Uroa is a quiet and little fishing village on the east coast of Zanzibar. Local people live traditionally fishing (there's also a fish market on the beach; it's very folkloristic to see the fish auction!) and seaweed harvesting (usually used for cosmetics).
This coast is affected by the phenomenon of the tides (not to be missed!) and does not enjoy the beautiful sunsets that this island gives (strictly in the north-west of the isle); anyhow the wide, white and sandy beach is one of the most beautiful of the isle. Guests can have nice promenades during the low tide or do jogging too.
Our Resort offers to its guests a private beach with typical sunshades and sunbeds, just next to the Bar Pwani to relax in the sunshine with something cold to drink.
