Unguja Lodge offers an experience unlike that of staying in a 'normal' hotel. The accommodation consists of spacious self-contained cottages that are referred to as 'villas'.
There are 11 in total - 7 Sea View Villas, 3 Baobab Villas, and the Family House. The Sea View villas and the Family House have a direct sea view, and each has a private terrace overlooking the Menai Bay. The Baobab Villas are built a few meters further from the shore beneath a huge baobab tree. They are oriented to the garden, which make them ideal if you want even more seclusion and privacy.
The pool at Unguja Lodge is ideal for a quick dip to cool off, and has a shallow area ideal for children. The lodge is also the only location on Zanzibar with a 'house reef' within swimming distance , right in front of the lodge.
Rates Include
Half Board basis. PLEASE NOTE: The rate excludes the USD 5.00 per person per night Infrastructure Levy - this is payable directly to the hotel IN CASH upon check out.
