KilindiThe newest and in our view best hotel on Zanzibar. Located on the North-West of the island, just down from Ras Nungwi, this ‘logically-eco’ 52 acre property boasts an ultra private character, accompanied with a secluded crescent beach of white coral sand, which is reputedly the most perfect on the island.
Kilindi – The Facts
15 pavilions, each with 2 private plunge pools and a water fall
Spa and restaurant
Jamie Oliver trained chef
Private butler service
Kilindi – The Detail The fifteen pavilions, spa and restaurant are privately dotted across the property exploiting the elevation and expanse of the land, to ensure each unit has uninterrupted views over the 500 metres of beachfront. The plot has been sensitively landscaped to retain an ambience of natural wilderness of the coast, whilst the spa and each pavilion is enclosed within the walls of its own private lush tropical garden, with plants specifically chosen to attract the birds and butterflies native to the region.
Kilindi, in its entirety, has been designed to subtly make use of all its space in order to pay homage to the extreme natural beauty of the location. Each pavilion consists of a comfortable shaded baraza seating area, sun deck, an enormous wet-room with rain-shower and two cooling plunge pools from which to soak in the views, one of which lies at the foot of the spacious bed to naturally cool the room in concert with the sea breezes. Logically-eco architecture allows the domed roofs, which deflect the heat of the sun, to harvest rain-water that is recycled into the bathrooms and gardens.
The restaurant, which overlooks the 25 metre T-shaped infinity pool of the communal area, is fast building a reputation of being the best in East Africa. Under the management of, Russell Bridgewood and chef Richard Tewnion, the two Englishmen have raised the bar of gastronomic experience in the region. Russell comes straight from the helm of a series of award-winning restaurants in London (Brown Dog, E&O, Annexe 3, Pig's Ear) and Richie has worked with such London luminaries as Jamie Oliver (Fifteen) and Pierre Koffmann (Brasserie St Jacques) before running his own kitchen at Bacchus. The emphasis is on fresh locally sourced produce, (supported by Kilindi’s own market garden) and a generous homely atmosphere afforded by their principles of all-inclusive exclusivity. A premium wine list also offers guests the extra choice of the very best South African, Italian, French and Lebanese classics.
Kilindi – Our viewWe see Kilindi as the new number on the island. It is expensive, but an extremely reasonable price for its bracket, allowing it to stand out on its own. The private pavilions are in our eyes some of the best two person accommodations in Africa and the standard of service simply make it a ‘must’ on Zanzibar (if it’s within your budget….).
