our LXRY! hotel selection
We have some criteria before we can call a hotel a LXRY! Selection Hotel. We want to be surprised, we need luxury and hospitality at a high level, we love the quality of food and the rooms, we think the location is super important, and….we want to memorize the hotel for a lifetime! So you will not find basic chain hotels that look similar in all countries but truly found local gems that are different and memorable.

A sanctuary of peace and harmony – an intimate and personalized luxury experience of Zanzibar, on the spectacular white sandy beachfront of Paje
Zanzibar White Sand has set its anchor down along the eastern coast of the archipelago of Zanzibar. In the heart of a luxurious ecosystem, the establishment has had the finesse to integrate itself in complete discretion.
Each villa is nestled in tropical vegetation, refreshed by the Indian Ocean, and has a living area of 500 sq. meters located within a 1500 sq. meters lush garden for complete privacy.
The restaurant serves local fish and produces from the vegetable garden, which is subtly enhanced by the famous spices of Zanzibar that may also be found as the foundations for the spa’s original treatments.
Whether diving or kitesurfing, the warm turquoise waters of the beach are the ideal playgrounds after a safari on continental Africa.
The unique architecture of each villa has been specially designed to blend in the natural beauty of the setting and is uncompromising when it comes to luxury standards. Interiors have been decorated with carefully selected antiques and the highest quality designs.
Each villa faces the seafront and consists of two units connected by a garden with a terrace and private pool. The main part of the villa is a day area with a stunning high-ceiling lounge and dining section. The second part is a resting area including a bedroom with a king-size bed, dressing closet, and bathroom with rain shower as well as an outdoor bathtub.
a thoughtful place to stay on the remote southern coast of Zanzibar
Kizikula is a personal project by two childhood friends (one with Zanzibari roots) who grew up in Dubai and used to dream about retiring in Zanzibar. When an opportunity to buy land on the sleepy coast of Kizimkazi came up in their early careers, there was no hesitation. decades later, they are building a few small humble guest houses and a pool and restaurant on the land that will host them and their friends and families when they are in Zanzibar and welcome guests to enjoy this quiet and rugged part of Zanzibar during the rest of the year.
Kizikula is designed to feel like a communal home with ample spaces to meet your neighbors and just enough privacy to be inspired by the surrounding sensual nature.
Apart from simple, thoughtful, personal dwellings, Kizikula will introduce you to and inspire you with music, art, literature, and film. Food and body practices are important to us. our cuisine is inspired by local cultures and produce. The pavilions are designed with yoga, meditation, and Movnat inspired practices in mind. Kizimkazi’s beautiful sunsets are best appreciated from the sea-facing pool and bar. The spacious indulgent rooftops accessible throughout Kizikula are designed to take in the awe-inspiring starry nights.
