Xanadu Villas opened on 1st June 2016 and has proved a very welcome addition to Zanzibar's luxury accommodation options. Eight unique and beautifully designed villas surround a central pool engulfed by an oasis of tropical gardens and palm trees, just meters from the turquoise Indian Ocean. Xanadu can be taken exclusively for up to 22 pax or the villas can be sold individually to couples and the villas are priced individually to suit a range of budgets.  

Xanadu is on the South East beach of Zanzibar which is a great wide stretch of beautiful white sand, and offers snorkelling, paddle boarding, sunset dhow cruises and a spa. Other activities such as diving or kite surfing are outsourced and can be arranged easily from Xanadu. 

Each villa has a private pool and an assigned butler, and the cuisine is the best I have had in East Africa, since their chefs are sourced from leading restaurants in Cape Town.

WHEN TO GO
Zanzibar is a year round destination but it can rain heavily in April. February is the hottest month, and June to October is cooler and dry.

ACCOMMODATION
Xanadu is comprised of eight uniquely designed private villas. Five villas have one bedroom and three villas have two bedrooms. Each villa has it's own plunge pool and beach access, as well as lounges and kitchens.  

CHILDREN
No children under five please unless in an exclusive use booking. Xanadu is sophisticated and less suited to young families, making it more romantic and peaceful for couples and older families.

GETTING THERE
Xanadu is approximately a one hour road transfer from Zanzibar airport and the historic Stone Town (65km)
