Royal Zanzibar

The Royal Zanzibar is intended as a palace of indulgence, and so it is with its muted architectural elegance, offering privacy enveloped by an air of serenity.

Wide open spaces and clean, fresh air are luxuries money cannot buy in many a land, but here on a tiny island strewn between African sea and sky, Royal Zanzibar ensures you get plenty of both, even if you choose never to stray far from your villa!
