Hotels in Zanzibar

Why stay in Zanzibar?

Zanzibar is the Indian Ocean escape Israelis love: powdery beaches, turquoise water and indulgent resorts reached by a direct seasonal flight or a short connection from Tel Aviv. In the north, Nungwi and Kendwa offer easier all-day swimming, memorable sunsets, dhow cruises and hotels for couples, families and groups of friends. On the east coast, Paje draws kitesurfers and a younger crowd, while Stone Town's lanes, spice farms and snorkeling near Mnemba add culture and nature to the beach holiday. It is especially well suited to honeymoons, Sukkot or Passover breaks, and travelers seeking an accessible yet genuinely exotic taste of Africa.
