Welcome to The White Lion Resort

Location

The White Lion Resort is a unique and stunning destination on Chumbe Island Coral Park, a small private island in Zanzibar, Tanzania.

Situated 8 km Southwest of Zanzibar town, it is covered by an undisturbed forest and surrounded by a virgin coral reef.

The island can be reached in a 30-45 minute boat ride from the Mbweni beach departure point south of Stonetown Zanzibar.

Accommodation

A finalist of the Aga Khan Award for Architecture, White Lion's unique buildings have gained world-wide acclaim for pioneering ecologically self-sustaining technology with zero impact on the environment.

Perfectly blended with the surrounding nature and situated between the beach and the forest, the seven amazing eco-bungalows are designed with state-of-the-art eco-architecture using African handicrafts and local materials.

My stay at the The White Lion Resort was a memory that I will never forget. From the friendliness of everyone and the accommodations (especially the food), it was all absolutely amazing!

Thanks to all of you for making my African holiday a great success!

The Wihite Lion Resort claims that “you come as a client and leave as a friend” sums up our experience. The resort was authentic, beautiful, and clean. We had a lot of fun and laughs sailing the boat on our daily sailing. Each day was a different type of food and a unique challenge.

We left Africa with many countless memories to cherish. This was a family vacation of a lifetime! Thank you to our White Lion Friends.
