The pool area is lovely and spacious - and surrounded by a small hedge to ensure privacy

A great place for easy beach-filled days, and a mecca for kite surfers

The 2 non-sea view suites are rather small

Uzuri Villa offers 7 air-conditioned rooms in two different categories:

  • 4 Suites with private terrace (for 2 or 3 pax)
  • 3 Junior Suites

There is also a lovely veranda on the second floor where you can enjoy a marvelous view of the Indian Ocean, and a living room on the ground floor (facing the swimming pool and the beach), where you can take your meals, or simply enjoy reading or listening to music.

  • en-suite bathroom
  • ceiling fan
