Our philosophy is simple: celebrate life.

Nine uncompromising villas between the gardens and the beach — each with its own private outside space, plunge pool and dedicated butler.

Find your own rhythm, in time with the waves.

At Xanadu our guests enjoy exceptional all-inclusive cuisine prepared by our team of international and local chefs, and a private butler is there throughout the stay. For the adventurous, our staff arrange excursions across the island.

Five one-bedroom and four two-bedroom villas, from the cosy Umande to the presidential Nyota and Mbingu.
