The Wine Lounge and Terrace

An up-market and intimate space for you to enjoy the finer things in life. Browse premium labels and vintages, select a speciality cigar, taste their tapas or just pop by for a post-dinner nightcap.

In

Browse the curios and artworks in the bazaars and markets or just mosey around the mosques and temples. If the history of rock music is your passion, you can even check out the birthplace of the legendary Freddie Mercury!

Board a traditional wooden dhow and set sail for Prison Island, a former detention centre for the African slaves, nowadays just the spot for a sunbathe or snorkel with giant tortoises.

If nature is your thing, chance a sighting of bottle-nosed or humpback dolphins then head south on a deep wall dive and explore the local marine life amidst world-class coral reefs.

If you only have a couple of hours:

Need a work out? Head to the outdoor gym and loosen up those travel weary limbs on a running machine or flex those muscles on the cross-trainer.

Looking for a thrill? Try your hand at kite-surfing or trek the forest in search of red Colobus monkeys and the fabled Zanzibar leopard.

Just prefer to chill? Salute the sun with yoga at the ocean's edge, languish in the grand infinity pool or indulge in a hydrotherapy treatment at the Spa. Why not inspire your artistic leanings with a stroll through the gallery featuring paintings, sculptures, glassworks and photographs from the local and regional artistic community. When dusk rolls in, step onto the deck of a traditional dhow, sip at sundowners and cruise into the setting African sky. Bon Voyage!
