A beach holiday on the island where pepper grows
The gleaming white beaches on the island of Zanzibar, known for its spices, promise complete pampering and plenty of relaxation. During your holiday at the beach, you can breathe in the scent of pepper, cloves, and vanilla, while the azure sea gently laps around your feet, invigorating your senses. The crystal-clear water, which is warm all year round, and the white beaches with their powdery sand turn Zanzibar into an African dream destination where you can truly unwind. The tides provide a bit of variety and the option of exploring the seabed by walking along it.
On the east coast, wind and kite surfers can take advantage of the steadily blowing breeze, the shallow water, and the sandy surface. Surf spots such as Paje and Jambiani will delight surfers of all levels. And all around Zanzibar, a wonderful underwater world teeming with different species awaits below the surface of the Indian Ocean. A particularly worthwhile excursion for divers and snorkelers: sail from Fumba to the Kwale coral reef on a traditional dhow.
