Resting on the southeast coast of the exquisite island of Zanzibar, Jambiani is a tiny fishing village which serves as a quiet retreat for travellers looking to escape the busy party scene that characterises the north of the island. The village sits on an idyllic stretch of white sand beach lined with palm trees as well as a number of relatively small guesthouses, hotels, and resorts. Visitors can look forward to relaxing on the beach and swimming in the clear, calm, aquamarine waters. Other popular activities include kiteboarding, sailing, visiting a local seaweed farm or snorkelling around the colourful coral reef.
