Overview & Features
Kendwa Rocks Hotel
Kendwa Rocks Hotel is a celebrated landmark on the tranquil northwest coast of Zanzibar, cradled by the soft caress of palm trees and the gentle lull of turquoise waters. Upon arrival, you are welcomed by a vibrant blend of local architecture and natural beauty; the reception area pulses with life, showcasing artistry that reflects the warmth of the island's culture. The lobby is adorned with intricately designed crafts and decoration that immediately instill a sense of comfort and home, while the sound of cascading water from the central courtyard fountain soothes as you transition into the heart of the hotel. Ample outdoor spaces invite leisurely moments as guests indulge in breathtaking sunset views from the Beach House, a three-story invitation to relax by the sea. The Rocks Spa, perched on the rooftop, encourages pampering with its range of treatments, from hot stone massages to revitalizing facials, all designed to rejuvenate both body and spirit. At the hotel's dedicated restaurant, a daily specials menu awaits, unveiling a world of culinary delights - an homage to flavors from across the globe.
