms.

The spa uses Healing Earth products, while the health club provides Technogym equipment, group fitness sessions and private training on request.
