Based on the personal pursuit of sustainable luxury in paradise, the privately-owned Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa will open its doors officially on June 1.

Designed by architect Neil Rocher, Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa is designed as an intimate retreat, featuring 11 sanctuary-style oceanfront villas complete with private pool, a high ceiling lounge and dining area, separate bedroom with king size bed, dressing closet, bathroom with  rain shower and outdoor bathtub. Tropical vegetation surrounds each villa, ensuring absolute seclusion and privacy.

What sets Zanzibar White Sand Luxury Villas & Spa apart in the five-star stratosphere? Its extreme focus on sustainability, diversity and supremely personalized service. Key features include

The resort has installed one wind turbine (one of only two in Zanzibar), solar water heaters on each villa, solar panels and their own desalinization plant. Fruits and vegetables used in White Sand’s kitchen are grown in their own bio garden, complimented by the unique “green wall” of plants lining the fine dining restaurant space, and the resort features its own kitesurfing shop.

To celebrate the grand opening month, travelers can save 30 percent when visiting in June, with villa rates starting at US $490 per night in a one bedroom, including breakfast.

The property boasts a Spa nestled in the natural landscape, including a variety of treatments along with a fine dining restaurant serving freshly caught fish on an eclectic menu, bar with rooftop lounge, 24/7 concierge service, and a high-end watersports center specialized in kitesurfing. The property is located on Paje Beach, on the east coast of Zanzibar.
