Salum, the concierge, he was nice and clearly worked crazy hard. We really appreciated him and how he tried to make our stay good.

Amazing hotel, very secluded, beautiful grounds and villas. The property is set across a large hill overlooking the sea, all villas are individually designed and very spacious, there are many animals roaming free, a good selection of activities, the food was exceptional and members of staff friendly and helpful. Very relaxing holiday and would highly recommend.

I’ve never been anywhere like this before! It’s a series of small hamlets with separate room and bathroom and chill areas. So special. Completely private you can walk around naked it’s very isolated for each room.

“A private and paradise like retreat in secluded Zanzibar.”
When talking about the greatness of Kilindi, we could talk about the amazing villa, the exquisite food, the privacy, the incredible private beach with turquoise water and plenty of activities to do, or the attention to detail. But what made our experience a 10 out of 10 was the excellent attention from our villa host Salum. Salum made sure that we were comfortable at every moment, that every detail was as expected and that we weren't missing a drink or snack for a second. He also took such good care of my wife's severe allergy to nuts, double checking every meal with the chef. He made us feel so welcome and taken care of and made the difference in this beautiful resort. Would 100% recommend.

“Great for Honey Moon and relaxation”
Beautiful location, attentive staff, recommend getting ocean view villa, have a private pool and plunge pool. The local wildelife bush baby's or monkeys can be a slight annoyance if choosing to have meals at villa, just means cannot leave food unattended. If you have any anxiety about insects/ crawlies - the lizards and occasional spider may frighten you. But otherwise their presence isnt a concern. The villa themselves are beautiful every day the staff leave a little sweet treat after cleaning your room.

Absolutely incredible stay and would recommend to anyone. We came here on our honeymoon and were unsure of spending the premium but we are so glad we did. The lodges are incredible and the staff treat you so well, our host (kind of like a butler) Salom, was so helpful and accommodating. We had a floating breakfast in our own private pool one morning, and then Kilindi organised a special seafood meal at the beach with sparkling wine as it was our honeymoon which was an absolutely amazing experience at sunset. All the food was delicious, the beach is beautiful, there are monkeys everywhere, definitely recommend!
