Best Hotels in Zanzibar
Tall palm trees, white beaches, coral reefs and exotic islands. Welcome to the Zanzibar Archipelago!
Best Hotels in Zanzibar
There are more than 40 islands spread throughout the entire Zanzibar Archipelago, with Zanzibar Island being the largest.We’ve compiled a list of our favourite white sand, palm tree swaying island escapes, from rustic eco retreats to private island escapes!
Mnemba Island
Located on the northeast coastline of Zanzibar, Mnemba Island is one of the most exclusive private islands in the world. Surrounded by an atoll of breath-taking coral reefs and boasting some of Africa’s best dive sites, a stay here is incomparable.
Location: Located off the North-East tip of Zanzibar
Zuri Zanzibar
Zuri Zanzibar combines fantastic accommodation with one of the best beaches on Zanzibar, if not the finest on the island! Zuri is also a member of the Design Hotels Collection and, as suspected, not one detail has been overlooked.
Location: North West Zanzibar on Nungwi Beach
Fundu Lagoon
Fundu Lagoon is a Robinson Crusoe fantasy. Privately owned and run with a love for the surrounding natural environment, it is remote, peaceful and the epitome of shabby chic – stylish, indulgent and totally relaxed; a quintessentially East African retreat.
Location: Located on Pemba Island, a short scenic flight from Zanzibar
Xanadu Villas
Xanadu is ideal for family groups, honeymooners, or beach lovers in search of privacy and a touch of luxury. Its stunning architecture and unusual set-up have created a property that is full of character and charm.

Fanjove Island
Fanjove Island is another exotic private island escape. This private island has stunning white sands, turquoise waters and 5 star service on hand. As so much of the Indian Ocean becomes more developed, Fanjove only shines brighter.
