This beautifully restored building is on a breezy hilltop overlooking the town and Mikindani Bay. It offers spacious, atmospheric, high-ceilinged doubles and the closest to top-end standards that you’ll find in these parts. There’s a sunset terrace with magnificent views, a pool surrounded by bougainvillea bushes and lush gardens, a spa, attentive staff and an excellent restaurant.
Rooms vary, so check out a few before choosing. It’s run by Trade Aid (www.tradeaiduk.org), a non-profit group committed to improving employment and educational opportunities for the local community. A stay at the Old Boma supports its work; check its website if you want to get involved.
