Hidden within a gently sloping olive grove on Kendwa Beach, Kilindi Zanzibar offers an ultra-intimate retreat defined by minimalistic elegance and barefoot luxury. With only 15 one- or two-bedroom villas arranged along the elevated dunes, the resort delivers unparalleled privacy and stunning views of the turquoise Indian Ocean.

Each villa features clean, modern architecture with whitewashed walls, vaulted ceilings, and open-air living areas that blur the lines between indoors and outdoors. Thoughtfully designed private pools, deep soaking bathtubs, and natural ventilation enhance the sense of seclusion and calm. The expertly curated gardens, pathways, and minimalist aesthetic reflect a commitment to refined simplicity.

Kilindi’s dining experience further elevates the stay with fine fusion cuisine served under tropical star-lit evenings. Meals are crafted from local ingredients and served in elegant communal settings or more private terraces. Beyond tranquility, guests can dive the nearby coral reefs, explore Mnemba Atoll, or unwind with yoga and spa treatments in the beachfront pavilion.
