Beyt Al Chai
Set in Zanzibar's historic Stone Town, this traditional house was once a tea house. Built on three floors and only a few paces from the sea, the house is cool and breezy.
Beyt Al Chai Highlights
Perfectly located on the famous Kelele Square, Beyt Al Chai allows guests to experience the ambience of the famous Stone Town in quite a tranquil setting overlooking a beautiful grassy square filled with Hibiscus and Neem trees. In contrast to many of the other buildings in the square, this house has always been a home and has kept its soul and the knowledge, welcoming visitors into a real home environment.
