The time you spend here will bring to life your romantic dream vacation in East Africa where beautiful tropical gardens are separated by stone-paved pathways leading to lavish villas. The decor of the common areas such as the bar, lounge and covered porch with elaborate seating arrangements is every bit quintessential Zanzibari.

Relax beside their swimming pool in sunbeds and soak up the warm tropical sun or make your way to the pristine white sand beach caressed by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean that is simply breathtaking. Every one of the just 7 Villa Suites is furnished in warm tones of cream and coffee with hardwood, rug-throw floors contributing to its elegance and style. You will have your own spacious living area at the front of the room while the en-suite bathroom is at the back.



The rooms you will be staying in also include a patio with a daybed for afternoon siestas and a private plunge pool. Tea and coffee making supplies and a mini bar are placed in your room along with a safety deposit box and telephone. There is also a satellite connected television set hidden in a hand carved closet for your late night entertainment while the air-conditioning coolness adds to the comfort of the room.

Visit the Sanctuary Spa for a session of indolent pampering. And have delicious, gourmet cuisine at the resort’s restaurant, The Plantation House, which offers an indoor terrace and al-fresco meals. The beaches of Zanzibar are only one of its many attractions.



Explore offshore with scuba diving and snorkeling expeditions where a diverse range of coral and an equally stunning variety of reef life abound. You can also experience the underworld at Mnemba Atoll in the northeast near Matemwe. Look for reef fish, turtles, nudibranchs, sea urchins, rays, guitar sharks, eels, sea anemones and many more.



Onshore is the Jozani Forest, home to the red colobus monkey, Sykes' monkey, butterflies, millipedes, frogs, birds and many amazing species of flora including mangroves. You could also travel to the famous spice and fruit plantations of Zanzibar while holidaying in this part of Tanzania. Here, you will have an inquisitive opportunity of viewing the spices that lend that special flavor to your food, growing on the trees. Learn to discern, harvest and tasting them in their organic form. Sample the unique fruits that grow here such as paw paws, bungo, shoki shoki, custard apples and durian, to name a few.



As you tour through these farmlands, you will understand why Zanzibar was such an important port on the spice route in its heyday. To discover more remnants from its past, you could visit its capital, Stone Town. Merchant houses dating back centuries, and tiny antiquated shops line the narrow alleyways offering you intricately carved artifacts that you can take home as mementos of your seaside trip in Zanzibar with AfricanMecca. But the island capital has more. There are many deep-ocean sites around it where you can try fishing for yellowfin tuna, wahoo, marlins, swordfish and many more.
