Welcome to Zanzibar! Upon your arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, your friendly driver guide will meet you and escort you to your hotel in Stone Town, just a short 20-minute drive away. This area, known for its rich history, will be the perfect place to begin your Zanzibar adventure.
Once you check in, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy your surroundings. You can take a refreshing dip in the beautiful infinity pool, which offers stunning views of the Indian Ocean. For those seeking more relaxation, consider a visit to the spa (additional fee applies), or spend some time in the fitness area.
If you prefer to simply unwind, find a sun lounger and soak up the tropical sunshine. When you're ready for a meal, the hotel’s Zamani Residence concept offers a variety of dining options. Enjoy dishes inspired by Indian, Arabic, and continental cuisines, along with locally caught seafood that highlights the island’s culinary richness.
Start your morning with a delicious breakfast at your hotel before meeting our knowledgeable local guide for an immersive tour of Stone Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the centuries, various civilizations have left their mark on Zanzibar, and Stone Town showcases these influences beautifully.
Your tour begins at the lively market, where the air is filled with exotic aromas and the energy of locals engaged in bartering. Next, visit the 19th-century church, built on the former site of the slave market after the abolition of slavery in 1873. As you walk through the narrow alleys, you’ll notice grand Arab houses with hidden courtyards behind ornate, heavy doors. Their architectural style resembles that of Indian homes, featuring intricate balustrades and metal railings.
Other notable landmarks include the ‘Tip Tip House,’ the Old Fort, and the People’s Palace Museum. For lunch, head to the Silk Route, an Indian rooftop restaurant offering spectacular ocean views. Enjoy a flavorful meal, and if you’d like, pair it with a refreshing martini.
