La Gemma is located on the North West coast of Zanzibar, near to Kendwa Rocks, on a magnificent stretch of beach. The beauty of this side of the island is that it is not as affected as the East by the tidal fluctuations.

One of the most stunning features of the resort is the large entertainment area.

From the deck, you can watch the fish swimming in the floodlit ocean
