Zanzibar | Fully Loaded

Big beach days, turquoise water and sunsets worth staying out for.

Nungwi is all about easy beach days, with white sand, turquoise water, beachfront cafés and plenty of ways to get out on the ocean.

Swim, snorkel, take a boat trip or watch traditional dhows being built along the shore. Kendwa is just around the corner too, giving you another beautiful beach to explore before heading back for sunset in Nungwi.

Colourful skies, sandy feet and a beach that’s always on the move.

Paje has a different kind of beach energy. Colourful kites fill the sky above its long sweep of white sand, and the changing tide gives you a new view of the shoreline throughout the day.

You could book a kitesurfing lesson, take a long walk by the water or pick a beachfront café and watch everyone else have a go. Come early for sunrise, then see where the day takes you.

Laid-back beach life with plenty of local charm.

Jambiani stretches along Zanzibar’s southeast coast, where white sand, turquoise water and traditional village life come together.

Walk the shoreline, stop for lunch by the beach, head out on a dhow or simply find a shady spot and stay there a while. From morning to sunset, Jambiani keeps things easy.
