Kilindi Zanzibar

Kilindi Zanzibar, comprising of a series of white-domed Pavilion guest rooms all set in 50 acres of lush tropical gardens, is a rarity in the world of luxury boutique hotels. Originally designed for Benny Andersson - one of the members of the 1970s pop group Abba - Kilindi achieves the perfect marriage between Scandinavian minimalism and the dramatic architectural overtones of Middle Eastern heritage, whilst encouraging an open 'barefoot and back-to-nature' ambiance throughout.

Kilindi provides a variety of intimate dining possibility, from the absolute privacy of your pavilion to a table on the pristine white beach which runs the length of the property.

A 'waterfall' bar with the Main Pavilion overlooks a large 25 metre infinity pool which itself affords views out across the sparkling warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Kilindi’s tropical gardens is the Kilindi Spa, offering a range of treatments in a serene and elegant setting to improve well-being and enhance relaxation.

Guest can enjoy a range of activities including diving, snorkelling, spice farm tours, a visit to Stone Town and dhow cruises all of which can be arranged by the hotel at an additional cost.

In each of the 15 Pavilion Suites, white wooden-slatted shutters embrace wide-arched glassless windows each affording spectacular views over the Indian Ocean. This same openness allows the gentle ocean breeze to waft throughout each of the rooms and carry with it the delightful soundtrack of Kilindi's colourful birdlife. Each Pavillion is set in its own private tropical gardens and served by a dedicated butler

The Pavilions also have their very own private plunge pool, and a separate but extraordinary 'rainfall' shower room, which provide not only a spectacular view to the Ocean but the liberating sensation of being 'at one with nature'.

General Information For Guests

Each pavilion enjoys a spacious double suite with shuttered windows opening out onto a personal plunge pool flanked by sunbeds on a private verandah. Adjoined by a walk way, a luxurious bathroom boasts a refreshing rainfall shower.

All areas of the pavilion are designed to evoke the 'back-to- nature' feel, with wide windows and an open-faced design to capture the ocean breezes, and to let guests drink in the view.

The beds within the Pavilions have a 'Cool Air' air conditioning system which provides an oasis over and around the bed. The window spaces are fitted with traditional wooden shutters that allow the sea breeze to permeate throughout the room.

The Kilindi Spa offers world-class treatments to pamper your mind, body and soul. With treatments from massages to body scrubs and rejuvenating facials, you will leave feeling revitalised from head-to-toe. Spa treatments are an additional cost.
