Sunshine Bay Zanzibar - Adult Only is a beachfront boutique retreat in Matemwe, on Zanzibar’s northeast coast, created for adults looking for a peaceful and authentic island escape.
Set beside a white-sand bay and turquoise lagoon, the property combines a quiet natural setting with a relaxed barefoot atmosphere, making it well suited to couples, honeymooners, and travelers who want to slow down and enjoy the rhythm of the island.
The resort offers just 16 rooms, creating an intimate feel and a more personal stay. Accommodation is split between Deluxe Garden Suites and Deluxe Ocean Suites, both designed as spacious, comfortable bases between beach time, excursions, and dive days. In-room comforts include air conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, free Wi-Fi, two glass bottles of water with daily refill, and a minibar fridge upon request.
Dining focuses on a mix of international and African flavors, with meal plans available from bed and breakfast through full board. Guests can also dine around at the group’s sister properties with advance reservation, adding extra variety to the stay. Beyond the restaurant, the resort features three swimming pools, massage services, yoga, and plenty of quiet corners for relaxing by the sea.
For divers and snorkelers, Sunshine Bay is linked to DivePoint Zanzibar. The dive center is offsite rather than onsite, but free pickup is offered, making access straightforward for guests who want to combine a laid-back beach stay with time in the water. The resort also offers a complimentary shuttle between sister properties during scheduled hours, expanding dining and beach options during the stay.
