The Casa del Mar is situated on Jambiani Beach, ca. 50 km away from Stone Town and the airport. The hotel is located on a special part of the beach, where during low tide when swimming is made difficult, it creates a natural lagoon and thus guarantees a refreshing change in the Indian Ocean. Under the tropical sunshine, shaded by palm trees, you will be able to fully relax and unwind.
The Casa del Mar has lush tropical garden where you will find an abundance of exotic plants and fruits. Some of these fruity delicacies can be tried at the restaurant or bar-terrace. The Casa del Mar offers a swimming pool.
Accommodation and Meals
The 12 rooms, which are found in the two houses on the property, are furnished with organic materials found in the surrounding area. The interior decorations were personally designed by both hotel managers; the self-designed wooden furniture standing in stark contrast to the colourful bedding and pillows.
