Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa – Zanzibar ★★★★★

A magical mix of sun, sand and endless luxury.

By Grace Stephen, VeryChic correspondant
At the point where Africa, the Middle East, and Asia intersect, you’ll find Tanzania – a place of bleach white sand, historic and exotic architecture, traditional villages, sleepy spice-laden markets, and fruit-heavy farms… a land rich in stories and steeped in adventure. Most importantly, though, here you’ll find the BlueBay Beach Resort Zanzibar, itself a point where the rich and varied culture of Zanzibar meets the very best of modern luxury and excellence, a hotel simultaneously sumptuous and serene.

Zanzibar evokes images of winding jungle paths, soaring minarets and exquisite architecture. It lies at the confluence of Africa, Asia and the Middle East, possessing all the wonder of the exotic east as well as the ultra-modern west. Surrounding all of this is the soft blue ocean. Tempted yet? The BlueBay Beach Resort, Zanzibar offers every guest the best of Zanzibar served up on a golden platter. Thirty acres of landscaped green and 1,000 palm trees make this a palatial oasis, with the glittering turquoise ocean as your neighbor.
