Perfect Description of Paradise!
Words really don’t do this outstanding resort justice. We stayed here for 4 nights at the end of our 5 week long trip around east Africa and I couldn’t recommend a better way to do it.The villa was beautiful. Furnished to the highest standard with living area, huge king size bed and big bathroom with his & her vanity. Private splash pool and day bed on the veranda area & then to top it off a private double cabana on the beach – we spent most of our days here…
It is situated on the southern of the two huge beaches that run down Zanzibar’s east coast,

Stone Town is a city of prominent historical and artistic importance in East Africa. Its architecture, mostly dating back to the 19th century, reflects the diverse influences underlying the Swahili culture, giving a unique mixture of Arab, Persian, Indian and European elements. For this reason, the town was designated as a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site in 2000.
Due to its heritage, Stone Town is also a major visitor attraction in Tanzania, and a large part of its economy depends on tourism-related activities, ( Wkipedia )
