Fueled by a tourism boom, Zanzibar offers a vibrant real estate market. The range of accommodations is diverse, from luxury resorts and boutique hotels to modern condominiums and villas. Foreign investment is primarily facilitated through long-term 99-year leaseholds on property, offering attractive rental yields and capital appreciation potential.

Visit Stone Town

Stone Town is Zanzibar's historic heart and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Its labyrinthine alleys reveal a unique blend of Swahili, Arab, Indian, and European architecture and cultures.

Prison Island and Nakupenda Sandbank

Just off Stone Town, Prison Island offers a historical glimpse and a chance to meet giant Aldabra tortoises. Nearby, Nakupenda (Swahili for 'I love you') is a shifting sandbank paradise, famous for pristine white sand, crystal-clear water, and fresh seafood BBQs.

Spice Farm and Jozani Forest

Spice farms and Jozani Forest showcase in a special way Zanzibar's natural wealth. The Spice Farm is a sensory feast where you touch, smell, and taste exotic herbs. Jozani Forest is home to the endemic and charismatic Red Colobus monkeys and features a serene mangrove boardwalk.

Safari Blue

Safari Blue is one of Zanzibar’s most popular sea adventures, offering a full-day tour at Nianembe Island. Guests sail on traditional dhows through Menai Bay, snorkel over vibrant coral reefs, relax on sandbanks, and swim in a mangrove lagoon. It’s a perfect blend of relaxation, marine exploration, and authentic Swahili hospitality.

Dine at the Rock Restaurant

The Rock Restaurant is one of the world's most unique dining spots, perched atop a solitary coral rock off Michamvi Pingwe beach. Famous for its surreal location, you can walk to it at low tide or take a boat when the ocean rises.

Snorkelling at Bluee Lagoon/Mnemba

These two locations offer Zanzibar's premier underwater experiences. Mnemba Atoll, a protected marine area, is famous for its vibrant coral gardens, sea turtles, and dolphins. The Blue Lagoon, a calm, shallow natural pool near Michamvi, is perfect for beginners to see colorful fish and abundant starfish.

Swim in the Caves

Jambiani is home to the famous Caves like Maalumu Cave, Swahili Cave and Kuza Cave. These are stunning limestone sinkholes filled with crystal-clear, turquoise freshwater. The hidden natural pools, believed to hold cultural significance, offer a refreshing dip amidst ancient formations and lush jungle, providing a unique and tranquil underground oasis experience.
