The Oloi Selects view of Kilindi Zanzibar
Kilindi is built around the villa rather than the resort. These notes come from trade listings, and we mark the points we verify.
At a glance
- Fifteen domed villas on a 35-acre estate.
- About 500 m of private beach and a 24 m T-shaped infinity pool.
- Personal butlers.

Who it suits
Couples and honeymooners who want a private villa with butler service on the beach.
Who it does not suit
Guests who want a lively beach scene, families who need a published children’s programme, and anyone who wants to stay inside Stone Town.
Its place in a route
A natural finish to a safari, with two to four nights. Transfer time from the airport is confirmed in your quote.
Families
The sources we checked do not give a children’s policy or a minimum age. We confirm this in your quote.
Getting there
About an hour by road from Stone Town. We confirm this in your quote. Zanzibar and Pemba are malaria areas, and our quotes include yellow fever and malaria guidance.
What the rate usually excludes
Inclusions are not stated in the sources we checked. We confirm this in your quote.
What we would choose instead
For a larger resort with a published children’s offer, we look at Zuri Zanzibar. For a smaller adults-only stay on the east coast, we look at The Palms Zanzibar.
