ROOM FEATURES
Each
room is cool, white and constructed to the traditional design of
a Swahili house, which is dependant upon the length of the mangrove
poles that make up its ceilings. Adorned with arched niches, antique
plates and brass lamps and featuring traditionally carved furniture,
cool-ceramics, intricate fretwork, draped beds and louver doors
giving onto wrought-iron balconies overlooking the Persian-bath
pool and azure bay beyond, each room reflects a blend of essential
Zanzibar and world-class elegance.
GUEST ROOM INFORMATION: All guest rooms are air-conditioned

rugs and bright Swahili artefacts.
