Ultimate Guide To Africa January 2015 | 页面 26

Feature destination Z anzibar’s rich cultural heritage is evident in the architecture of the resort’s buildings, which are a delightful mix of Arabic, African and European styles. The surrounding tropical gardens bring everything together, so much so that the buildings appear to emerge from the natural landscape rather than stand apart from it. Inviting wooden steps lead straight from the resort to the soft sands of Nungwi Beach, considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. The absence of strong tides here allows guests to swim, snorkel or kayak in the crystalclear jade waters with ease. The resort features 100 private, peaceful and luxuriously appointed oceanfront suites, each with a private balcony affording vi ews of the lush gardens and majestic sea beyond. Seventy-four of these are Luxury Junior Suites, which have, in addition to the just-mentioned balcony, a spacious bathroom featuring a practical and innovative dressing room. Thirteen are more spacious Prestige Junior Suites located in the corners of the resort and offering guests extra living space, private balconies and terraces, as well as spacious bathrooms with dressing areas. An Exclusive Privileged Area with direct access to the 26 garden beach, butler service, 24-hour room service, packing services, and complimentary a la carte dining houses seven Luxury Superior Junior Suites opportunely located adjacent to the resort spa, and two large Luxury Jacuzzi Suites with one or two bathrooms, Jacuzzi and large balcony. The Jacuzzi Suites include a large sofa bed in a separate, spacious living room, and can accommodate up to four guests. Further elevating the offering are three Prestige Beach Villas, each complete with two bathrooms, a separate living room, a private infinity pool, a covered balcony, and a large terrace. The crème de la crème of the Hideaway accommodation options is the 320 m2 Presidential Ocean Front Villa, which comprises three unique suites that can either be booked separately or together. The Presidential Villa provides VIP guests with a large private pool, Jacuzzi, stretching private terrace, spacious living and dining areas, and two mosaic-adorned outdoor shower rooms. Regardless of which type of accommodation chosen, all Hideaway guests will enjoy the modern five star conveniences of satellite TV, CD/DVD player, super king beds, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, and climate controlled air conditioning, to name just a few.
