Villa Kidosho is a freestanding villa of 240 m² in its own garden, built in an Arabic-Omani style with carved stonework that echoes Stone Town. It has two suites, Jua (sun) on the left and Mwezi (moon) on the right, with a shared lounge between them. The floors are terrazzo throughout.

Questions about this video


How long is this video, and when was it filmed?

0:41 minutes, filmed in January 2025.

Which suites does the tour show?

Both: Jua on the left and Mwezi on the right, and the lounge and pool between and in front of them.

Who shares the pool at Villa Kidosho?

Only the two suites. It is yours alone when you book the whole villa.

Can I book the whole villa?

Yes. Booking both suites gives you the villa and its pool, at a price slightly below two separate suites. Email the hotel for the figure.

How far apart are Villa Kidosho and Asili House?

They stand next to each other, a one-minute walk barefoot.
