Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort

Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort is one of the best beach hotels in Zanzibar and the perfect holiday getaway. The resort is set in almost 20 acres of paradise located on the north coast of the island, just outside the town of Nungwi, an area that enjoys warm and sunny weather almost year round.

This beautifully designed resort has a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and offers an all inclusive concept. It has a unique blend of buildings designed in Swahili/Zanzibari architecture and enjoys some of the most spectacular white sand beach on the island.

There are 4 swimming pools at the resort, and guests can also enjoy many other activities including water aerobics, water polo and a fitness centre. There is also a PADI dive centre offering dive adventures 365 days of the year.

The Spa offeres a range of treatments - what could be more relaxing than a massage in a space overlooking the ocean, where you can hear the gentle sound of the waves and enjoy the cooling breeze, all while fragrant oils sooth your senses.

Each of the Ocean Suites face directly on to the stunning turquoise of the Indian Ocean and the incredible reds and golds of the Zanzibari sunsets. They are approximately 96 square meters with a kingsize bed and an over-sized bathroom. On the ocean facing verandah, there is a deck bed designed for 2 from which to watch the world go by.

The Superior Rooms are approximately 78 square meters. Each one has either one king or 2 queen size beds, an oversized bathroom with a double bathtub, a walk in shower and a double sink, as well as a verandah from which to enjoy the beautiful garden, pool and ocean views.

The Superior Deluxe Rooms are on the 3rd floor, offering stunning panoramic views over the gardens, pools and the Indian Ocean. The oversized bathrooms offer a free standing tub, a separate walk in shower and dual sinks. Decorated in colours of dark sand and teal, these rooms offer a beautifully cool and luxurious retreat.
