Dhow sailing past Zanzibar at sunset

Zanzibar Island

Spice Island Retreats

Stroll Stone Town’s UNESCO alleyways, snorkel reef-fringed atolls, and unwind on powder-soft beaches seasoned with centuries of Swahili culture.

Situated 35 km off Tanzania’s coast, Zanzibar (Unguja) blends Arabian, African, and European influences. Wander Stone Town’s spice-scented markets, discover coral mosques, and end the day with a sunset cruise aboard a traditional dhow.

Beyond the culture lies a coastline of white sand and turquoise shallows. Whether you crave boutique resorts, family-friendly villas, or private islands, we match each stay to your pace and celebration.

Why Travellers Love Zanzibar

Stone Town Heritage

Explore winding alleys, carved doorways, and rooftop restaurants. Guided tours weave in stories of sultans, traders, and the island’s UNESCO-listed architecture.

Spice & Flavour

Visit working spice farms to taste nutmeg, clove, and vanilla at the source, then soak up Swahili cuisine at the buzzing Forodhani night market.

Turquoise Waters

Snorkel Mnemba Atoll, dive coral walls, or paddle board calm lagoons. We arrange private boats, marine guides, and equipment for every skill level.

  • Pair with Selous or Ruaha for a southern circuit retreat.
  • Popular for honeymoons, family villas, and post-summit Kilimanjaro relaxation.
