Bluebay Beach Resort

Bluebay Hotels also own Stone Town's Beyt al Chai, described elsewhere, together with a further large resort hotel just nearby.

Its 112 rooms, set among 25 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, are all tastefully decorated using local Zanzibari furnishings, with four poster beds, ceiling fans and air-conditioning.

There is a choice between 5 bars and restaurants, each with its own distinct character, and the resort also posesses a Fitness Centre and Water Sports Centre (containing Zanzibar's first PADI Diving Centre) It also offers floodlit tennis, beach volleyball, table tennis, snooker and billiards. Big Game Fishing is also catered for here.

As befits a resort hotel of this quality, there is also a fashion boutique, luxury spa and even a children's club. Weddings (and of course honeymoons) are especially catered for here, including the provision of a full Maasai warriors' guard-of-honour!
