Zanzibar is an island fringed with white beaches, bright aquamarine waters, and colourful coral reefs — a paradise for anyone who loves a beach break. So it's not surprising that it has an excellent array of beach-side accommodation, from intimate private island resorts — perfect for honeymooners — and luxury lodges set on quiet stretches of sand to lively beach clubs and simple huts on the sand — the ultimate in barefoot, beach-loving luxury. Stone Town, Zanzibar’s main town, is a lively place to stay if you’re looking for a buzzing beach break, and for the polar opposite, head off to stay on the beach of one of Zanzibar’s private island resorts. With its mix of cultural influences, and fascinating history, Zanzibar is an interesting place to stay, as well as a beautiful one, so it’s a good choice for a beach holiday if you’re looking for something unusual or unique.
