Kendwa Hotel & Travel Guide
Kendwa has a wide range of comfortable accommodation options. The Travelocity database is the place to find 24 places to base yourself within a 6-mile (10-kilometer) distance of Kendwa's urban core.
For those times when you and your traveling partner are booking a place to stay that is only an easy walk from the middle of Kendwa, Diamonds Star of the East Zanzibar - All Inclusive and Diamonds La Gemma dell'Est - All Inclusive should suit your needs.
The Matemwe Retreat - All Inclusive is located 7 miles (11 kilometers) from the center of Kendwa. An alternative accommodation option is the Essque Zalu Zanzibar, which is located about 3 miles (5 kilometers) away. The Hideaway of Nungwi Resort & Spa along with the Matemwe Lodge - All Inclusive are two other Travelocity-listed bases in Kendwa.
3 miles (5 kilometers) to the north of Kendwa, you'll reach Nungwi, where you can enjoy Nungwi Beach and Mnarani Natural Aquarium. If you're planning to head to Nungwi, check out the rooms at the Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort All Inclusive and Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa. Alternatively, you could consider staying at Zanzibar Town, 30 miles (45 kilometers) south of Kendwa, where you can choose between the Zanzibar Serena Hotel and Mashariki Palace Hotel. The Slave Market and Old Fort are some of the more frequented points of interest to visit when visiting Zanzibar Town.
Zanzibar International Airport is a practical airport for arriving by air to Kendwa. It is 30 miles (51 kilometers) from the center of the city. For wise travelers who have plans to find a room nearby, have a look at Protea Hotel by Marriott Zanzibar Mbweni Ruins or Zanzibar Beach Resort.
