THE NOBU VIEW

The stay

Twelve ocean-facing villas above Zanzibar’s southeast coast, each with a personal private plunge pool and terrace. Zawadi combines an all-inclusive stay with a shared infinity pool and dining by the sea.

Zawadi looks out over the Indian Ocean from a low cliff on Zanzibar’s southeast coast. Twelve villas sit among palms and bougainvillea, each with a private plunge pool and an ocean-facing terrace. The setting encourages a stay built around the view, with shaded outdoor space and a small beach reached by steps where the cliff opens into a cove.

With one principal accommodation style, choosing Zawadi is more about the setting and small scale than navigating a long room-category list.

An all-inclusive format brings meals and selected drinks into the stay, while dining and bar spaces face the coast. The shared infinity pool and spa treatments offer alternatives to time on the villa terrace. Zawadi normally welcomes guests aged 16 and over; younger children are considered only for an exclusive whole-property booking. It is a strong candidate for couples and older travellers who value a villa retreat with a wide ocean outlook.
