Guests can choose from several accommodation types, including Villas with ocean views, Junior Suites nestled in palm groves, and Infinity Villas perched above cliffs. The resort features three swimming pools, tennis courts, a fitness center, and Samawati Spa with private ocean-view treatment rooms. A floating restaurant, Le Grand Bleu, specializes in seafood, while Bondeni Restaurant serves fusion dishes. Guided excursions include Stone Town tours, spice plantations visits, and dolphin spotting at Chwaka Bay. Karafuu provides direct beach access, including a 200-meter path leading to a natural swimming pool at low tide. Wimbi 'Padi' Diving Center offers professional equipment and instructors for exploring Zanzibar's coral reefs.
