Best Hotels for Couples in Zanzibar

Zanzibar is just as exotic as it sounds, a white-sand-fringed island known for its Arabian architecture, unspoiled beaches, fantastic diving opportunities and wonderful cuisine. It’s the perfect island for a couples' escape, or a romantic, adults only beach break. If you and your loved one like to relax on postcard perfect beaches you need never leave the hotel or resort. But if you enjoy a adventure Zanzibar can oblige too: get under the water and explore the coral reefs, visit the island’s ruined Arabian palaces and historic sites, meet the local giant tortoises or explore the winding alleyways of Zanzibar’s main town, Stone Town. If you’re looking for total privacy, you may want to stay on one of Zanzibar’s private island resorts - which are perfect for honeymooners. Some of them offer wedding services too…
