Alfajiri Garden Villa

Alfajiri Garden Villa contains three double bedrooms. Each individually designed they are all spacious and authentic with crisp, clean bed linens and bursts of colour throughout. Each room comes complete with a view of the Indian Ocean, meaning guests can enjoy the stunning view of the sparkling waters from the comfort of their own beds, which are all draped generously with mosquito netting. Exposed beams and polished wooden floors create a traditional African feel, and the rooms all come with their own large ensuite bathroom.

There is one twin room in the villa, complete with two comfortable four poster beds swathed in mosquito netting. This room is spacious and bright, cream walls and white bed linens reflect the natural light coming in through the wide window and make the space feel airy and fresh. Through this window a magnificent view of the Indian Ocean can be enjoyed by guests. A large ensuite bathroom includes a shower and bath and exposed beams and wooden features run throughout the room, keeping the beachy atmosphere.

The cuisine is fresh with seafood being brought in daily from the beach, including shellfish, snapper and yellowfin tuna.

And with a choice of a variety of South African and American wines, there is one to compliment every meal.
