Beach Holiday

Zanzibar Beach Holiday

White sand, warm water, and the pace of the coast

Whether you're unwinding after days on safari or arriving fresh for a standalone island escape, Zanzibar trades savanna dust for turquoise water. Sail out on a traditional dhow fishing boat, walk the beach at sunrise or sunset, and choose accommodation to match your trip — from simple beachfront lodges to boutique hotels to luxury all-inclusive resorts. Beyond the main island of Unguja, Pemba and Mafia offer quieter, less-visited stretches of the same Swahili Coast.
