Mangapwani Serena
Beach Club
Backed by coconut palms fronted by secluded white sandy beaches and rocky
coves, looking out over an expanse of translucent turquoise ocean where
dolphin arc, turtles potter and curtains of rhinestone fish drift amongst
rainbow coral gardens, the Mangapwani Serena Beach Club is the ultimate
island paradise.
Located on the unspoilt northwest coast
of Zanzibar, this exclusive club offers sybaritic serenity, sun worship,
swimming, sea sports, sumptuous seafood and a lavish array of barbecues,
Swahili specialties and tropical fruits. Amenities include opulent day
beds, palm-thatched parasols, henna body art and luxury changing and rest
rooms. The activities on offer include swimming, snorkeling, sea
kayaking, diving, water sports, dhow trips and nature trails plus visits
to a dhow workshop and the brooding caverns of the Mangapwani Slave Caves
where slaves were hidden after the abolishment of slavery made their
shipment illegal. They were then smuggled down to the slave ships at the
dead of night. The Mangapwani Serena Beach Club can be enjoyed for days on
the beach and lavish luncheons or booked for exotic evening cocktails and
beach barbeques.
At Mangapwani Beach Club and Restaurant,
guests can spend the day on the beach soaking up the African sun, taking
the odd dip in the sea to cool down or enjoying the many water sports on
offer.
When it comes to lunchtime, guests can
stroll over to one of the tables shaded by thatch awning and enjoy a
lavish buffet lunch. The menu has something for everyone, but mostly takes
advantage of Zanzibar's wonderful seafood. A chef is on hand at the buffet
to prepare dishes to your requirements, adding the perfect blend of famous
Zanzibari spices.
The beach club offers rest rooms and
changing rooms and a bar offering a variety of cool refreshments
throughout the day. Self-guided and guided nature and cultural walks are
available that include the nearby historical Mangapwani Slave Caves where
the slaves of the 1800s were kept awaiting the monsoons and the arrival of
the dhows. Transport to the Zanzibar Serena Inn is available by road or by
boat (depending on times and tides) from the the Mangapwani Serena Beach
Club and Restaurant.
