The Serena Hotel has a choice of on site eating areas from casual to more formal. Enjoy a cocktail after a busy day of exploring whilst watching the sunset, cool off in the pool or take a stroll through the interesting streets of Stone Town. There is babysitting for families with smaller children.

Being a member of the prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the hotel has been styled to represent the epitome of Swahili style, ethnic elegance and Arabic opulence. This is a great base to explore the town and nearby attractions. We do recommend to have a few nights here followed by a few more days in the coastal areas to give a complete Zanzibar experience.

Located in the 'Old Town' of Stone Town, in the western side of the island and access is easy with daily flights from the mainland Tanzania, Arusha, Nairobi and South Africa. There are also ferries and speed boats that link Zanzibar with Dar es Salaam daily. The Serena Hotel is an easy 15 minute drive from the airport.
