Melia Zanzibar

Beach Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 9.2
 

Melia Zanzibar, a premier five-star resort on the northeast coast of Zanzibar in Kiwengwa, enchants with its 40-acre estate, where a 300-meter pearlescent white-sand beach meets warm ocean waters, earning its place as a distinguished member of Leading Hotels of the World.

The resort's rooms and suites, designed for romance and relaxation, feature air-conditioned elegance, flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and private bathrooms with premium amenities. Select accommodations offer terraces with sweeping sea views, while others overlook lush tropical gardens. Three distinct pools cater to varied desires: a vibrant outdoor pool for all guests, a serene spa pool for those over 16, and an exclusive pool in The Level area for adult guests seeking extra privacy. The spa, complete with a sauna, offers rejuvenating treatments infused with local essences, while a modern fitness centre and tennis court keep active travellers engaged. The private beach, framed by a natural coral reef, ensures safe and tranquil swimming.

Dining at Melia Zanzibar is a global journey across seven restaurants. Aqua Restaurant blends Mediterranean flavours with dishes like seared tuna and olive-crusted lamb, while Spices celebrates Zanzibari cuisine with fresh seafood and clove-infused curries. The Jetty Restaurant offers international fare with oceanfront views, perfect for savouring breakfast buffets of tropical fruits and pastries. Two bars, including the breezy Gabi Beach Bar, serve artisanal cocktails and light bites, ideal for sunset toasts. Guests can paddle through the reef in canoes, join guided coastal excursions, or relax with beachfront yoga, immersing in the island's natural splendor.

Located 11 km from Kichwele Forest Reserve and less than a 50-minute drive from both Zanzibar International Airport and Stone Town's historic charm, Melia Zanzibar offers seamless access to the island's cultural and natural treasures.
