Xanadu Villas, Zanzibar
5* villas
Xanadu Villas is a collection of luxury villas on Zanzibar’s south-east coast. There are just eight luxurious villas which are positioned on a stretch of beautiful white sand on the coastline of the Indian Ocean. Each villa is spacious, unique, private and individually styled and the perfect option for those in search of tranquility or looking for a beach retreat after a safari holiday.
The villas are located an hour drive away from Stone Town, Zanzibar’s capital, close to the village of Paje in the coastal resort of Dongwe. The area is amazing for those who like to snorkel or scuba dive as the coast is home to a coral reef and there are a number of fantastic diving sites nearby. For those who prefer to stay above water there are many activities such as kayaking from the beach by Xanadu as well as kitesurfing, surfing, spearfishing and sunset cruises available nearby.
Xanadu Villas gives a chance to embrace island life and switch off whilst staying in stunning luxurious surroundings. The Kiota Spa is spectacular and with relaxing massages and beautiful treatments available. There is also a large swimming pool and deck for those who prefer a cocktail by the pool to the powder sand beach.
Guests staying at Xanadu Villas stay on an all-inclusive basis where all meals and local drinks are included as well as a butler service, guided sea kayaking, snorkelling and paddleboarding from Xanadu’s beach. Dining at the Xanadu Villas is one of the real highlights with the choice of private villa, romantic beach or restaurant dining and creative dishes utilising the stunning fresh produce available across the island.
