Nungwi Beach Resort

Set on the powdery white sand of Nungwi—widely considered Zanzibar’s finest beach—this resort delivers the complete tropical escape. The tide barely shifts here, which means you can swim in bathwater-warm turquoise water from dawn to dusk without waiting for tidal changes that affect other parts of the island. Rooms and suites are arranged in low-rise coral-stone buildings draped in tropical gardens, each with a private balcony or terrace facing either the ocean or the lush grounds. Two swimming pools, including a serene adults-only infinity pool, provide alternatives to the sea, while the spa offers massages and treatments using local coconut and spice oils. Dining is a highlight: the oceanfront restaurant specialises in fresh-caught seafood and Swahili fusion cuisine, and the beach bar is the place to be when the Nungwi sunset paints the sky in every shade of fire. A full water sports centre makes it easy to try kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, or snorkelling right from the beach.
