Sea Cliff Resort & Spa
With its remote location on the West Coast,
this hotel lies in one of the less developed
regions of Zanzibar, only 20 minutes from
the historic town of Stone Town.
The Resort is hidden away down a 4km track through a coconut
plantation and you emerge through the trees to a courtyard filled
with tropical flowers, palms and a stunning view of the deep blue
ocean. Modern and chic in typical Zanzibar Arabic style, and
offering a selection of interleading rooms and a kids club, this
resort is perfect for families. All of the main areas of Sea Cliff
such as the restaurant and bar offer panoramic views of the
Indian Ocean. Imagine eating breakfast overlooking the ocean
and having sundowners on the jetty.
Whilst the atmosphere is relaxed and tranquil, there is lots to do;
watersports, a gym, tennis and squash courts will keep you
occupied, not to mention the Par 71 Peter Matkovitch designed
golf course (9 holes and 18 tees) where you can even play “golf at
twilight”.
A visit to Stone Town via the resort’s complimentary shuttle service
is highly recommended, as is a horse ride along the beach at sunset

The island has a fascinating history and some unique flora and fauna too. Stone Town City Tour Follow the trail of the sultans, slaves and explorers through the winding streets and alleys of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Prison Island Home to a tortoise sanctuary, prison ruins and a hotel, this excursion allows time for interacting with the tortoises, snorkelling the spectacular coral reef and following the island’s hiking trails. Sandbank Picnic Full day excursion with a 5 Star seafood lunch on a sandbank, time to swim and snorkel, and then on to visit the tortoises on Prison Island before returning to Zanzibar. Sunset Dhow Cruise A magical sunset cruise with canapes, drinks and live music. Safari Blue Full day excursion on a traditional dhow to explore the Menai Bay conservation area, home to humpback and bottlenose dolphins.
