4* Zanzibar Bay Resort

Flanked by a national park and a picturesque bay, the village of Marumbi is a serene retreat positioned midway along Zanzibar's east coast, boasting a collection of hotels and traditional houses. Marumbi caters to adventure enthusiasts with an array of thrilling water sports activities like windsurfing, kiteboarding, and scuba diving. Off its shores, vibrant coral reefs teem with diverse marine life, from colourful fish to graceful sea turtles and playful dolphins. Just a half-hour drive inland lies the renowned Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park, Zanzibar's sole national park, a premier wildlife-spotting destination, and a sanctuary for the rare and endangered red colobus monkey. The forest also shelters a myriad of other plant and animal species, including exotic birds and enchanting butterflies. Here, beneath the dense forest canopy, visitors can kayak along winding mangrove forests - one of the largest in the world.. At dusk, authentic East African dhow boats embark on sunset cruises across the bay.
