5 Days Explore Zanzibar Luxury Beach Holiday

Upon your arrival at Zanzibar Airport, you will be met by your guide and transferred to your hotel in Stone Town.

As the old city and cultural heart of Zanzibar, Stone Town is a fascinating place where little has changed in the last two centuries. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its winding alleys, bustling bazaars, mosques, and grand Arab houses, whose original owners famously competed over the extravagance of their homes.

The evening is at your leisure to relax or to enjoy a walk through the narrow streets.

Main Destination: Zanzibar Stone Town

After a leisurely breakfast, you’ll journey into the island's past. Your first stop is a guided Spice Farm tour. Here, you'll awaken your senses, discovering why Zanzibar is "the Spice Island" as you see, smell, and taste exotic fruits, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, and cinnamon.

Following the tour, you'll head to Stone Town, the historic heart of Zanzibar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your guide will lead you through a labyrinth of winding alleys, showing you the grand Arab houses, bustling bazaars, the Old Fort, and the former slave market, bringing the island's rich and complex history to life. You'll return to your resort in the afternoon.

Today is dedicated to the stunning beauty of the Indian Ocean. You'll embark on a full-day "Safari Blue" excursion, sailing from the coast on a traditional wooden dhow. Your destination is the Menai Bay Conservation Area, renowned for its pristine snorkeling.

You will stop at two different snorkel spots to swim amongst vibrant coral reefs and schools of tropical fish. A highlight of the day is a stop at a beautiful, disappearing sandbank, where you'll feast on a fresh seafood barbecue lunch. After a full day of sun, swimming, and sailing, you'll return to your resort in the late afternoon.

This day is entirely yours to indulge in the luxury of your resort and the beauty of the beach. Enjoy a long, relaxed breakfast, claim a lounge chair by the pool, or book an optional spa treatment. Read a book, take a long walk on the pristine beach, or try some of the resort's water sports. This is a day for pure, uninterrupted relaxation in your tropical paradise.

Enjoy a final breakfast at your resort, taking in the last views of the ocean. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for one last swim or to find some last-minute souvenirs. At the appointed time, your private driver will transfer you back to Zanzibar Airport for your onward flight, leaving you refreshed and with unforgettable memories.
