“This beachfront escape, located a bit outside Dar es Salaam, distinguishes itself with a private kilometer of white sand. With multiple dining options and comprehensive conference facilities, the resort skillfully balances leisure and business. For those inclined, there's even an on-site PADI dive center to explore the underwater world.”
