Overview

Kilindi brings a welcome dash of pizazz to the island. Standing watch over the time-honoured Dhow Routes, along a crescent of coral-bright sand, each of the fifteen pavilions embrace cascading rain-water pools, lush tropical gardens and domed private spaces of rest, indulgence and well-being.

Like many, the owners of Kilindi believe that high-yield/low volume tourism is the only way forward for tourism in developing countries, and that luxury in Africa is not something that can be commoditised and branded, it can only be experienced.

Experience is the new luxury.

Accommodation

Each pavilion has been carefully designed and crafted to maximise the light and space, drawing the eye to the views around, rather than the knick-knacks inside.

The domes collect the rainwater, the sleeping areas straddle its storage, and the pools circulate it. They call this logically-eco, rather than eco-logical, because it seems the obvious thing to do.

Environment and local community

The logically-eco ethos continues further, with solar power, a state-of-the-art water treatment plant that recycles the waste water for reuse in toilets and gardens. Kilindi seek to make bold claims about sustainable, responsible resource management, spreading their pavilions across 50 acres and 500 m of beach front to ensure that the land is used wisely with minimal impact to the environment.

The resort also uses fresh locally grown produce and opperates a profit share initiative with local comunity partners.

Our opinion

This beautiful new resort, unique in style within Zanzibar, is now well established amongst the very best that Zanzibar has to offer. Feedback from guests so far has been extremely positive, with reports of very high standards of personal service and glowing comments about the location, staff, food, and World Class Spa facilities. The Pure Zanzibar team stayed here in October 2009 and we are consequently confident in placing Kilindi up with The Palms, Baraza, and Fundu Lagoon as the best resorts in the whole Zanzibar archipelago. Pavilions 3, 5, and 11 also have fantastic roof top gardens!

We believe that this resort is a bold statement of style and ethos and a welcome addition to Zanzibar.
