We care about the environment,
you be eco too!

Our hotel is proud to implement solutions that promote sustainable development and environmental protection. We believe that each of us can contribute to a better tomorrow, and we proudly present our ecological initiatives.

Renewable energy sources

At Clove Island, we passionately use solar energy to minimize our carbon footprint. Our solar panels provide clean energy that powers the hotel and its amenities. This reduces greenhouse gas emissions, ensuring cleaner air and a healthier environment for everyone.

Water management

We use rainwater harvesting systems that allow for efficient irrigation of our lush gardens.

Local flavors

Our cuisine is based on local products and fresh herbs. We support local farmers and producers by choosing only the best from the area. This not only reduces emissions associated with transportation but also supports the development of the local economy.

Caring for the local community

At Clove Island, we care not only about the environment but also about the people who make up our community. We provide comfortable working conditions, fair wages, and professional development opportunities for our employees. We believe that happy employees offer the best service to our guests.

Nature-inspired cosmetics

At our hotel, we pay attention to every detail to provide you with an unforgettable experience and full comfort. We are pleased to offer an exceptional line of local cosmetics available in the rooms and suites and for purchase on site. These cosmetics are inspired by the riches of African nature and Zanzibar's culture. They are made from selected African plants, oils, and essences, using organic ingredients. The process of creating them is an art based on manual work.

Najlepszy hotel w jakim byłem na Zanzibarze. Personel jest cudowny, jedzenie wyjątkowe, a plaża prywatna. Wrócimy na pewno.

Spędziliśmy tutaj miesiąc miodowy. Wszystko było doskonałe — apartament, basen, drinki o zachodzie słońca. Cudowne wspomnienia.
