Beach locations at it finest
East Africa has a variety of “beach options” when it comes to really relaxing after a safari or mountain climb. The warm turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean make any beach extension incredibly inviting especially since many of the beaches are fringed with tropical coconut palms and have fine, white sand which trickles between the toes.
We have put together a number of beach hotels which can be added to your safari or mountain climb below.
Zanzibar Island
Zanzibar Pearl Boutique Hotel & Villas
Zanzibar Pearl is located in Matembwe in north-eastern Zanzibar directly on the sea front at a white sandy beach with palm trees and the Indian Ocean as far as you can see. It is the place to be if you’re looking to relax and long to hold a book in one hand and a drink in the other.
The hotel has 24 rooms placed on a 39,000 m² property with a beautiful tropical garden.
SeVi Boutique Hotel Zanzibar
Nestled in the tranquil north of the island, where the turquoise waves of the Indian Ocean gently lap against the powdery white sandy beach – there you’ll find the SeVi Boutique Hotel.
The 13 bungalows and one villa are built in typical Zanzibar style and are spread out in a tropical garden. With their palm-thatched roofs and African decor, they create a beautiful atmosphere and invite you to dream on their spacious terraces.
Mafia Island
Butima Beach Lodge
Butiama Beach Lodge is situated on the west coast of Mafia Island, outside of the Marine Park bounderies. The lodge is the perfect beachfront retreat to relax and unwind. The beach is the departing point to go to swim with whale sharks.
With only 13 bungalows and a maximum occupancy of 32 people it allows you to have privacy and space. We are a family business and aim for casual and relaxed atmosphere which caters for couples, friends or families.
