Zawadi Hotel sits on a cliff with a stunning panoramic view of the Indian ocean. Sensationally luxurious and with just 12 villas this resort is a private and intimate beach getaway for couples and honeymooners. The perfect add-on for relaxation after your safari or perfectly placed for a week of escapism.
Tranquil and serene with a beautiful cove of sandy beach, you can swim here as well as snorkel directly off the beach. The 100 sqm en-suite villas are chic and contemporary with a spacious terrace directly overlooking the ocean and bordered by bougainvillea and palm trees. A relaxed atmosphere prevails throughout the lodge in its understated, yet elegant beach décor. Incredible all-inclusive dining options offering some of the freshest produce on the island create an authentic experience and for those relaxed evenings, the Mswakini beach Bar provides a relaxed and casual atmosphere. Unwind and relax while professional Thai and Balinese therapists provide a personal massage on your private terrace.
