Capturing the rich essence of the 'Spice Island', accommodation in Zanzibar tends to be a blend of the relaxed and the exotic. There are many excellent hotels, boutique establishments and fully inclusive resorts situated on the island's famous beaches but several fine hotels can also be found in heart of fascinating Stone Town, Zanzibar's historical capital. Often combined with a Tanzania safari, Zanzibar is nevertheless a holiday destination in its own right. Dive or snorkel teeming coral reefs, swim with dolphins, explore the nooks and crannies of Stone Town, embark on a Spice Tour or simply laze on the beach - with the right choice of Zanzibar accommodation, all of this and more is possible.
