The Zanzibar Serena Inn is situated in a fantastic location in the heart of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
A converted 18th century house, the rooms are decorated in traditional Swahili style and have spacious balconies, some of which have comfy hammocks overlooking the sea.
Spend the day exploring the colourful spice markets, winding streets and old palaces of Stone Town before returning to the Serena Inn for a cooling drink beside the inviting swimming pool. Not to be missed is a visit to the Mangapwani Beach Club – a gorgeous stretch of pristine white sand where you'll enjoy a delicious seafood barbecue.
A member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Serena Inn has been styled to represent the epitome of Swahili style and elegance combined with Arabic opulence.
