La Gemma Del Est Resort - Zanzibar

La Gemma Del Est Resort is located on the North West coast of Zanzibar, near to Kendwa Rocks, on a magnificent stretch of beach.

The beauty of this side of the island is that it is not as affected as the East by the tidal fluctuations.

One is able to swim during low and high tide.

Even though there is a great beach, the Hotel has built the most massive swimming pool on the island with a sunken bar on the northern end where one is able to enjoy cocktails.

La Gemma Del Est Resort has been styled on a modern European style, ignoring the Zanzibar style, in which most other resorts have been built.

Large white plastic tarpaulins greet you as you enter the main gate.

The restaurant area is beautifully decorated using glass windows and water features, all very chic and modern.

The hotel has blended the room in a terracota and brown colour scheme.

The hotel only has one restaurant and 3 bars. The restaurant is situated on the hilltop.

A large entertainment area is built on a pontile out in the ocean.

From the deck in the evening, one can watch the fish swimming in the floodlit ocean.
