LIYONGO·KENDWA
An experience of community and connection, to the real Zanzibar.
Designed for social connection and openness, to awaken our most aspirational, romantic and playful selves.
Crafted to showcase the stories of Zanzibar's most talented artists, foodies and more - for the ultimate Swahili holiday experience.
Established hand-in-hand with Kendwa's community to end rubbish tips, insufficient water access, and children ill-equipped for school.







Our community of communities.
Where local craftsmen still shape wood by hand, and the call to prayer drifts over Kendwa's shores, we've woven 60 luxury villas into the living fabric of Swahili village life. For a lifestyle of barefoot simplicity.

Sustainability, without compromise.
Design that feels, not just functions. Fully furnished with full access to all resort facilities.
Just 10 minutes walk from Kendwa's famous sandy shores.
Kendwa's upmarket, breezy village life juxtaposes the bustling social scene of neighbouring Nungwi, for a wealth of activities, restaurants and bars for the discerning voyager.
Paying back in under 4 years.
Liyongo rents out of all its villas, sharing the money earned equally with its residents. Meaning that within just 4 years, you can look to see a complete return on your investment.
