Zanzibar is one of the best places in East Africa for beach holidays. It’s famous for its stunning white-sand beaches, calm waters, and peaceful vibe—perfect for relaxing and unwinding. Whether you’re lounging under swaying palm trees or taking a walk along the shore, the atmosphere is all about tranquility.

There’s a wide range of places to stay, too. From high-end luxury resorts to mid-range hotels and budget-friendly lodges, there’s something for every style and budget—and they all meet good international standards.

If you’re looking for something even more private and quiet, consider visiting the nearby Mafia Archipelago. It’s more off-the-beaten-path and offers small, intimate lodges ideal for couples or anyone wanting a peaceful escape. Picture yourself on a deserted sandbar, surrounded by shallow coral seas—it’s the perfect spot for a serene and personal getaway.
