Zanzibar

Explore Zanzibar, the land of cloves, spices and salty air!

Zanzibar is an island shaped by centuries of Arab, African, and Indian influences. Now, you can find this cultural richness everywhere on the island: the carved wooden doors of Stone Town, the cloves and cinnamon you can smell before you even reach the spice farms, and the welcoming atmosphere. And of course, there's also the beaches: white sand, warm water, beautiful stillness. Zanzibar is a colourful island rich in culture, diversity and flavours!

Visit Zanzibar if:

  • You want a beach holiday with a little more substance.
  • You're fascinated about places with a rich culture and history
  • You want a vacation that feels equally remote and refined

Zanzibar’s Most Loved Places

Zanzibar is smaller than you might expect, and richer than you can quite prepare for. We have curated its most distinct corners. from the historic streets of Stone Town to the quieter shores of the east coast. Take your time exploring, and let the right one find you.

Stone Town

The historic, UNESCO-listed heart of Zanzibar, where Arab, African and Indian influences meet in a maze of cobbled streets and carved wooden doors.

Nungwi

A lively beach village on the northern tip of the island, with white sand, warm water and the most active bar and restaurant scene on the coast.

Jozani Forest

Zanzibar's only national park, home to the rare red colobus monkey found nowhere else on earth.

Prison Island

A short boat ride from Stone Town, the tiny island is home to giant Aldabra tortoises and some of the clearest snorkelling waters.

Mnemba

 A tiny private island off the northeast coast, surrounded by one of the most pristine coral reefs.

Chumbe

 A protected coral island and marine sanctuary where the reef is untouched. Worth exploring if you want pristine nature.

Mafia

A remote island south, with very little tourism, where whale sharks pass through seasonally, and the diving is world-class.
