The Residence Hotel, Zanzibar

An Unforgettable Escape at The Residence Hotel, Zanzibar

Our stay at The Residence Hotel in Zanzibar was a true escape into paradise. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by natural beauty, thoughtful luxury, and warm hospitality that made every day feel like a new adventure.

A Beachfront Villa Like No Other

We stayed in a stunning villa right on the beach, complete with its own private pool. Waking up to the sound of gentle waves and stepping out onto our terrace to see the turquoise ocean was unforgettable. The villa offered privacy and comfort, letting us relax completely while soaking in the incredible views.

Culinary Delights

The food at The Residence was nothing short of amazing. Each meal showcased flavors of Zanzibar with a perfect blend of local ingredients. One highlight of our stay was the Earth Garden tour, where we got a glimpse into how the resort grows its fresh produce. Learning about the farm-to-table process and seeing the care taken to cultivate these ingredients made each meal feel even more special.

Unique Exploration by Bike

One of the best parts of The Residence experience was exploring the resort by bike. The bikes gave us the freedom to move from the beach to hidden garden paths and other spots around the property, making each day feel like a new discovery. This unique touch really added to the sense of adventure, and it was a fun way to see all the resort had to offer.

Wellness and Relaxation

The Residence offers a full wellness experience. I started each day with a yoga class that was both rejuvenating and peaceful, set in a serene spot overlooking the ocean. The spa was equally incredible, with treatments that left us feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. The on-site fitness gym was also a wonderful option, making it easy to stay active and healthy even while on holiday.

A Luxurious and Sustainable Paradise

From our villa to the gardens to the wellness facilities, every part of The Residence experience felt intentional and immersive. This is more than just a hotel—it’s a destination where luxury meets sustainability, creating an oasis that celebrates the beauty and culture of Zanzibar. Our stay was filled with memories we’ll cherish forever, and The Residence Hotel is truly a paradise we can’t wait to visit again. Thank you to the wonderful team at the Residence, who made our stay memorable.
