The villa
The main guest area at Vamizi Island has a striking palm thatch roof and open sides. Its decking flows into beautifully landscaped gardens offering a tranquil al fresco setting for private dining, accompanied by serenading waves. A mezzanine level makes for a cosy hideaway – perfect for family game time. There is an elevated study behind the master bedroom and an open courtyard, complete with swinging chairs and hammocks, just behind the main guest area. The tower, adorned with stargazing chairs, offers uninterrupted views across the island and up to the night sky. Set within the tower is a breakaway lounge, complete with a day bed. A simply designed beach sala makes use of a traditional dhow sail for shade, and is the ideal retreat to while away sun-drenched days on the beach.
