About this stay
The Seyyida Hotel and Spa occupies a characterful building on the edge of Zanzibar Stone Town, its rooms individually decorated with carved wooden four poster beds, mosquito net canopies and Swahili antiques that reflect the town centuries of trading history. Suites range from garden facing rooms to sea view balconies overlooking the harbour and the Indian Ocean beyond. The hotel has an outdoor pool, spa, and a rooftop terrace popular for sundowners over the water, plus easy walking access to Stone Town UNESCO World Heritage sites, markets and restaurants. It suits travelers who want a boutique, culturally immersive base rather than a resort style beach stay.
