Zanzibar beach holidays

The Spice Island

Zanzibar beach holidays

The perfect ending to a climb or a safari: turquoise water, dhow sails and a slower pace, three to seven nights away from the mainland.

Ways to spend your island days

Stone Town & spice farms

2 days

UNESCO alleyways, the old fort, Forodhani night market and a working spice plantation.

Nungwi & Kendwa

3–5 nights

The north coast, where the tide never strands the swimming and the sunsets are the island's best.

Paje & Jambiani

3–5 nights

Kitesurfing, quiet villages and long low-tide walks on the east coast.

Mnemba & reef diving

Day trips

Snorkelling and diving on the atoll, with dolphins off Kizimkazi in season.

Jozani Forest

Half day

Red colobus monkeys found nowhere else on earth, plus a mangrove boardwalk.

Private honeymoon add-on

5–7 nights

Boutique beach hotels, dhow sunset cruises and dinner on the sand.
