Zanzibar and its attractions for beach lovers

Zanzibar, Tanzania, is a paradise for beach lovers with its stunning coastline and vibrant culture. Begin your journey at Nungwi Beach, known for its powdery white sands and azure waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Here, families can indulge in thrilling water sports such as snorkelling and diving, exploring the nearby coral reefs filled with marine life. The historic Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, offers a cultural excursion with its winding alleys, bustling bazaars, and rich Swahili architecture, where you can enjoy a leisurely stroll or sample local cuisine at charming eateries. For a truly unique experience, visit Jozani Forest, home to the rare Red Colobus monkeys, where guided tours allow you to immerse yourself in Zanzibar's natural beauty. If you're looking for a quieter escape, head to Paje Beach, renowned for its kite surfing opportunities and laid-back vibe. Staying in the northern or eastern regions, like Nungwi or Paje, you’ll find a range of hotels that offer exceptional service, beachfront access, and breathtaking sunset views, ensuring that your family feels pampered and well taken care of from the moment you arrive.

Z Hotel & Z2 Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We loved everything about Z1. Pool overlooking the ocean was beautiful, poolside service was also great while lounging. Private beach loungers were also really nice with security keeping beach peddlers away. Next door is a little convenience store where you can get cheaper cold beer/soda/snscks. Room was very clean and comfortable and turned over twice daily. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really solid at sexy fish, overlooking the ocean/beach. The rest of the meals are pricey compared to nearby places and I wouldn’t say the quality is much higher. Just fancier plating and garnishes. Not a ripoff by any means but for the price we got better value at local spots off the beach."

"A/C in room 100 was not working at all, someone looked at it and still not cooling. Should have washer and dryer’s for the guest to use. 50$ for 1 load of clothing not folded. All in all the stay was great, people were friendly and the hotel was beautiful and clean."

8/10 Good
"Property grounds were nice. Rooms are a bit dated. The TV and telephone in our room did not work. Manager at reception was very accommodating and made our stay much better. The massages were excellent. Highly recommend them.! Wifi is awful! Love the balconies! The other downside is the beach, the beach is beautiful but you have to pay 25$ for 2 chairs and umbrella every day if you want to be on the beach. Otherwise they do have beach chairs on man made beach near infinity pool. Just depends on your preference! Food is ok. Nothing to rave about but something for everyone!"
