Entertainment is guaranteed at this hotel in Zanzibar, thanks to the many different activities we have on offer: entertainment programmes for all ages, a wellness centre and the option to play sports like tennis, kayaking, paddle boarding and beach volleyball, among many other choices. The youngest members of the family can enjoy the children’s area of the pool and also the mini club, a place for them to have fun on their holiday. In addition, in the wellness centre you can book a range of treatments to relax completely.

In Zanzibar, there are many places to explore, so we recommend booking an excursion to get to know the essence of what was once known as the Spice Island.
