Zanzibar Beach Hotels

Zanzibar beach hotels lines some of the best beaches in the world, but sand and surf vary depending on what side of the Zanzibar beach hotels you’re on. On the east coast, waves break over coral reefs and sand bars offshore along the Zanzibar beach hotels. The port city of Stone Town dominates the west coast, and although the beaches of Mangapwani, where slave caves are visible at low tide and nearby Bububu are less than half an hour’s drive away, a night or two spent on the east or north cost is well worth the extra hour it takes to drive there. That said, the Chole Island Marine Park just off Stone Town – and nearby Prison, Grave, and Snake Islands – make a refreshing day-trip and a good break from exploring the winding passageways of the old city.
