Luxury Holidays At The Residence Zanzibar

Set along an expansive stretch of soft white sand edged by coconut palms, The Residence Zanzibar - a member of 'The Leading Hotels of the World' - embodies all the mystery and romance that this castaway island promises. The spacious guest villas - each with a private swimming pool and personal Butler - are luxuriously appointed, contemporary and inspired by the island's African and Omani heritage. Views are of the Indian Ocean or the eighty acres of lush gardens (bicycles or a golf buggy with driver are provided for guests who wish to explore), while a glass-walled swimming pool, exceptional spa and attentive service make the hotel a strong contender for the ultimate sophisticated getaway.
