The Swahili House mixes the best of authentic style with modern conveniences such as air-conditioning, lift, restaurant and cocktail bar. It makes the most of its location by housing a rooftop terrace with stunning views. After a day of exploring Stone Town, come to the rooftop terrace and relax with a cool drink at the bar, taking in the gorgeous views of the Indian Ocean. The restaurant and sundeck with plunge pool are also upstairs on the rooftop terrace. The restaurant on the terrace serves a combination of local and international dishes, whilst the downstairs restaurant serves lunch.
