The Residence Zanzibar sits outside Kizimkazi on the island’s quieter southwest coast, surrounded by 32 hectares of forested tropical gardens. The resort contains 66 standalone villas that blend contemporary design with African, Omani and European references. A 45-by-15-meter beachfront infinity pool provides a more social alternative to the villa pools, while tennis, watersports, bicycles and a kids club make the resort workable for families as well as couples.
Spread through 32 hectares of tropical gardens on Zanzibar’s southwest coast, The Residence is an all-villa resort where every accommodation has a private pool and the beach stretches for roughly a mile.
