Summary

With over seventy rooms that are round huts with straw roofs known as rondavels, many of which are located on the beach front and all of which are tastefully decorated in twenty acres of landscaped gardens, the Sultan Sands Island resort offers a unique Zanzibar experience.

The rondavels offer spacious bedrooms, bathrooms, verandas and air conditioning and are furnished with traditional Zanzibar-style furniture. There are two categories of rooms, known as the Pwani and the Bahari, both of which offer the experience of staying in small villa on the edge of the beach.

In our opinion

In our opinion, if you are looking for an affordable Zanzibar holiday (particularly out of season) then the Sultan Sands Island resort has a lot to offer.

The resort is very modern and stylish and offers excellent value for money - particularly for families and groups, as well as the expansive white beaches of Kiwengwa.

The Bahari Rooms are the original La Villa Beach Club rooms but modernised and refurbished to be at par with the newer Pwani Rooms. They still bear the original concept of La Villa: right at the Ocean edge, toes-in-the-sand theme. They are all Sea front and Sea View. A supplement is aplicable for this room category over the Pwani Rooms.

Prior to the extension of the Hotel, La Villa Club was an intimate 20-roomed facility and even within Sultan Sands, the atmosphere of this old wing remains pretty much the same. The rooms are varied in size and structure within this accommodation category, and they coalesce around the original, small swimming pool.
