Red Monkey Beach Lodge is a small lodge of 7 single-storey, palm-thatch bungalows on the quieter southern stretch of Jambiani beach, on Zanzibar's south-east coast. It runs a restaurant, a dhow-shaped bar and a reading lounge with a book exchange, and has an on-site kite-boarding centre — a more relaxed, undeveloped setting than the busier Nungwi/Kendwa or Paje strips.
What sets it apart
A genuinely small, quiet property on Jambiani's less-developed southern beach, with kite-boarding on site rather than arranged elsewhere.
Who it suits
Travellers wanting Jambiani's slow pace with a specific kitesurfing option on site.

About the photographs
The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
