Best Honeymoon Hotels in Zanzibar

A tropical beauty like Zanzibar makes for a classic honeymoon destination. You’ve got the pristine white sand, clear waters, swaying palm trees, but Zanzibar also offers a wonderful cultural richness that influences the cuisine and architecture, as well as the gentle pattern of life here. Think dining on exotic food in the ruins of Arabian palaces, snorkelling or diving on pristine coral reefs, and browsing the lively markets of Stone Town. The island has a wealth of romantic hotels and resorts to choose from for your honeymoon. There are intimate, private island resorts; adults only beach lodges on remote stretches of sand; buzzy beach hotels in and around Stone Town; luxury resorts with all the trimmings; and some wonderful value beach-side cottages. Something to suit every sort of honeymoon!
