Swimmer in turquoise water off Zanzibar
The Spice Island

Relax in Zanzibar

After an exciting safari, slow down with turquoise water, white-sand beaches, and island culture.

Off Zanzibar's coast, sandbanks emerge and vanish with the tide — reachable only by boat, and often empty if you go early. On land, the pace matches the water: palm-thatched loungers, infinity pools, hammocks strung between trees older than the resorts around them.
