The Residence Zanzibar lies within a lush, forested 32-hectare estate where five-star luxuries sit harmoniously alongside nature’s untouched beauty. Feel your spirits soar amid extensive tropical gardens that meet with powder-soft white sand lapped by the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean.

Inspired by the island’s eclectic cultures, this luxury Zanzibar resort blends modern comforts with Swahili, Omani, British and Indian influences. Indulge in the privacy of the spacious villas, attended on if you wish by your own butler. Enjoy carefree days relaxing by your private pool, on the beach, or exploring the gardens on foot or by bicycle. Savour a taste of the Spice Island’s unique blend of cultures and cuisines, and the pleasure of sensational spa treatments.

Discover more of the island and the waters that surround it in a myriad of activities, from visiting historic sites and rare natural wonders to deep sea fishing and diving with dolphins. Whether you dream of a quiet couple’s retreat or fun in the sun for the whole family, embrace all the delights of our island life at The Residence Zanzibar.

The Residence is of the larger properties featured by Guru, and features contemporary style, garden and beachside view villa, made up in a combination of: Presidential Pool Villa (2 bedrooms), Prestige Ocean Front Villa (1 bedroom), Luxury Ocean Front Pool Villa (1 bedroom), Luxury Garden Pool Villa (1 bedroom), Frangipani Garden Pool Villa (2 bedrooms) and Frangipani Ocean Front Pool Villa (2 bedroom)

Relaxing comes easy on the lounge deck outside, furnished with wicker chairs and daybeds, overlooking a 1.2-metre-deep private swimming pool and soothing garden, beach or ocean views. If you feel like exploring the beautiful gardens and local surroundings, stroll at your leisure or hop on the bicycles that are provided with each of our Zanzibar luxury villas.

Set at the heart of the hotel, The Dining Room offers sumptuous breakfasts, light and simple dishes for lunch and in the evening, European favourites with a hint of Zanzibar spice.
