Overview
Michamvi's Rare Geography
The peninsula's position allows both sunrise over the ocean and sunset over the lagoon from the same stretch of coast.
The Zawadi Hotel occupies the tip of the Michamvi Peninsula on Zanzibar's east coast, a stretch of coastline unusual for offering both sunrise views over open ocean and sunset views over a calmer lagoon from the same peninsula. The adults-oriented boutique resort features private plunge pools and an infinity pool positioned to capture both ends of the day, with the historic Jozani Forest, home to Zanzibar's endemic red colobus monkeys, a short drive inland.
