The Residence is an opulent and luxurious resort on Zanzibar's south-west coast.
This lavishly appointed hotel is located...
...on a lovely stretch of beach...
...in the quiet south-west of the island.
The resort has a well-equipped PADI dive centre.
There are 66 private villas...
...each with a private pool...
...which is around 8 metres long.
This plan shows the layout of the luxury villas.
Inside…
…the lounge is spacious...
...and leads into the bedroom.
...which in turn leads into the bathroom.
There's a stand-alone bath, twin washbasins...
indoor shower...
...outdoor shower...
and separate toilet.
Each villa has its own bikes for getting around this large resort.
The main swimming pool is a spectacular construction.
The 130-metre jetty...
…serves sundowners in the evening…
…and you can do watersports out here…
…during the day.
To sum up, the Residence is a large complex...
...without much of a Zanzibari feel...
...but in a scenic and accessible part of the island.
