Six unique and beautifully designed villas surround a central pool and dining area engulfed by an oasis of tropical gardens and palm trees, just meters from the beach. Xanadu can be taken exclusively, or the villas can be sold individually to couples or small families, allowing big family groups to have an extremely private and top-end retreat, while not pricing out the honeymoon couples on a budget.

Xanadu is on the South East side of Zanzibar which is a great stretch of beautiful white sand. They offer snorkeling, kayaking, beach biking, paddle boarding, sunset dhow cruises and spa treatments. Other activities such as scuba diving, tours of the island, or kite surfing are outsourced and can be arranged easily from Xanadu.

The cuisine, intimate private villa atmosphere and level of service is where Xanadu excels, and coupled with a beautiful design, it is hard to beat.

Xanadu offers all-inclusive packages however regular packages are not all-inclusive.
