Kupaga Villas Boutique Hotel ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA


With its breathtaking ocean views and impeccable attention to detail, this boutique hotel embodies quiet barefoot luxury. Located on the bustling southeast coast of the island, Jambiani is an up-and-coming fishing village that offers a more peaceful and relaxing experience than the nearby backpacking centre of Paje, while still giving access to the lively international party scene. The coastline in the south east exhibits extreme


tides, creating dramatic views at low tide of shallow lagoons with seaweed farms and beached wooden sailboats scattered across the sand. Watching the women tend the farms and carry large baskets back to shore, travellers gain a unique glimpse into local life. As the tide rises, the men head out for a day of fishing or return on their dhow sailboats with wicker baskets full of fish and crustaceans. The property is designed so that the star of the show — the white-sand beach — is always in sight. The wide tidal range, seasonal winds and warm


water make the area a kitesurfer’s paradise. The shallow, waist-deep waters are ideal for beginners as well as for those looking to perfect their


freestyling techniques. At high tide, colourful kites drift across the sky, creating a playful backdrop to beachside cocktails. The hotel offers guests complimentary access


to a modern gym. Spa treatments incorporate the aromas of the age-old spice trade and are sure to ease any guest in need of relaxation. Once the epicentre of the spice trade, Zanzibar has


always been a melting pot of cultures and flavours. The hotel’s restaurant attracts guests from across the island with its Afro-fusion cuisine and carefully curated wine list. The menu features dishes and drinks made with local ingredients and infused with Indian, Latin, Asian and European influences. A wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic cocktails and superfood smoothies ensures there’s something for every guest. Kupaga Villas Boutique Hotel is the essence


of the understated destination. Its guest-centric approach puts even first-time travellers at ease, while offering immersive experiences such as Swahili cooking classes, seaweed farm visits and dhow sailing cruises.
