Zawadi Hotel
Zawadi is a small boutique hotel on Zanzibarβs south-east coast, with just 9 guest rooms dotted along a cliff offering sublime views of the Indian Ocean. The hotelβs elevated, cliffside position sets it apart from the beachfront resorts that line much of this stretch of coast.
Rooms
Each of the 9 rooms is individually positioned along the cliff to take advantage of ocean views, with private terraces, air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms.
Spa and Pool
A small spa and swimming pool sit alongside the clifftop accommodation, with an idyllic beach accessed via steps down from the lodge.
Location
Zawadi sits on Zanzibarβs south-east coast, in the same area as sister properties The Palms and Breezes Beach Club, near Bwejuu and Paje.

Zawadiβs clifftop position, with all 9 rooms individually placed along the cliff for ocean views, gives it a distinct character compared to the beachfront resorts that dominate this stretch of south-east coast. The small spa, pool and beach access via steps add a sense of intimate retreat, making it a quieter boutique alternative to its larger sister properties nearby.β The SafariBando team
