Each of the 51 rooms
is cool, white and
constructed to the
traditional design
of a Swahili house,
which is dependant
upon the length of
the mangrove poles
that make up its
ceilings. Adorned
with arched niches,
antique plates and
brass lamps and
featuring
traditionally carved
furniture,
cool-ceramics,
intricate fretwork,
draped beds and
louver doors giving
onto wrought-iron
balconies
overlooking the
Persian-bath pool
and azure bay
beyond, each room
reflects a blend of
essential Zanzibar
and world-class
elegance.
Dining: Constructed
so that the waves
lap to within inches
of its open windows
and the
lateen-sailed dhows
pass within metres
of its tables, the
Baharia Restaurant
features lazily
whirring fans, a
jewel-glass atrium,
mangrove-pole
ceiling, fretwork
screens, Omani
carvings, Persian
rugs and bright
Swahili artefacts.
Services include:
Satellite TV,
air-conditioning in
all rooms, mini-bar,
in-room safe,
telephone,
hair-dryer, full
housekeeping
services (laundry,
valet, babysitting,
children’s menus and
dining options and
shoeshine) plus full
medical back-up;
Luxury swimming pool
and sun-deck;
Sumptuous beauty
