Bluebay Beach Resort

This is a large hotel, tastefully decorated in traditional Zanzibari style. This is a great option for families. They boast the biggest beds in Africa in some of their rooms!

Located on the east coast (not a bad drive from Stonetown), Bluebay is also close to the Mnemba Atoll for snorkeling and scuba. Many of our clients have liked the resort but didnt love their experience with the local dive shop.

This is the premier hotel of the Bluebay Hotels Group. It is a 5-star hotel spread over 30 acres of tropical gardens with over 1,000 palm trees - right on the edge of the wide and sandy white beach on the island of Zanzibar.

All rooms are tastefully decorated using traditional Zanzibari furniture to include large four poster beds with mosquito nets, a writing bureau, coffee table and easy chairs. They also include split-level air conditioners, ceiling fans, satellite TVs, mini-bars, hair dryers and telephones.

The Makuti Restaurant enjoys magnificent views over the modern deck level swimming pool to the ocean beyond and offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. The main bar located beside the swimming pool serves a wide selection of European and South African wines, local and imported beers, spirits and minerals as well as coffee, cappuccino and espresso. The Beach Bar and Restaurant, as the name implies, is situated on the very edge of the beautiful Indian Ocean and is an ideal place for guests to sip cold drinks or to enjoy a feast of seafood specialties, pizzas prepared in our authentic wood fired oven as well as other light fare, all served in an informal setting with toes in the sand and a magnificent thatched roof to shade you from the hot tropical sun.

Other facilities include an open air discotheque, a wide screen TV viewing facility, guest safes, a large fresh water swimming pool with adjoining open-air Jacuzzi and childrens paddling pool, a childrens club, a well-equipped dispensary with doctor on call, and a fantastic spa.

The hotel provides a fitness center featuring a range of modern equipment made in Italy by Technogym, a flood lit tennis court, 5-star PADI Scuba Diving Center (One Ocean Diving) and a Water Sports Center with windsurfers, canoes and sailing boats. Table tennis as well as snooker and billiards tables are also available.
