As I was planning a stay for a group of four in Zanzibar after climbing Kilimanjaro, I thought Kikadini was an ideal find. Unfortunately, it has become a traveler’s nightmare. I contacted Kikadini four months before our planned stay, provided my credit card number and received a written confirmation. When another friend wanted to join us at the hotel, they... more

This is a beautiful Moroccan-style boutique hotel on the quiet, picturesque east coast of Zanzibar. It consists of five recently built villas with ten private suites. We stayed in Palm Villa 2. All of the villas and the hotel itself have been tastefully decorated with some excellent paintings and furniture to match the Moroccan architecture. It is right next to... more

We stayed for 8 days, and were treated to a wonderful holiday by the friendly and professional staff at Kikadini. The place is an architecural pearl with trememdous attention to detail, colour and light. Right on the beach we would have been happy to stay for many more weeks. The food is excellent and the drinks are cold. We'll be... more

This beautifully designed Morroccan style hotel certainly has the 'wow' factor! Sitting on the edge of a beautiful stretch of palm fringed beach is this fabulous oasis. We stayed in villa Pwani - our bedroom had doors opening out onto a shaded seating area overlooking the beautiful turquoise sea. We could go up onto a private roof terrace (although be... more

Kikadini Villas is located on Zanzibar's beautiful east coast, about an hour's taxi ride ($60) from Stone Town. The beach is pristine; the water warm, clean and stunningly beautiful. Kikadini's facilities are evocative of the region's Swahili/Arabic cultural roots. And no effort or expense is spared to delight the guests' senses. The accommodation is truly 5-star in every way and... more

We stayed at the Villa Kikadini complex for 5 nights. In summary, the place has huge potential with a beautiful location, great new complex and pool. It is definitely the nicest accomodation on Jambiani Beach and the recent huge investment should mean an even more fantastic place in the future. However, there has been an large influx of new staff,... more

I was curious to see that place, and discovered the most elegant and romantic accommodation on that coast. No big hotels or resorts next door, just local fishermen on the beach and excellent staff. GO !! it is a wonderful place. more

Kikadini Villas is beautiful and well appointed, and appears the most luxurious resort in Jambiani. The villas are constructed beautifully. The staff is attentive and accessible, but at the same time try to offer their services "at a distance" for privacy. The staff consists of a housekeeper, John the affable host, a waiter and the chef. The personal chef provides... more

We stayed in Villa Palm in July 2008 and just loved it! The villas are placed right at the beach, the place is beautifully furnished, the delicious meals are prepared by a private chef in the villa and you could not ask for more privacy. The staff is excellent and the owner is very helpful and friendly! We even canceled... more
