Kendwa Beach sits just south of Nungwi on Zanzibar's northwest coast as the island's most upmarket beach destination, combining pristine white sand beaches with luxury resort experiences. This stunning stretch of coastline became famous for hosting the legendary Full Moon Party that has attracted thousands of international visitors since 1996, creating a tradition that continues to draw party-goers from around the world. The beach features powdery white coral sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and swaying palm trees that create the perfect tropical paradise setting.
What sets Kendwa apart from other Zanzibar beaches is its perfect combination of luxury accommodation and vibrant party atmosphere. The area hosts some of the island's most exclusive resorts like Gold Zanzibar and Zuri Zanzibar, offering beachfront villas with private pools and world-class spa facilities. Unlike many Zanzibar beaches, Kendwa's waters remain deep enough for swimming throughout the day regardless of tide schedules, making it ideal for luxury beach holidays where you can enjoy water activities anytime while watching spectacular Indian Ocean sunsets.
