    Iconic & Ecological

    On the east coast of Zanzibar, in Marumbi, the’Ycona Luxury Resort delivers a sharp reinterpretation of island hospitality. Spread over six hectares of unspoiled vegetation, the estate is home to 40 detached villas, all equipped with a garden and a private swimming pool. The interior architecture breaks away from clichés: clean-cut Italian lines, custom-designed in mineral shades, blend with the warmth of wood and pieces of local craftsmanship. Entirely solar-powered and free of single-use plastics, the hotel bases its identity on tangible sustainability that directly involves the island's residents and the resort's guests. The experience is rounded off by four restaurants and a Cave Spa nestled in the heart of a natural coral cave. A stylish and eco-friendly retreat, perfectly in tune with the times.

    THE EXTRAORDINARY

    At the heart of the estate, the Cave Spa offers a unique sensory escape, set directly within a natural coral cave. Lit by candlelight and cooled by the rock, this mineral sanctuary houses a crystal-clear pool and intimate treatment cabins. The treatments celebrate the virtues of Zanzibar spices and local botanical ingredients. Far from the artificial aesthetic of urban spas, the venue favours a raw beauty and the earth's organic energy. A holistic and immersive experience, where wellness becomes an absolute ritual of grounding.

    ETHICS

    Far from being merely for show, Ycona’s eco-luxury is based on practical choices: solar self-sufficiency, zero plastic and strict water management. The bioclimatic architecture blends into the six hectares of preserved jungle, combining low-impact materials with respect for biodiversity. This model reconciles exceptional comfort with a positive social impact, through education and the prioritisation of recruitment from among the island’s inhabitants. A vision of the hospitality industry where the preservation of the ecosystem becomes the ultimate form of refinement. Read more...
