Is the Bawe Island for Me?

Located on a private 30-hectare island just 15 minutes by speedboat from Stone Town, Bawe Island Resort offers an exclusive retreat in the heart of Zanzibar. This intimate luxury resort features 70 elegant villas, each complete with a private pool and personalised butler service.

The accommodation options range from spacious 200-sqm Sunrise Villas with stunning dawn views to spectacular overwater Lagoon Suites floating above crystal-clear waters. For the ultimate indulgence, the 500-sqm Sultan Palace provides an unparalleled luxury experience across two levels.

The resort’s four distinct restaurants offer a unique “dine around” concept, allowing you to savour diverse culinary experiences from authentic Asian flavours at Rising Sun to Italian classics at Sinfonia.

With world-class facilities including a spa, water sports centre, and tennis courts, complemented by modern amenities and exceptional service, Bawe Island creates an unforgettable island escape.
