Set in the middle of Tanzania's Songo Songo archipelago - a string of six tiny, mostly uninhabited islets – this luxurious Robinson Crusoe-style resort is proof that private island paradises really do still exist. The sands are powder white, the surrounding ocean turquoise and there’s simply no other resort for miles and miles. There's little else here to interrupt the sea views.
The large private villas are simply yet beautifully designed by its French interior designer owners. Woven palm creates the natural flooring and walls topped by soaring thatched ceilings. Bedrooms and dressing areas are carefully furnished with exquisitely shell-decorated pieces while a huge day bed, large pouffes and a hammock adorn the spacious private terrace, looking straight out to sea, from which the Beach Villas are merely a few steps. Generously-sized bathrooms are partially open to the sky with dual showers and vanities enclosed by coral walls. For those looking for a little extra, the stunning two-bedroom Coral Manor has a well-appointed private deck with comfy sofas, separate sunbathing deck and a wooden stairway down into the sea. Coral Manor is perfect for a family or two couples travelling together and also has a private dining area for intimate gatherings.
