The best thing about Zawadi is its location... perched on a cliff which offers stunning, uninterrupted sea views
An intimate hotel, with just 9 private, spacious villas
It's a short walk (or kayak) away from the Blue Lagoon... one of the best snorkeling spots in Zanzibar
The beach is a private cove, with a nice long walkway into the ocean... making it easy to swim at low tide
Zawadi has its own veggie garden and a small farm, which is great for a stroll. Perhaps you can feed Gilbert the Goat!
You can enjoy a meal at one of Zawadi's sister properties (Baraza and The Palms) at no extra charge. Lovely for a long stay, if you feel like a change of scenery.
It's difficult to find something negative to say about Zawadi! It is a 'high end' property... so unaffordable to those on a budget.
