Kilindi brings a welcome dash of pizazz to the island. The style of the lodge is completely unique and according to the developer should be known as “Zanzibaroque, a homage to the unique synthesis of the island’s endemic social and historical culture”.
The fifteen luxurious, white-domed pavilions offer a beautiful living space with three seperate sections – a bedroom, “wet-room” bathroom and “baraza” lounge. There is also a private plunge pool within each pavilion where you can cool off during the heat of the day.
The bedrooms are perfectly simple and clean in design with wonderful shutter doors that open out at the end of the bed so you can enjoy the views and cool breeze. The beds are huge with soft duvets and crisp white cotton linen which adds to the indulgence.
The “wet room” is a few steps away in a seperate domed pavilion which is very light and open to the outside elements but still discrete. There are two seperate washbasins whilst from the centre of the dome hangs a powerful hot “drench” shower which is wonderful and works off the lodge’s own water collection system.
Below all of this is the “baraza” area which has a day-bed, deck chairs, tables, “sailcloth” shade and access to the private plunge pool. A great area to chill out and enjoy the breeze and view.
The restaurant is within the main pavilion alongside a wonderful bar with waterfall backdrop. The food is superb and easily the best we have ever experienced on the island. The bar has a wonderful range of cocktails, an extensive wine list and an “espresso” coffee machine, all of which are served with real professionalism.
Next to the main pavilion is the large infinity pool and decking area looking right out over the sea and beach. Set further back into the gardens is the in-house “uShwari” spa offering a full range of massages and beauty treatments.
The local dive operator “Scuba-Doo” is available should you wish to arrange any scuba diving or snorkeling through the lodge.
Kilindi’s unique character, style and high level of service makes it very a special place for couples looking to relax in privacy.
