How They Dazzle Us

Set in lush tropical gardens, fronting the incredible beaches of Zanzibar, this Landing offers a sense of history and fairy-tale coupled with romantic intimacy and environmental wonder. It is a very special place and it is no wonder that the owners proudly proclaim that ‘any stay at Kilindi will not only become a memory of a lifetime, but also the standard to surpass in the future.’ This Landing was built for music superstar Benny Andersson of ABBA and Chess fame which means it brings with it both an air of rock star glamour and Scandinavian minimalism. Add to this the natural influences of Zanzibar’s overt Middle Eastern heritage and you have a Landing that feels truly unique, in a location that is world class.

Why We Love Them

A stay at Kilindi is a delight for the senses. Visually it is incredible, but it is so much more than that. Each of the Landing’s suites feature white wood-slatted shutters that embrace wide-arched, glassless windows, each affording spectacular views over the Indian Ocean. This same openness allows the gentle ocean breeze to waft throughout each of the rooms and to carry with it the delightful soundtrack of Kilindi's colourful birdlife.

Their Sustainable Superpower

Kilindi's 'open-to-nature' approach provides the true essence to any stay and it crafts a private, intimate and 'barefoot' appeal that so many crave. If you love nature, you will adore Kilindi. From the tropical forests to the colourful fishes and corals that can be viewed in abundance just meters from the shore, this is a natural paradise. And the owners go all out to preserve the environment and to manage waste and resources properly. It should probably go without saying, but Landings on tropical islands tend to have heightened awareness of phenomena like rising sea levels and their causes and they act consciously to curb this.
