The World Wildlife Federation designated the peninsula an area of outstanding natural beauty in 1998. The property is sheltered by three natural coves. However, the lodge is only thirty minutes away from Stone Town. Zanzibar was once the world’s largest producer of cloves, this spice island also provided nutmeg and cinnamon to Europe, the Middle East, and China for over 500 years. Originally founded by Africans, the island was discovered by the Persians in the 10th century. Since then it has had a strong Arabic influence. The sultan of Oman even relocated his capital here.
