Zanzibar Beach Resort offers a rare combination on the island: a genuine beachfront setting with tropical gardens, yet only a few minutes from both the international airport and Stone Town. That convenience, together with pools, a spa and substantial conference facilities, makes it equally suited to leisure stays, safari extensions and business events. ## Where Is Zanzibar Beach Resort & What Wildlife Can You See? The resort sits on Zanzibar's southwestern coastline, roughly a 5 to 10-minute drive from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport and about 10 minutes from the Stone Town ferry terminal. Days here revolve around the Indian Ocean: snorkelling excursions, sunset views from the west-facing pool deck, and easy access to Stone Town's historical tours, spice plantations and dhow trips to nearby sandbanks. ## Rooms & Style The 84 rooms are arranged as independent chalet-style accommodation in standard, deluxe and family categories, each with a private balcony or terrace catching the sea breeze. Swahili coastal touches soften the practical layout, and dining runs from international buffets and fresh seafood to vegetarian options. Outdoor cinema nights, tennis and volleyball, Swahili language lessons and an on-site diving centre give the resort more activity depth than its relaxed garden setting initially suggests. ## Who Is It Ideal For? - Travellers with tight flight connections wanting beach time near the airport - Conference and incentive groups using the 6,000 sq ft event space - Safari guests decompressing after Serengeti or Kenya circuits - Value-focused holidaymakers exploring Stone Town and the island ## Pairs Well With Discover the wider island through our [Zanzibar](/tanzania/zanzibar) guide, or combine bush and beach on the [9-day Kenya and Zanzibar](/safaris/9-days-kenya-and-zanzibar) itinerary. ## Frequently asked questions ### How far is Zanzibar Beach Resort from the airport?
