The Best Places to Go in 2025: 16 Editor-Approved Hotels Worth the Trip | Condé Nast Traveler
"Sitting almost two miles off Zanzibar, the tiny private island resort rebuilt in 2024 now offers 12 curvaceous bandas designed like a nautilus shell to bring nature indoors; rooms are wood‑and‑reed‑clad Robinson Crusoe–style spaces where sea air (and occasionally a bird, crab, or bat) wafts in, and butler service can bring sushi or a cooling coconut to your room. I enjoyed barefoot strolls to the bar for a Dawa lime cocktail, romantic lamplit beach dinners (lobster ravioli, Kenyan beef, chocolate tart or mango sorbet), a boutique stocked with local jewelry and crafts, and water activities—catamarans, kayaks, paddleboards, and world‑class diving—plus a new spa offering Healing Earth–scented massages and beach yoga; repeat visitors swear there’s nothing comparable.
