The Residence Zanzibar - Kizimkazi
Overview
5-star resort with private pool villas on Zanzibar's southern coast
Villas & Accommodation
The Residence Zanzibar offers 66 villas across six categories, each with a private pool and large living areas. Villas in the Luxury Ocean Front category open directly onto the sand, while Garden Pool Villas sit within extensive tropical gardens. Personalised butler service is available on request for all villa guests.
Dining & Bars
Two on-site restaurants serve diverse cuisine, with private dining experiences on the 150-metre jetty lounge bar available. The Jetty Lounge Bar is a dedicated sunset cocktail spot jutting into the Indian Ocean. Guests can also arrange themed dinner nights and have breakfast delivered to their villa pool.
Wellness & Spa
The Residence Zanzibar's glass-walled spa houses a swimming pool, multiple treatment pavilions, and both a sauna and steam room. Spa treatments use local ingredients like coconut and cloves, with options such as body wraps, facials, and couples massage. Yoga classes and personal training sessions are offered daily.
Activities & Surroundings
The hotel sits on a private stretch of white-sand beach and offers complimentary non-motorised water sports like snorkelling and kayaking. A 50-metre main infinity pool overlooks the ocean, and bicycles are provided to navigate the 32 hectare grounds. Nearby excursions include dolphin safaris, Jozani Forest Reserve visits, and spice plantation tours.
Family & Children
The Residence Zanzibar Kizimkazi runs an air-conditioned children's club with multilingual, professionally trained staff. Kids can use the outdoor play equipment, indoor play area, and take part in supervised evening entertainment. Babysitting services are available for parents who want private dinners on the jetty or spa time.
