Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

A beachfront resort on the northern coast, built with a mix of Swahili, Arabic and contemporary detail. Rooms and suites have private balconies or terraces facing either the ocean or the gardens.

There are large infinity pools, direct access to the beach, a spa, and several restaurants and bars. Snorkelling, diving, sunset cruises and cultural trips run from the resort. The northern coast holds its water at low tide, which the east coast does not.
