Choose Meliá for a resort-based beach extension, with the room category and package matched to your interests. Allow time to use the facilities and consider a Stone Town visit if you want a cultural contrast.

The right fit

Would Meliá Zanzibar suit you?

Who it suits

Travellers seeking a range of resort facilities and accommodation choices, rather than an intimate small beach lodge.

Things to consider

The estate is spread out, and rooms differ in their proximity to the beach. Confirm the actual category and package inclusions; private pools and upgraded services do not apply to every room.
