Rooms and places to stay in Kendwa
Kendwa is a long, wide beach of soft white sand on the north-west coast of Zanzibar, a short walk or tuk-tuk ride south of Nungwi. The water stays swimmable through the tides, and the sunsets over the Indian Ocean are among the best on the island.
It is quieter than Nungwi in the day, with beach bars along the sand, and known for its full-moon parties once a month. Boat trips for snorkelling and to Tumbatu leave from the beach.
Rooms in Kendwa suit people who want to swim every day, from couples on holiday to people staying a month or more and working from the island.
