Exotic Zanzibar

Jane's verdict

The mere mention of Zanzibar sends a tingle up my spine. This castaway island, where Arabia meets Africa, is one of the world’s truly exotic destinations. The new Residence Zanzibar offers five-star honeymooners pool villas and an exquisite spa - plus a 25% discount and other goodies such as champagne sundowners on the jetty.

Swaying coconut palms, azure-coloured waters and a cooling tropical breeze showcase Zanzibar’s newest and chicest arrival – The Residence Zanzibar.

The resort is set in 80 acres of lush forest, tropical gardens and a mile of pristine white sand beach.

Scattered throughout are the 66 spacious pool-villas. Choose from peaceful garden settings or full-frontal ocean views, each with a pool large enough to swim in and a deck furnished with sun umbrellas, day beds and loungers for perfect privacy.

The exquisite Pavilion Spa features Paris-based Carita products and its own tranquil swimming pool. There are no less than six treatment pavilions, each with a private garden and relaxation area.

Indulge in a gastronomic journey, where Arabia meets Africa, in one of the two excellent restaurants, whilst your personal butler, arriving on a traditional tricycle, attends to your every need.

Bicycles are provided to explore the extensive gardens, whilst a vast glass-walled pool sits on the edge of the beach providing stunning sunset panoramas.

If you can tear yourselves away, the village of Kizimkazi, famous for its dolphin safaris, is just 20 minutes away by taxi whilst the capital Stone Town is under an hour away.

Our honeymoon offer includes 25% off the villa price, a complimentary beach bag, a dhow cruise with lunch and a sundowner bottle of Champagne on the hotel’s jetty (for stays up to 18 December 2011 and between 4 January and 12 December 2012 in all room categories except the Frangipani and Presidential Pool Villas). This offer can be combined with our free nights offer.

Romance does not come in a more perfect package than this.
