Unique Pavilion-Style Villas

Kilindi Zanzibar (Adults Only) features 15 eastern-styled domed Pavilions set within a 35-acre tropical garden. Each whitewashed, three-room pavilion has a terrace, a private plunge pool, and an open-air living area. The rooms include windows and doors that open toward the sea. Inside is a bedroom inside a turret-esque building with a four-poster bed surrounded by a mosquito net. The spacious bathroom, connected to the villa, has a rain shower, twin sinks, arched windows, and high ceilings. Each villa is set in private tropical gardens. There's no feeling of being crammed in or looked over by a neighbor.

Varied Dining Experiences

Kilindi Zanzibar offers diverse dining options, including private dining at your villa, on the beach, in the restaurant, or around the pool area. Dining takes place even along the pristine white beach. The dinner menu changes each night and usually has three main options. Breakfast includes tropical fruits and dishes such as lobster eggs Benedict or a smoked snapper croissant.

Beach and Pool Activities

The main pavilion has a light blue infinity pool that looks out onto the bay and islands. There's a 'waterfall' bar with the Main Pavilion overlooking a 25-metre infinity pool. The private beach includes loungers and beds, plus SUP boards and kayaks to borrow. Activities in the surrounding area include fishing, snorkeling, diving, and canoeing.

Secluded North-West Coast

Kilindi Zanzibar is nestled along a secluded beachfront on the north-west coast, just around the corner from Kendwa beach. Kilindi is with views out across the ocean to Tumbatu, Mwana-na-mwana and Popo islands. Stone Town, known for ornate doorways and as the former home of Freddie Mercury, is about an hour and a half by car away. Landmarks nearby: Dr Bulugu Gallery - 3.5 km, Baobop - 3 km, The Panje Project - 3.5 km, Full Moon Party & Saturday Night Party - 1.5 km, Spanish Dancer Divers - 3 km, Mnarani Marine Turtles Conservation Pond - 4.5 km, Zanzibar Kilosas Conservation - 4.5 km, Nungwi public Beach - 3 km, Kilindi Zanzibar is 65 km from Kisauni.

Personalized Guest Services

Each Pavilion is served by a dedicated butler. The creamy, curvy, sculpted style of the buildings, from domes to towers, look like a mix of Gaudi, Scandinavian and Arab influences. A separate 'rainfall' shower room is annexed to each Pavilion room. Ironing facilities and air conditioning are provided.

“Kilindi Zanzibar caters specifically to adults seeking secluded luxury. Its unique pavilion-style villas, each with a private plunge pool and dedicated butler, offer an unmatched level of privacy amidst lush tropical gardens. The focus on personalized service and intimate dining experiences, particularly the 'Taste of Zanzibar,' elevates it beyond a typical resort stay, setting it apart as a destination for creating lasting memories.”
