Zanzibar Serena Hotel

Stone Town Luxury Lodge

Zanzibar Serena Hotel is a masterpiece of coastal elegance blending Swahili heritage with world-class luxury. Carefully restored from two historic seafront buildings — an 18th-century Chinese doctor's residence and the 19th-century Extelcoms House — this iconic hotel contributed to Stone Town's UNESCO World Heritage recognition. All 51 rooms and suites feature private balconies with sweeping Indian Ocean views, high ceilings, carved wood furniture, brass lanterns and antique ceramics. Two restaurants — the Terrace Seafood Restaurant and Baharia Restaurant — serve international, Swahili and seafood cuisine. Complete with a spa, pool, 24-hour room service and backup generator. The finest address in Stone Town.
