Elewana Kilindi Zanzibar
Elewana Kilindi Zanzibar | Zanzibar
Idyllically positioned on the north-west coast of Zanzibar, within a beautifully sandy bay and surrounded by a breezy mix of casuarina and palm tree forest, Kilindi is a luxury retreat run by the reputable Elewana Collection. Originally designed for Benny Andersson (of 1970’s ABBA fame), is a true blend of Scandinavian minimalism and the dramatic architecture of the Middle East.
Fifteen white-domed pavilion suites offering magnificent ocean views are dotted along the coastline, set within 50 acres of tropical gardens, providing what can only be described as a ‘lover’s paradise’. Rainfall showers, private plunge pools and the ‘open to nature’ approach in design, makes Kilindi the most romantic lodge in the region and one of the best options for a romantic honeymoon. Privacy and seclusion is guaranteed through the service of a dedicated butler who will also offer a wide range of locations throughout the property for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Other than time spent on the pristine beaches or crystal clear waters of Kilindi, the hotel is perfectly positioned for the best ocean activities such as snorkelling, diving and deep sea fishing. A heavenly sunset dhow cruise, island spice tours or visits to the historical stone town, can all be arranged by the lodge itself.
