Only a 20 min boat ride from Stonetown, this beach

Only a 20 min boat ride from Stonetown, this beach is actually a sandbar and is located in the middle of the ocean and has some of the clearest turquoise water I've ever seen! 😍🩵 My boat captain brought fruits, water, and put up a shelter for some shade- all you need to chill out here! I'd recommend spending a half day (morning or afternoon)!

Don't miss this experience when you visit Zanzibar!

📍 Nakupenda Sandbank, Zanzibar

Save this hotel for your Zanzibar trip! It's the most beautiful hotel in Stonetown, Zanzibar and it's centrally located in the old town so everything is walking distance including Stonetown's beach and famous night market at Forodhani Gardens which is right on the waterfront! 🇹🇿

📍The Neela Boutique Hotel, Stonetown, Zanzibar

Zanzibar itinerary!⬇️🇹🇿 (7 day or 10 day trip!)

1) Arrive + spend 2 days in Stonetown. Most travellers spend all their days on the beach but you will definitely miss out if you don't make room for a visit to Stone Town in your itinerary! Explore the historic narrow streets, visit the Old Fort, wander through the Forodhani Gardens, and immerse yourself in the local culture at the Darajani Market. Don't miss the House of Wonders and the Stone Town Palace for a glimpse into Zanzibar's rich history!

2) Next, spend 5-8 days enjoying Zanzibar's incredible beaches. Choose to stay in Paje or Jambiani in the SouthEast, Nungwi or Kendwa in the North or Bwejuu in the South. If you have a longer stay, split your time between two of these areas. Here's info of each beach area so you can choose the right vibe for your trip:

Nungwi: Located on the northern tip of Zanzibar, Nungwi is one of the most popular beach destinations, known for its beautiful white sand, clear waters, and vibrant nightlife. It also has a variety of accommodations, from budget to luxury resorts.

Kendwa: Just south of Nungwi, Kendwa is quieter but equally beautiful, with calmer waters. It's ideal for sunbathing & swimming.

Paje: Situated on the southeastern coast, Paje is known for its long stretches of white sand. It's a more laid-back beach compared to Nungwi or Kendwa.

Pingwe: 20 mins from Paje. If you like a serene, chill beach vibe- and want to be close to is the famous "The Rock" resto!

Jambiani: Also on the southeast coast, Jambiani is a peaceful village with pristine beaches, offering a more authentic and tranquil Zanzibar experience. It's perfect for those looking for a quiet getaway, with a slower pace of life.

Bwejuu: Another southern beach, Bwejuu is quieter than Paje and offers beautiful coral reefs for snorkeling and a more relaxed atmosphere.
