Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 8.8
 

Pearl Beach Resort & Spa Zanzibar, a distinguished five-star retreat on the South-Eastern coast of Zanzibar's Michamvi Peninsula, blends elegant Swahili-inspired design with the natural beauty of mangrove forests and the Indian Ocean, celebrated as a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

The 37 rooms, each a study in refined comfort, feature Zanzibari-style furnishings, air-conditioned serenity, minibars, digital safes, and en-suite bathrooms with hairdryers and showers. Private balconies open to views of lush gardens or the ocean's endless expanse. The infinity pool, carved into a cliffside, overlooks the coral-fringed Indian Ocean, while the yoga pavilion, perched with 360-degree sea views, invites serene practice. Two private beaches, Hidden and Ngalawa, stretch over 800 meters, offering secluded sands for quiet strolls or lively beach parties with bonfires and Caribbean tunes. The spa pampers with massages using local botanicals, and the gymnasium keeps guests active, alongside bocce ball, beach soccer, and volleyball.

Dining at Pearl Beach Resort is a coastal delight. The cliff-top restaurant, with panoramic ocean views, serves a blend of Zanzibari and international dishes, from fresh-caught fish with clove-infused sauces to vibrant salads bursting with tropical flavours. Breakfast features fresh pastries and island fruits, savoured with Indian Ocean breezes. The lounge bar, steps from the beach, crafts cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks, perfect for sipping during evening entertainment or beachside barbecues. Guests can embark on dhow excursions to explore the coral reefs, join guided snorkeling or fishing trips, or simply relax on the private beaches, immersed in the peninsula's untouched beauty.

Located 65 km from Stone Town's UNESCO-listed historic core and 68 km from Zanzibar International Airport, Pearl Beach Resort & Spa offers seamless access to the island's cultural treasures and the nearby Jozani Forest, home to rare dirk-dirk antelopes and endemic birds.
