Kendwa
Luxury beachfront resorts, tide-free swimming & legendary full moon parties
About Kendwa
Kendwa is Zanzibar's most exclusive beach stretch — a seamless curve of white sand lined with luxury resorts and boutique hotels. Just south of Nungwi, Kendwa shares the same tide-free swimming conditions but with a more refined, resort atmosphere. The full moon parties at Kendwa Rocks are legendary, drawing revellers from across the island. During the day, the beach is blissfully calm — crystal-clear water, swaying palms, and attentive service from the resorts that line the shore.
