Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa is a beachfront resort at Kendwa blending African and Arab architectural influences with contemporary design. Room categories run from 70m² deluxe rooms up to 90m² suites and 200m² beachfront or "jungle" villas, including three themed villas the operator calls "The Arab", "The African" and "The Italian".

What sets it apart

Its themed villa categories and scale set it apart from the boutique end of this list — this is a full-service resort rather than an intimate property.

Who it suits

Groups and families wanting resort-scale facilities directly on Kendwa beach.

What it costs

OTA-observed nightly rates run roughly $264 to $549+ for standard categories, with one source citing rates from $508/night — wide variance by date and room type, and dynamic pricing rather than a fixed rack rate.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
