Nungwi
A large, well-run all-inclusive resort on the north coast — the best option for families wanting maximum amenities alongside Nungwi's exceptional beach, with multiple pools and consistent Spanish-chain service.
A refined resort of private pool villas on the south-east coast — 66 villas in a coconut grove leading to a pristine beach, with one of the island's best spa programmes and a restaurant that draws guests from across the island.
Jambiani
A tiny collection of luxurious private cottages on the wild northeast coast — Matemwe Retreat is for those who want complete seclusion, stunning ocean views, and direct access to some of the finest diving in the Indian Ocean.
Nungwi
An architecturally striking boutique resort of 40 suites and villas perched above Zanzibar Channel north of Nungwi — Essque Zalu's contemporary Swahili-Zanzibar design and private beach access make it one of the north's best addresses.
Kendwa
Kilindi's 15 sculptural sphere-domed villas set in botanical gardens above Kendwa Beach make it one of Africa's most architecturally remarkable resorts — adults-only, intimate, and genuinely extraordinary.
Nungwi
An adults-only all-inclusive resort with a premium position on Nungwi Beach — 24-hour dining, multiple bars, and a well-equipped spa make it a reliable choice for couples seeking a carefree beach holiday.
