Kilindi is located on the far north west coast in the Nungwi area and benefits from some truly amazing ocean views!

It has a total of 15 rooms described as pavilions, but they are really like mini villas, each one comprising 2 or 3 rooms set in different locations in private gardens, which “tumble” down the hillside. Really like a hillside village. For example, the bedroom with its window to the stars on one level , then down some outside steps to a bath/shower/toilet on another level, and then more outside steps to a lounge and plunge pool area. There is also a private sundeck on the roof of each mini villa/pavilion.

All pavilions have an Ocean view; rather nice here with a lot of ngalawas and other boats. The whole place has an authentic Zanzibari feel, and certainly very different to many of the other properties on Zanzibar.

At the bottom of the hill is an idyllic crescent shaped sandy beach, with the ocean good for snorkelling and diving within 2 minutes or so. The hotel has beach furniture....sun beds, shades, tables.

The main area is half way up the hillside. Lots of decking and again all feeling very different. Kilindi features tropical gardens which are almost jungle-like, rather than manicured. There is also an Infinity pool and a small spa available.

The arrangements at Kilindi are all inclusive with a nice imaginative menu and a good selection of wines.
