Zanzi Resort

We’ll admit it. You’ve got to be prepared for a good “African massage” to get to Zanzi Resort. The gravel road is bumpy and full of holes. But it’s worth the effort as a little piece of paradise awaits you at the end of the road!

If it’s undisturbed privacy you’re after, Zanzi is the one to choose.

The staff do their utmost to look after you, yet in a virtually invisible way, right up until you need something. Then they’re there, and pretty much anything is possible. If you book the resort’s private dhow, it’s a private tour you go on. If you want to eat on your terrace, simply call the restaurant and the food will arrive – at no extra charge of course. There is no set breakfast time and if you choose to sit in the restaurant, you can look forward to a cosy, romantic experience with gentle music and dim lighting. The chef is creative and the food is really delicious! The wine and cocktail list is extensive, and they make the best coffee imaginable!

There are only 13 bungalows/villas: 4 garden bungalows, 1 family garden bungalow, 4 ocean view villas and 4 ocean access villas. The small houses all have their own undisturbed garden with chairs, tables and sun loungers. They are located on a very large plot with a good distance between them, guaranteeing your privacy. It goes without saying that the bungalows and villas all offer everything you need: air conditioning, a minibar, a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, a safe and exquisite toiletries.

The villas all have their own pool of a reasonable size. The bungalows have shared use of the large pool, which you will often have to yourself, as it’s really only guests in the bungalows who use this pool.

As the name suggests, Ocean view villas have a view of the beautiful turquoise sea. Ocean access villas have their own stairs, allowing you to walk directly from the villa and down into the sea at high tide.

The beach is small, and at low tide, the rocks are visible. Thanks to the 100-metre-long jetty, you can still swim, and if all that swimming makes you thirsty, you can simply call the bar from the jetty, and a waiter will come down to you with a cold beer.

The sunset is phenomenal from the jetty, and it’s not uncommon to see dolphins from here in the early morning or late in the day.

As the resort is very small, we recommend booking well in advance (at least 6–8 months ahead) if you want to upgrade to Zanzi.

Please note that Zanzi Resort is closed from 01.04.25 – 30.04.25.
