Northern Zanzibar
Our Location
Where tropical tranquility meets island adventure
Where We Are
Northern Zanzibar, Kendwa
Hamia Zanzibar occupies a peaceful, privately fenced compound in the northern tip of Zanzibar island — one of the most sought-after areas for holidaymakers. We’re tucked away from the bustle, yet perfectly connected to everything.
The northern coast of Zanzibar is famous for its year-round warm waters, spectacular sunsets, and vibrant marine life. It’s the part of the island where the ocean stays calm and swimmable regardless of the tide — unlike the east coast.
