Luxury Vacation
The Villa, Fleur De Lys
An 8-room boutique hotel on the beautiful south east coast of Zanzibar
Welcome to The Villa, Fleur de Lys – Your Tranquil Escape in Zanzibar.
Nestled on the serene southeast coast of Zanzibar, The Villa, Fleur de Lys is a charming boutique hotel with eight beautifully appointed rooms. Perched on an elevated location, the villa offers breath-taking views of the Indian Ocean, with its shimmering blue waters and stunning coral reef.
Designed for those seeking privacy, peace, and a relaxed atmosphere, The Villa, Fleur de Lys is the perfect retreat. Whether you’re booking a single room, a few rooms, or the entire villa, you’ll enjoy an intimate, personal experience far removed from the typical hotel stay.
During the day, watch traditional dhow boats sail by and local fisherwomen gather their daily catch. By night, relax under a canopy of brilliant stars. At high tide, the waves gently kiss the cliffside garden, where you can sit on the traditional baraza bench, soaking in the soothing rhythm of the ocean breeze.
Secluded yet welcoming, Villa Fleur de Lys is your home away from home—just 70 kilometres from Stone Town.
