Pools & Garden

It’s hard to say what’s the best thing about the grounds that surround Qambani: the splendid pools for endless afternoons in the water, the exotic gardens with palms and sunbirds – planted by one of East Africa’s best gardeners – or the Indian Oceans’ craggy coral edge with seaviews splashed all the way along the front.

 A little stroll down through the grounds takes you to five wooden steps and the shore. From June to November, a miles-long white sand beach curls around the headland. From December to May, a smaller beach is no more than ten minutes walk away on the coral at low tide.

Livingroom

Room is an understatement: over forty wooden louvre doors open all sides to terraces and sunlight. At its heart, vast spreading sofas frame a giant timber table strewn with curiosities and bowls of shells.

Not at all party shy, this extensive room has a fully equipped bar at the eastern end, and there’s a serious sound system throughout. There’s also a different chair in which to read every chapter of your book.

Dining

You can feast and entertain all over this generous property. The master table can be elegantly laid in the timber dining room, with louvre doors that open three whole sides to the air and light.

 Outside in the grounds, you can go poolside with a barbecue, or lounge on the main terrace in the softness of the evening. Or peel off at dusk to the sundowner rooftop, right on the ocean’s edge.

Qambani Luxury Resort gym

Movies & Gym

Retreat from the tyranny of unlimited watersports to some indoor entertainment. A cosy room cum study is set back from the main sitting room, with a large HD TV with satellite channels, a selection of DVDs, and nice comfy sofas.

The next room off the courtyard is a small gym, with bicycle and rowing machines, free weights and mirrors. Like the rest of the house, it has a wi-fi connection and state of the art Sonos wireless sound system.

    “Exceptional” – September 2026

    We very much enjoyed our stay at Qambani. The service was excellent – friendly, attentive and just lovely. We celebrated our Honeymoon and it’s really the best place to wind down after a safari. Everything is well cared after, especially the garden. The views from the pool and the sundowner room are stunning. We loved the interior, the easy access to the beach, walks on the beach up until arriving to The Rock restaurant, the privacy and the selection of food and drinks. Especially the breakfast was prepared with utmost care. Just delicious! The best hotel on the island without any doubt.

    Superb” October 2025

    The the vibe, the friendliness of staff, the furniture along with the attention to small details were all what made our stay spectacular. It offers the calm relaxing feeling you look for. The pool was so nice to swim in, with a beautiful view over the sea. You wont see the sun directly sinking into the water seeing during sunset, but the view is still amazing. There is also michamvi beach nearby with the perfect sunset view. Resort offers alot of activities to do which are very fun. And the food was so delicious. Different menu every day, and you can even customize/make special requests. The cooking was top notch. But the highlight was definitely the staff themselves, they are professionals with the friendliest and warmest attitude. They are what really made our stay memmorable. Highlyy recommend for a honeymoon!

    “Great Holiday” – February 2025

    Exceptional place – we felt like we were at the whote lotus, only exception was the suspense:)

    If you don’t want to leave the location for a week, this is the place to be. Sultan suite is exceptional. As is the staff. Food was varying and not always our taste – but the flexibility to find great alternatives compensated this fully. The bolognese was superb!
