Breezes Beach Club & Spa, Zanzibar

Dotted amidst lush bougainvillea, frangipani and tropical palms, this family-owned resort has become a renowned landmark in Zanzibar. Fully air-conditioned, the Standard and Deluxe Rooms are located on the ground floor of each of the bungalows, whilst the Suites are on the upper floors and boast a spacious balcony. The traditional Zanzibar furnishings, personalized service, attention to detail and warm hospitality make Breezes a rare and wonderful find.

Food is an essential part of the Breezes experience. Four-course and themed buffet-style dinners are available in the main restaurant. There is a choice of bars where you can enjoy a casual, relaxed ambience whilst absorbing the warm, gentle sea breezes with a cocktail in hand. The Tides Restaurant offers private romantic beachfront dining, exclusively for two. Pre-booking is recommended.

The indulgent Frangipani Spa at sister property, Baraza, with its understated décor and traditional carvings, reminiscent of an ancient Swahili style, was the first of its kind in Zanzibar. You can enjoy an invigorating massage or even an ‘apres-safari’ treatment especially designed to soothe those aching muscles after the dust and bumpy roads of the African Bush.

The scuba diving centre caters for all abilities from beginners to the more advanced diver, and daily snorkeling trips are also available.
