Framed by the waters of a crystal-blue lagoon, this island is a benchmark for Zanzibar’s enchanting beauty. A 15-minute boat ride from Stone Town brings you to an oasis of eco-friendly luxury, guaranteeing maximum privacy and exclusivity. Seventy spacious, exclusive villas Bawe Island are exquisitely furnished and equipped with the latest technology. Each villa, regardless of category, features a private pool and breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. And the most luxurious one – Sultan Palace – offers absolute privacy even directly inside the villa: on its first floor there are two bedrooms with a large living room and kitchen, and on the second – the bedroom Sultan with a large dressing room and bathroom.
A personal butler at Bawe Island is not a privilege for the chosen few, but the norm. Under his watchful eye, magical time of relaxation flows, and if you are in the mood for activity, he will organize everything in the best possible way. On the island, you can engage in not only land, but also water sports (sup, kayaking, snorkeling), as well as dive into the ocean depths. This truly unique diving spot is considered the best in Zanzibar: the waters here are teeming with coral, a variety of tropical fish, and other marine life. For those looking to try diving for the first time, the Watersports Mission center offers a program specifically designed for beginners.
Less active guests will prefer a relaxing time at the Rebirth by Healing Earth spa center. Immersed in an atmosphere of peace and serenity, you can literally merge with the surrounding nature and feel reborn.
But the main thing here is gastronomy. The hotel is very proud of its Dine Around philosophy, the first implemented in Zanzibar. To try something completely new and get acquainted with the offerings of various cuisines of the world, you don’t need to leave for an impressive experience – all the gourmet delights are present right here on the island. Four restaurants of different concepts offer a wide range of dishes, and the panoramic bar offers a menu of original drinks and snacks to go with them.
The SandThe Sand’s main restaurant, open for breakfast and dinner, features an open kitchen preparing the freshest seafood, a variety of salads, and international gastronomic bestsellers. Meanwhile, guests sip signature aperitif cocktails and enjoy the warm, soft sand under their bare feet: The Sand is not called that by chance – it has a sand floor.
The Rising Sun restaurant also has a telling name, since here you can get acquainted with the exquisite tastes of the Land of the Rising Sun. You can not only sample masterfully prepared Japanese dishes, but also learn how to create these culinary wonders yourself at a master class.
Trattoria Sinfonia, striving to become one of the best Italian restaurants in Tanzania, harmoniously combines traditional flavors and the flair of the modern Mediterranean with the tropical panorama that surrounds the island. Here, pizzas of all types, from basic to signature, are baked in a large wood-fired oven and classic Italian dishes are served.
To create the most comfortable and relaxed atmosphere for adult guests, The Beach Club restaurant, located right on the seashore, does not allow children, although it is only open until 6:00 PM. The emphasis here is on high-quality food, making it a top choice for gourmets.
And the most special spot with the best sunset view is the world-class The View Bar. It impresses first with its stunning location, then with its masterfully crafted cocktails, and finally with its vibrant beach vibe when the rhythmic live music starts playing or the DJ takes over the decks. Thus, even those guests who are looking for maximum privacy can diversify their holiday at bright atmospheric parties.
