Kilindi is a luxurious 15-unit piece of functional art scattered along a picturesque-perfect stretch of Northern Zanzibar.
Kilindi brings a welcome dash of pizazz to the island.
The style of the lodge is completely unique and according to the developer should be known as “Zanzibaroque, a homage to the unique synthesis of the island’s endemic social and historical culture”.
The fifteen luxurious, white-domed pavilions offer a beautiful living space with three separate sections – a bedroom, “wet-room” bathroom and “baraza” lounge. There is also a private plunge pool within each pavilion where you can cool off during the heat of the day.
The bedrooms are perfectly simple and clean in design with wonderful shutter doors that open out at the end of the bed so you can enjoy the views and cool breeze. The beds are huge with soft duvets and crisp white cotton linen, which adds to the indulgence.
The “wet room” is a few steps away in a separate domed pavilion which is very light and open to the outside elements but still discrete. There are two separate washbasins whilst from the centre of the dome hang a powerful hot “drench” shower, which is wonderful, and works off the lodges own water collection system.
