The soul of Ras Kutani emanates from the never-ending stretches of creamy white sand, broken only by footprints and the lapping of

the cool blue waves; this sought-after beach solitude is the foundation of pure relaxation and offers a stark contrast to East Africa's busier resorts. Complementing the sound of the surf is the oasis of calm surrounding the lagoon, providing an ideal environment for stunning water birds.  Enhancing this watery setting is a lush backdrop of virgin coastal forest.  Ras Kutani supports, protects and enhances this rare ecosystem which boasts over 132 varieties of trees and is home to four species of monkey. Constructed from locally sustainable natural materials, the accommodation blends seamlessly into Ras Kutani’s exquisite environment, offering al fresco luxury living with a Swahili twist. In the heart of the retreat lies the welcoming bar, open air lounge generously scattered with cushions creating the perfect ambience for evening cocktails and the expansive restaurant terrace with a ceiling of African stars.  The cuisine takes inspiration from the coast itself; from the vivid history of the Tanzanian coast and its infamous spice trade by serving fresh, locally caught, seafood with delicately spiced flavours to hosting wonderful convivial barbeques accompanied by an appetizing variety of fresh salads and scrumptious desserts.
