Overview & Features
The Seyyida Hotel and Spa
An iconic boutique hotel standing at the very edge of Zanzibar's bustling Stone Town, The Seyyida Hotel and Spa captures the spirit and romance of a town whose history has been written by monsoon winds. Arriving here feels like stepping into a living museum, where architecture clings to the charm of the 19th century, reflecting the multi-faceted influences of Swahili culture through a delightful amalgamation of Arab, Persian, Indian, and European design. The moment you enter, the airy lobby greets you with intricate sculptures and floor tiles narrating Zanzibar's storied past. With spaces adorned in rich textiles and local artistry, the hotel exudes a warm yet refined elegance. Guests are invited to unwind in the infinity pool that overlooks the pristine Chwaka Bay, providing an ever-changing canvas of sunset hues. Dining is an unparalleled experience at the hotel's 900-m2 restaurant, where local flavors meet international finesse, enticing all senses with every dish.

Perfectly rooted within the UNESCO World Heritage site of Stone Town, The Seyyida places you within a stone's throw of vibrant markets, historic landmarks, and the enchanting aroma of local spices. Stroll down cobblestone streets to visit the House of Wonders or the Old Fort, both essential to understanding the rich tapestry of Zanzibar's history. For modern conveniences, the airport is just a 20-minute drive from the hotel, with Kisauni Airport offering smooth transfers; the locals and guides can share the tales behind the vibrant culture, so prepare for an immersively delightful experience. Additionally, the legendary Chwaka Bay, a mere 3 km from the hotel, invites water sports enthusiasts and tranquil seekers alike.
