The Residence Zanzibar - Spicy luxury

Zanzibar is all the rage, and in recent months there has been a steady stream of projects in the archipelago. Here's a concrete example: The Residence Zanzibar, the first establishment in the country to be awarded the Leading Hotels of the World label.

It's all luxury, spread across 66 villas with private terraces and pools in the middle of a coconut grove facing a kilometre-long stretch of sand. Set in the heart of the tropical gardens, the spa is also on the same wavelength. The style of the establishment is contemporary, designed by the architects of Bangkok's Metropolitan.
