The Seyyida Hotel and Spa, a boutique hotel standing proudly on the edge of Zanzibar’s Stone Town , captures the spirit and romance of a town whose history has been written by the monsoon winds. With striking views of the harbour , promenade, and turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean on one side and the mesmerising narrow streets of the stone town on the other. The Seyyida is perfectly located in this magical town that has retained its authenticity of an era gone by. Stone Town’s historical buildings are a walking distance from the hotel and every twist and turn guarantees the visitor a unique experience of this living and breathing UNESCO World Heritage site which has proudly brought together elements of the African, Arabian, Indian and European cultures.
The Hotel’s name “Seyyida” takes us back to an era in the Island’s history when the term Seyyida was used when addressing female Arab Royals. The 17-room property with inner garden courtyards, archways, marble floors and Zanzibar doors has been carefully designed to emulate Swahili ,Arabic and Portuguese architecture. The Lulu Restaurant and Lounge area overlooking the beautiful Indian ocean allows you to enjoy cool delicious cocktails whilst enjoying the sunset. All aspects of The Seyyida have been carefully designed to offer our guests a charming and timeless experience.
