Gemma is located on the North West coast of Zanzibar, near to Kendwa Rocks, on a magnificent stretch of beach. The beauty of this side of the island is that it is not as affected as the East by the tidal fluctuations.
The hotel has been styled on a modern European style, ignoring the Zanzibar style, in which most other resorts have been built. The restaurant area is beautifully decorated using glass windows and water features, all very chic and modern.
One of the most stunning features of the resort is the large entertainment area. The jetty just out some 100m into the ocean and provides a stunning place to enjoy cocktails during the day, sundowners at sunset or a late night drink. From the deck, you can watch the fish swimming in the floodlit ocean

All rooms are fitted with French doors which open out on to a landscaped garden. The rooms also have a balcony where guests can sit and enjoy the view of the ocean.
The executive villas also include a personal butler.
