“Spaces are magical, always have been for me. Since childhood, often when I walk into a space for the first time, I’m confronted with a narrative, a feeling, a history, some characters. Like Jacques, in “As You Like It,” there is a myth, an opera, a film or a play stretching out on stage before me. These stages present themselves for me to play on and, for even more fun, to play with. The romantic and erotic are always embedded in the space.” Emerson Skeens

Timeless Magical Spaces
Reflections from 2022: “This place is one of the most beautiful and unique places in Stone town.
At the entrance you will always be met by friendly staff, that will also kindly show you available apartments.
The picturesque design of the rooms can easily turn you into a character of an Arabian fairy tale 💫
All rooms are designed differently, what’s making the place is even more interesting.
There’s an amazing rooftop restaurant to spend a lovely dinner at, also a famous Secret Garden downstairs.
I’ve visited it 2 years ago for the first time and still this place looks super cool for me.
The architecture and interior are spectacular.
One of the must visit places on Zanzibar”
