This longer 6-night Zanzibar extension is ideal for couples seeking a blend of culture and coast, beginning with an atmospheric stay in historic Stone Town before unwinding on one of the island’s most beautiful beaches.

Overview

This longer 6-night romantic Zanzibar extension is ideal for couples seeking a blend of culture and coast, beginning with an atmospheric stay in historic Stone Town before unwinding on one of the island’s most beautiful beaches at a Zanzibar beach resort. It offers a deeper sense of place than a simple beach escape, while still allowing ample time to relax and recharge.

Zanzibar is an alluring fusion of layered trading history and some of the Indian Ocean’s most seductive shoreline. Along the east coast, powder-white sands slope gently into clear, turquoise waters, fringed by coral reefs ideal for swimming, snorkelling and diving. Consistent coastal breezes also make this one of East Africa’s most appealing destinations for kite surfing. In contrast Pemba Island is known for its superb snorkelling and diving opportunities.

Key Highlights of Romantic Zanzibar Explorer (6 nights):
  • Atmospheric Stone Town stay with a private guided city tour
  • Five nights at a hand-picked romantic beach lodge
  • Flexible pairing with a Tanzania safari via scheduled flights
  • Excellent snorkelling, diving and water activities
  • Choice of intimate, adults-oriented beach retreats
Premier Option: The Island at Pongwe (Dinner, Bed & Breakfast)

An intimate, adults-only hideaway set on a private coral island, offering barefoot luxury, exceptional privacy and a deeply romantic atmosphere.

Alternative: We also recommend The Mora Hotel for travellers who prefer a more traditional resort experience with broader facilities.

 

Pemba Island option): Fundu Lagoon (Fully Inclusive basis)

A remote and naturally elegant island lodge on Pemba, renowned for outstanding diving, unspoilt reefs and a castaway sense of seclusion.

 

Reserve option:  Zawadi Hotel (Fully Inclusive basis)

A refined clifftop resort combining spacious private villas, sweeping Indian Ocean views and polished, all-inclusive comfort.

Good to Know
  • A more moderate beach resort can be substituted if required
  • April to mid-May is the wettest period, though showers are often short-lived
  • Scheduled flights connect Zanzibar easily with northern Tanzania (not included)
  • Beach tides vary along the coast and influence swimming times
