 The
Protea Hotel Mbweni Ruins magically blends the living experience of Zanzibar's
historic past... with the modern day luxury and comfort expected of an
international resort hotel. It is here where the weary visitor can relax,
and allow themselves to be pampered by the ever caring staff whilst enjoying
the true beauty of nature.
The luxurious gardens gradually leads you down
to the beach where mangroves sprout out from the sea. The gardens also
serve as home and paradise to a vast variety of different species of butterflies
and birds. A beautiful crystal clear fresh water pool on the edge of the
beach connects the rooms to the restaurant and bar, where traditional
spicy foods as well as panoply of seafood delicacies await the deserning
diner. |
Protea Hotel Mbweni Ruins has 13 air conditioned luxury rooms are
elegantly furnished in the traditional Swahili Coast style of Zanzibar.
The Mbweni Ruins were originally a school for freed slave girls, built by the UMCA on the 30 acres of land called Mbweni Point Shamba which was bought by Bishop Tozer and Dr Edward Steere on September 8th, 1871. It was called St Mary’s school for girls. A “colony” or village of slaves freed by the British dhow-chasing ships was set up around it, each family having a plot of land big enough to build a house with a small vegetable garden.
Mbweni offers accommodation for no more than 30 guests.
All the rooms are air-conditioned, furnished in exotic Zanzibar style
and offer views of the Indian Ocean and the gardens. |
