Konokona Beach Resort is located on the western tip of the Michamvi Peninsula on the east coast of Zanzibar. Built within a tropical forest overlooking Chwaka Bay it is quiet and remote. Here you can watch the sunset over the sea while sipping cocktails at the bar.
The reception area is set at the back of the property and leads out onto a path meandering through lush gardens past all villas to the front where you will find the swimming pool, restaurant and the enormous pristine white beach.
The fantastic news is that this area is not as tidal as others on Zanzibar’s east coast and hence this beach is one of the only that is swimmable all day long. Sun loungers are sporadically dotted along the beach under small thatch huts and here you can make to most of your beach time enjoying beach bar services of cocktails and light lunches.
There are four different villa types and all have the same amenities which include air conditioning, fans, mini bar, safe, TV, tea and coffee facilities and a plunge pool. They are all huge with slight design differences and are categorised sea view, garden view, family and beach. The villas are nestled discreetly in lush natural surroundings and are designed for guests to enjoy a peaceful experience.
The Jungle Health Spa will energise your body and mind to experience a perfect relaxing holiday. Highly trained staff offer purifying and invigorating treatments which include massages with essential oils.
There are 2 bars at Konokono Beach Resort. The Pool Bar offers views of the bay, a wide list of wine, cocktails, and light snacks from morning till night. The Beach Bar is right in the heart of the vast private beach of the resort and offers grilled fish at lunchtime and a selection of cocktails and snacks from morning till afternoon where beautiful sunsets are enjoyed.
