The Anna was a traditional trading currency dating back to the days when dhows negotiated the trade winds to the Middle East and India, and Arabic and Asian traders made Zanzibar their home. Anna is also the name of the daughter and godchild of the directors who founded this boutique hotel on the romantic east coast of Zanzibar. 

All five of the luxury villas are situated in our tropical garden with views directly onto the Indian Ocean. Each suite includes a separate lounge area, a master bedroom, dressing room and bathroom.

The rooms are furnished in a luxurious fusion of colonial and original Zanzibari styles and have private verandas overlooking the ocean and our garden. We provide full room service on request and each suite is equipped with the amenities suited to five-star luxury, including a mini bar, an individual room safe, a hairdryer and wireless internet connectivity. All of our master bedrooms are air-conditioned. Three of our villas are perfectly suitable for family, triple or quadruple occupation due to the air-conditioned living room, which can be turned into a second bedroom.
