Hotels in Zanzibar, Tanzania

Zanzibar is a tropical archipelago off Tanzania's coast, renowned for its spice plantations and pristine beaches. The climate stays warm year-round, with dry winters from June to October offering perfect conditions for kitesurfing on the Indian Ocean, while the rainy season from March to May is great for visiting the historic Stone Town with its 16th-century Portuguese fort and the House of Wonders. During the dry months, head to Nungwi Beach for sunset dhow cruises, but if you're on a budget, the green season brings lower rates and fewer tourists.
