Elewana Kilindi Zanzibar




Overview
Where paradise and nature collide
Kilindi Zanzibar offers an authentic beach getaway for the discerning traveler longing for a true sense of nature. This gem in the world of luxury boutique hotels achieves synergy between Scandinavian minimalism and the powerful architectural nuances of Middle Eastern culture. Kilindi is a true fusion of the very best of diverse cultures that are to be found on the northern coast of Zanzibar.
There are a number of activities and excursions that Kilindi and the island has to offer. Enjoy a sensory Spice Tour, visit the historic Stone Town or, for a little more adventure, book yourself an exhilarating diving or snorkeling trip to explore the pristine underwater world around the island. An exquisite stretch of beach lies right in front of the hotel and offers endless beachtime and views over the Zanzibar Dhow Routes.
Set within 50 acres of abundant tropical gardens, all suites are a delight for the senses that deliver an open, natural atmosphere throughout. In each of Kilindi’s 15 Pavilion suites, cream-coloured walls, dome-shaped roofs and white wooden-slatted shutters render a sense of stillness and tranquility, while affording exceptional views over the Indian Ocean. In addition, the Pavilions have their own private plunge pools and a unique but mesmerizing ‘rainfall’ shower room attached. All this, along with a dedicated butler for all your service needs, ensures privacy is guaranteed.

South africa honeymoon
"Thank you for the best honeymoon we could’ve imagined! We spent 5 nights on safari at luxury lodges, followed by 3 nights in Cape Town, and ended our journey on a stunning private nature reserve. Everything ran seamlessly, and the team stayed in touch with us throughout. Words can’t describe how incredible the experience was."

"As a travel journalist who’s stayed at hundreds of hotels and worked with countless guides, I can confidently say Ker & Downey® Africa stands out. From handpicking exceptional properties to being available before 8am on a Saturday, their attention to detail and high-touch service made my South African journey seamless. I wouldn’t plan another trip to Africa without them."
