Xanadu Villas

About

Xanadu is designed for privacy, comfort, and elevated barefoot luxury. This intimate retreat comprises just a handful of individually designed villas, each unique in form and character, yet all sharing a commitment to personalised service, sustainability, and refined hospitality. The property places a strong emphasis on bespoke experiences, where every guest’s stay is curated around their preferences.

Rooms

Each of the seven villas at Xanadu is a private sanctuary, complete with its own plunge pool, spacious living areas, and a dedicated butler. Interiors are stylish yet earthy, featuring curved walls, hand-carved wood, and intricate detailing that reflect Zanzibar’s cultural heritage. The villas vary in size, catering to couples and families alike, and all open out onto private gardens or the beach.

Dining

Dining at Xanadu is a personalised journey, with no set menu or dining location. Instead, guests are offered a bespoke culinary experience tailored daily by the resident chef, using the freshest local ingredients and seafood. Meals can be enjoyed in the privacy of your villa, on the beach, or in the garden, with flavours drawing from Swahili, Middle Eastern, and international influences.

Activity

Guests at Xanadu can enjoy a curated range of activities, from snorkelling in the nearby Blue Lagoon and sailing on a traditional dhow, to exploring Stone Town and visiting local spice farms. Yoga sessions, spa treatments, and leisurely days by the beach or poolside provide a relaxing balance to active pursuits. With its warm hospitality, Xanadu is ideal for those seeking tranquility and cultural richness.
