  • Beach Resorts in Zanzibar

    Beach resorts are the practical choice when you want everything in one place. Pools for the low-tide hours, several places to eat, water sports from the beach, a spa, and entertainment in the evening.

    The largest concentration is at Kiwengwa and Pwani Mchangani on the east coast, where the beach is widest, with more on the north coast at Nungwi and Kendwa. All-inclusive board is widely available, which makes budgeting straightforward.

    The east coast resorts share one characteristic worth understanding before you book: the tide. The sea retreats a long way at low water, so swimming happens on a schedule. This is why the pools matter. On the north coast at Nungwi and Kendwa the sea stays swimmable all day, and resorts there charge accordingly.
