Kendwa Rocks Beach Hotel  

On Kendwa’s white coral shore at the northern tip of Zanzibar — a true beachfront escape about an hour’s drive from Zanzibar Town and roughly 65 km from Zanzibar Intl. Airport. Steps from Kendwa Beach and a short drive to Nungwi and Mnemba Island, this beach hotel sits where turquoise water and dramatic sunsets meet.

Choose from 47 individually furnished rooms, suites and family rooms, or opt for a coral-stone or palmwood bungalow or simple palmwood banda surrounded by coconut trees and lush gardens. Rooms include refrigerators, flat-screen TVs, safes, desks, air conditioning and hair dryers. Expect relaxed, island-style decor and sea-breeze mornings just outside your door.

Play in the sand, snorkel, dive or join boat trips from the beach. The property features outdoor and indoor pools, a spa with massages, sauna and a fitness center. Other highlights include a diving club, picnic and barbecue areas, concierge services and nightly sunsets that light up the shore.

Practical services include a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, dry cleaning and laundry. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected, and parking is available on site.

Dine at the beachfront restaurant or grab a cocktail at one of three bars and the poolside bar. Room service is available during limited hours for late arrivals or beachside snacks.
