Overview

Zanzibar Accommodation

Zanzibar's accommodation options span an enormous range, and the right choice depends as much on which beach suits you as on budget. We work with properties across every price tier — simple beach bandas for backpackers, comfortable resorts for families and mid-range travelers, and private villas and five-star lodges for honeymoons and special occasions.

  • Budget: simple beach bandas and guesthouses, mostly Paje and Matemwe
  • Mid-range: comfortable beachfront resorts with pools and restaurants
  • Luxury: private villas, boutique lodges and five-star beach resorts
  • Stone Town: heritage hotels in restored historic buildings

Planning Your Trip

Good to know

We recommend accommodation based on your beach preference, budget and trip style, then handle the booking directly. Most travelers combine Zanzibar accommodation with a few nights in Stone Town for the cultural side of the island.

Which area has the best accommodation range?
Nungwi and Kendwa offer the widest range across all budgets; Paje and Matemwe lean more mid-range to luxury.
Can I stay in Stone Town and on the beach?
Yes — many itineraries split time between a heritage hotel in Stone Town and a beach resort.
Do you book accommodation directly?
Yes — tell us your budget and style and we'll handle the full booking as part of your itinerary.
