The Residence Zanzibar

    Nestled within 80 acres of stunning island gardens, The Residence Zanzibar has a definite heir of seclusion despite it being less than an hour’s drive from the airport.

    Two main restaurants can be found within the grounds serving dishes inspired by the African and Middle Eastern spice route, with a touch of international flair. These also extends to light bites around the pool or beachfront and private dining experiences. Once finished, take a stroll through the gardens, enjoy watersports found on the nearby beaches or take some time out relaxing in the spa. The choice is yours.
