Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

Boutique Beach Hotel

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

Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort, an all-inclusive five-star retreat on the northern coast of Zanzibar, captivates with its modern-Zanzibari design and sweeping Indian Ocean views, offering a serene escape as a distinguished member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

The 96 spacious accommodations, with Superior Rooms at 80 square meters and Suites at 100 square meters, feature large beds draped in mosquito nets, quiet air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, fridges, coffee and tea facilities, and safes. Each opens to a generous balcony showcasing turquoise waters, while private bathrooms offer large bathtubs, separate showers, double sinks, and premium toiletries. Four outdoor pools, nestled in tropical gardens, invite refreshing swims, and the private beach, fringed by a coral reef, provides a serene setting for watersports like snorkeling. The spa offers soothing massages, and a gym, alongside games like darts and table tennis, keeps guests active.

Dining at Royal Zanzibar is a vibrant affair. Spices Restaurant serves a varied international breakfast and dinner buffet, blending Zanzibari flavours like clove-spiced fish with global dishes. Samaki Restaurant specializes in fresh seafood, from grilled lobster to citrus-glazed prawns, savoured with ocean breezes. Near the beach, a traditional pizza oven at Coco Bar crafts quick, wood-fired snacks, paired with light meals and refreshing beverages for poolside relaxation. The bar's tropical cocktails elevate sunset moments, while guests can explore the coral reef or join beachfront yoga to connect with Zanzibar's tranquil rhythm.

Located a 60-minute drive from Stone Town's historic charm and 60 km from Zanzibar International Airport, Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort offers seamless access to the island's cultural markets and natural wonders.
