Welcome to Kasha

A quiet kind of luxury.

Kasha sits on a coral cliff above clear aqua water on Zanzibar's north-east coast, close to the island's best excursions and beaches, yet wonderfully private.

Designed for couples, honeymooners and close friends, every room opens onto its own Swahili-style terrace. Most come with a private plunge pool, deck beds and nothing between you and the Indian Ocean but the morning light.

The Cliff

Wake to the sunrise. Swim above the sea.

Perched above the reef, Kasha faces east, so every morning begins with the sun rising out of the Indian Ocean. At low tide you can step straight down to the shore, and at high tide our team will walk you around to the beach, just five minutes away.
