Rent a villa near the beach in Zanzibar

Kiwengwa beach is among the finest in Zanzibar: very fine white sand, a lagoon sheltered by the coral reef and strong tides that reshape the landscape every day. Dhows and fishermen dot the horizon at sunrise and sunset.

From the villa, the shore is a few minutes away on foot. This is the area of the east coast's great beach resorts, with its dive clubs, dhow trips and restaurants right on the sand.

Back from the lagoon, the private villa offers its 5 × 12 m pool, outdoor shower and shady garden to rinse off and rest. Three air-conditioned bedrooms, a summer kitchen and a rooftop terrace make a genuine seaside base, away from the bustle.

Baraka arranges the days: snorkelling on the reef, swimming with dolphins in the south, a trip to the sandbanks or a visit to Stone Town, a World Heritage site.
