The Indian Ocean's Most Beautiful Island
Zanzibar is a dream destination — a tropical archipelago off the coast of Tanzania where powder-white beaches meet warm turquoise waters, swaying palms and a rich cultural heritage shaped by Arab, Persian, Indian and African influences. It's the perfect ending to a safari adventure or a standalone island holiday.
UNESCO-listed Stone Town, a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, ornate doorways and spice-scented bazaars, sits at the heart of Zanzibar's history. Beyond the town, the island stretches into some of the most beautiful beaches in the world — Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje and the secluded south coast.
