Zanzibar
The Echo Beach Hotel resort offers visitors a slice of paradise on the dreamy tropical island of Zanzibar.
Zanzibar is famous for having the best beaches in the world and Echo Beach in particular has a very special charm. Views from the palm-fringed sands reveal the hand-sewn sails of traditional wooden fishing dhows, and ocean explorers can discover the glorious depths of the thriving coral reefs all around. The sun shimmers on luminescent clear waters in a range of striking turquoise blues and the sand is white clean, bright and delicately fine.
With a refreshing breeze blowing in from the sea, guests can unwind and relax with a decadent cocktail in the stylish bar area, where designer fabrics are teamed with Zanzibar carved furnishings.
Dining in the beachside restaurant, decorated with designers guild fabric, in the white and turquoise of the seashore is a highly pleasurable experience, with discreet and efficient service. For those who want to get the true taste of Zanzibar there is a wealth of fresh local food on the menu, not to mention some carefully selected International favourites. The ultimate in fresh fare, produce is purchased daily, including lobster, crab, mussels and squid straight from local fisherman who come to the beach.
On the 5 acre stretch of unspoilt beach, this unique boutique hotel has just 9 individual villas combining unpretentious African architecture with state of the art technology, interior design, fixtures and fittings.
The individually designed villas are constructed from local stone, capped with Makuti roofs. Each one has an exquisitely hand carved balcony and veranda where guests can enjoy a drink in the shade. They are all completely private and not overlooked, allowing visitors to relish the unspoilt surroundings and uninterrupted views of the beautiful Indian Ocean.
