Star of the East: alone at last!


The latest addition to the Planhotels group, which includes two other properties in Zanzibar, offers only 11 villas for virtually complete privacy. Tucked amid the lush vegetation, each is perfectly situated to afford a spectacular view of the Indian Ocean. Here too, an Italian architect, Germano Aghemo from Turin, is at the helm of the project. Care is taken with every detail to provide the utmost peace and quiet; each villa boasts a private pool, and a large salt water pool may easily be shared without stepping on other visitors’ toes. Recycled water and the use of local materials and solar panels limit the resort’s impact on the environment. With a clear conscience, guests can enjoy the Mvua Spa’s emphasis on natural resources ranging from flowers to spices, to regenerate the body and quiet the mind.
