Ycona Luxury Resort

Set on Zanzibar's unspoiled east coast, Ycona Luxury Resort reveals a more authentic and untouched side of the island. This villa-only eco-luxury retreat is set within 60,000 sqm of lush tropical gardens and stretches along 500 metres of private white-sand beach, overlooking the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and Zanzibar's iconic sandbanks. 

Conceived by an Italian couple, Ycona was born from the vision of creating a destination where hospitality, nature and responsible luxury come together in perfect harmony. Its name is inspired by the letter "Y", a symbol of women and their essential role in society. This philosophy is reflected throughout the resort through a strong commitment to female leadership, equal opportunities and the empowerment of local talent. 

The resort features 40 independent villas, ranging from one to three bedrooms, including 14 villas with private pools. Designed for couples, honeymooners and families alike, Ycona offers four restaurants, threebars, a large swimming pool, The Cave Spa, and a curated collection of bespoke experiences, ensuring every stay is entirely personalised. 

Recognised by the World Travel Awards, Ycona Luxury Resort was named "Zanzibar's Leading Villa Resort 2025", a prestigious accolade celebrating the excellence of its hospitality, service and guest experience. 

Ideally located just 45 minutes from Zanzibar International Airport, Stone Town and the ferry terminal, Ycona provides the perfect base from which to explore the island's most iconic attractions. A private helipad, currently under development, will soon further enhance the resort's accessibility, offering seamless arrivals and exclusive private transfers.
