Zanzibar accomodation tips

Zanzibar has mushroomed over the last 10 years. And it's easy to see why. With its crystal-clear and warm waters, white sandy beaches fringed with palm trees, colonial architecture, and numerous excellent restaurants, it's a holiday paradise.

There are a plethora of guesthouses, hotels, and resorts in all price ranges, so we understand it might be challenging to find your way around and decide what to choose. While it's impossible to visit all the hotels on offer, we have curated a small list of accommodations that we personally prefer to stay in. These accommodations foremost offer something unique, and they are small-scale, well-managed, tastefully designed, and provide good value for money.
