Gold Zanzibar

Gold Zanzibar is a 5 stars resort located on the fine white sandy beach of Kendwa, on the North west side of the island.

Set on the powder white sands of Kendwa on Zanzibar’s north west coast, Gold Zanzibar is a refined five star retreat where space, privacy, and natural beauty come together effortlessly. Here, each evening unfolds with extraordinary African sunsets, while the calm, non tidal waters allow for uninterrupted swimming and ocean experiences at any time of day. With just 76 rooms and private villas spread across expansive tropical grounds, the resort offers a sense of tranquillity and exclusivity, complemented by architecture that blends African and Arab influences with contemporary elegance.


Accommodation is designed with both comfort and style in mind. The Deluxe Garden and Ocean View rooms offer generous living space with views across lush gardens or the Indian Ocean, while Suites and Suite Pavilions place you just moments from the beach, ideal for those seeking a close connection to the sea. For ultimate privacy, the Jungle Villas are set within tropical gardens and feature two bedrooms, open air living spaces, and private pools, creating a secluded sanctuary for families or couples.


Dining at the resort is a celebration of flavour and variety. With two restaurants and two bars, guests can enjoy a blend of international cuisine and fresh local dishes, carefully curated by chefs drawing inspiration from culinary traditions around the world. From relaxed daytime dining to elegant evening meals, every experience is designed to satisfy and delight.


Wellbeing is woven into every stay. The spa offers a range of restorative treatments using Healing Earth products, inspired by Africa’s natural elements, while a fully equipped gym is available around the clock for those looking to stay active.


For adventure seekers, the resort’s location offers exceptional access to the ocean. A fully equipped water sports centre provides everything from diving and deep sea fishing to wind and kite surfing, alongside boat excursions to explore nearby islands and hidden beaches. Guided experiences and personalised outings can also be arranged, ensuring every guest can discover Zanzibar in their own way.


Gold Zanzibar is more than a beach escape. It is a place where relaxed luxury, vibrant culture, and the beauty of the Indian Ocean come together to create an experience that is both enriching and unforgettable.

Review

Why this Camp..?

(According to Google Reviews)

Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa is a 5-star resort located on Kendwa Beach, widely regarded as one of the best beach stretches in Zanzibar due to its white sands and minimal tidal changes. Based on recent reviews from March 2026, the resort maintains high satisfaction scores across major platforms.


Exceptional Staff: Guests frequently praise the attentive service, often naming specific staff members like Issa, Ali, and Chef Warren for going above and beyond. 

Prime Beach & Pool: The beach is noted for being "out of this world" with crystal-clear water and plenty of shade. The large pool is also a major highlight. 

Spacious Accommodation: Rooms, suites, and villas are described as very large, clean, and often having a "fairytale" feel. 

Dining Variety: The buffet at Kilimanjaro restaurant and the themed BBQ nights on the beach receive high marks for freshness and variety. 



Common Guest Criticisms

High On-Site Costs: Guests not on the All-Inclusive package have reported high prices for water ($3), coffee, and lunch (~€20). 

Outdated Elements: Some reviewers feel certain rooms or bathrooms are "old-fashioned" or "tired" and in need of renovation. 

Beach Vendors: While common in Zanzibar, some guests found the persistent local vendors on the beach intrusive.
