Zanzibar and the coastal islands and atolls contain a wide range of accommodation options, and all of them are awe-inspiring in their own way. From centuries-old hotels overlooking the bustling streets of Stone Town and the Indian Ocean, to quaint bandas with coconut palm thatched roofs, to regal beachside suites with infinity pools, to sleepy tropical resorts steps from the shore. If you plan to extend your stay in Tanzania with a Zanzibar holiday (and we recommend you do!), we have accommodation options for every taste. If you have enough time, we recommend spending a few days in Stone Town, Zanzibar where you can get a taste of the local Swahili culture (and phenomenal local food!), and a few days or more on one of the archipelago’s phenomenal beaches where you can relax, swim, snorkel, dive, fish, bike, go on a dhow (sailboat) safari, and, of course, enjoy a nice cocktail or two!
