The Residence Zanzibar is a gorgeous, luxe property set on over 79 acres of beautiful beachfront grounds on the southwestern tip of Zanzibar’s main island, Unguja. Its 66 villas have either one or two bedrooms, private pools, separate living rooms, and huge bathrooms with soaking tubs and both indoor and outdoor showers. A beautiful infinity pool has a large deck, food and drink service, and panoramic beach views. The beach itself, though lovely, is generally too shallow for swimming, but non-motorized water sports are available free of charge, and there is a pier where diving trips depart. The spa and gym are both excellent, complete with an outdoor pool, free yoga classes, and six treatment rooms. The hotel offers a range of meal plans -- and food here is excellent -- but those wanting to go all-inclusive may want to compare rates at the Baraza Resort & Spa.
