The Resort along the Pool
EXPANSIVE MAIN POOL WITH CONVENIENT AMENITIES
The main pool stretches from the reception to the beach, totaling 185 meters (607 feet), and has two bridges along the way to cross dry-footed. On the sides of the pool are areas for enjoying your food or drink from the restaurant or coffee shop, as well as areas for sun beds both by the pool and in the pool. Small shops and cafés are also placed along the pool, and in the pool, you will find pool bars where you can swim up and get a drink.
ECO-FRIENDLY SALTWATER POOL SYSTEM
The main pool is a saltwater pool where sea water is filtered and pumped up to the end of the pool, from where it flows towards the beach and back to the sea with two waterfalls on the way. No chemicals are used or needed as the natural salt from the sea water keeps the pool free from bacteria. Naturally, levels are measured every day to ensure the safety of all guests.
The Resort bar & infinity pool
ROOFTOP BAR & INFINITY POOL
On top of the spa and the multicuisine restaurant is the greatest rooftop bar in Zanzibar, with the 25-meter (82 feet) long infinity pool. From here, you have the most beautiful view of not only the resort but all the way to the ocean. For early birds, it offers the most incredible sunrise views, and you are free to enjoy your breakfast here as well.
The rooftop bar serves both classic drinks like Martinis, Negroni, Daiquiri, Mojito, and whisky sour, as well as more modern versions like Espresso Martini and Amaretto Sour. Incredible non-alcoholic cocktails are also served, such as the Virgin Colada or Virgin Mojito, and other New Fusion non-alcohol cocktails, fresh juices, smoothies, and sodas.

the beach & the pier
BEACH CLUB
Where the main pool ends with the last waterfall, the beach begins. To the south, next to the Italian restaurant, is the Beach Club, which is open all day and serves drinks and food along with club music for guests looking to party. For guests not staying at the resort, there is an entrance fee to access the Beach Club.
BEACH RELAXATION AREA
To the north is the Beach Relaxation area, where massage services are available along with hammocks and sun beds. This is a quiet area with no music, just the soothing sound of the waves.
EXPLORING THE BEACH AND PIER
Walking from the Beach Relaxation area towards the middle of the beach, you will first pass the small circular pier with the Sailing Yacht, then the Beach Bar, until you find yourself back at the end of the main swimming pool. From here, a path leads towards the pier, splitting into two ends: one with a restaurant and the other with the Dive & Watersports Centre.
DIVE & WATERSPORTS CENTRE
The Dive & Watersports Centre offers snorkeling and diving trips to swim with the fish, along with training courses for PADI dive certificates. For non-dive days, there are jet-skiing, water-skiing, banana boat rides, and parachute rides to ensure you have fun all day on the water and by the beach.
