Resort Description

Situated on a never-ending stretch of beach, Zanzibar Pearl Boutique Hotel offers views of the dolphin-filled Indian Ocean as far as the eye can see.

Close to the world-class Mnemba Atoll, and with Zanzibar's premier dive center just few steps away, this boutique hotel is a paradise for divers. The stunning suites and villas offer romantic canopied beds and amazing showers, as well as thoughtful touches like beach baskets, sarongs and bottled water. Treat yourself to a traditional massage with Zanzibar oils, or a manicure or pedicure at the onsite spa, hire a bike, or go for a long walk on the beach. The restaurant is situated in the main thatch area of the lodge and offers a small but thoughtfully planned menu that is served in surprise locations each night - sometimes round the pool, sometimes in the boma... where next?
