Kendwa Rocks Hotel

Kendwa Rocks Hotel

Kendwa Rocks Hotel is a vibrant beachfront resort located on the pristine northern shores of Zanzibar, where powdery white sands meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Famed for its laid-back charm, festive full moon parties, and breathtaking sunsets, Kendwa Rocks offers a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and tropical nightlife.

Set directly on one of the island’s few non-tidal beaches, the hotel invites guests to swim at any hour, unwind in palm-shaded hammocks, or dance barefoot under the stars. Whether you’re a solo traveler, couple, family, or group of friends, Kendwa Rocks provides an unforgettable Zanzibar experience filled with fun, freedom, and flair.

Location

Kendwa Rocks Hotel is situated in Kendwa Village on Zanzibar’s northern coast, approximately 3 km from Nungwi, 60 km (about 1.5 hours) from Zanzibar Stone Town, and 62 km from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Its ideal location allows guests to explore the vibrant north while enjoying a quieter, more serene beach setting.
