What we build today, Zanzibar inherits tomorrow
The environmental decisions at Liyongo were made at design stage rather than added afterwards. The commitments to Kendwa were made with the village itself.
Built for shade and airflow
Courtyards, deep verandas and orientation do the cooling work that would otherwise fall to machinery.
Materials from the island
Coral stone and makuti, cut and worked locally by people who have used them here for generations.
Rainwater harvesting
Rainfall is collected and stored for use across Liyongo.
Local work and training
Construction and the running of Liyongo draw on Zanzibari labour and suppliers, with a training centre preparing local residents for roles in the operation.
A market for Kendwa's makers
Regular on-site markets and the artisan village give local traders, farmers and craftspeople a place to sell at Liyongo.
Water and schools
A partnership with Kendwa's village leadership covers a fresh-water well for local residents and equipment for the schools.
Furnished for the tropics
Inspired by luxury, yet on arrival it feels like remembering what mattered all along. A homestead for a couple seeking a deeper connection. Kaya is furnished in a tropical style chosen to last in this climate, to be comfortable to stay in and to appeal to guests year after year.
