Romantic places to stay in zanzibar

Kichanga – One of the Most Romantic Stays In All of Zanzibar

The Zanzibar archipelago, and Unguja (or more commonly known as Zanzibar island) is an idyllic destination for plenty of romance. The island features a wide range of luxury resorts for romantic getaways on the scenic beaches dotted with palm trees, fringed by coral reef bordered lagoons, and the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Introducing, Kichanga Lodge. Understated, quiet luxury. Where less is, well….a lot more.

Kichanga, it’s design, decor and it’s people are there to supplement, not to intrude. We understand that our guests want attention when they want it; that our environment and vibe supports, doesn’t dominate. Kichanga allows you to dream, to be your real you. Unintrusive. Fun.

Where you can connect with yourself, your loved one and nature’s rhythms. Enjoy an upscale intimate dinner, sit, sun yourself by the pool with a cocktail, walk hand-in-hand on the beach or gaze at the beautiful ocean from your villa’s balcony. With beautiful island resorts like Kichanga Lodge, you and your significant other will have a relaxing romantic holiday in Zanzibar.

Property

Kichanga Lodge is nestled within swaying palms in Michamvi on the South-Eastern coastline of the island. The luxury, earthy boutique lodge has spacious villas and bungalows well-appointed with modern facilities. The lodge charms the guests in its wooden framed airy bungalows and thatched roofs with private balconies and a view of the green and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. At Kichanga Lodge, the main catchphrase is privacy. This means lovers and couples can easily enjoy their romantic holiday in seclusion. Once you lodge here, you are left alone in your holiday musings, a sense of remoteness from the rest of the island, until you’re ready to engage. The surrounding is spectacular and will enhance your already fantastic stay.

Every guest has privacy which is the watchword in the lodge. Kichanga Lodge has an open lounge, restaurant, and bar that are built on the beach. The pool has sea views that couples can enjoy while dripping wet and taking the cocktail.
