Meliá Zanzibar

Meliá Zanzibar is a large and comprehensive all-inclusive resort on the east coast of the island, offering 286 rooms across several categories from standard rooms to over-water suites positioned directly above the Indian Ocean lagoon. The resort's extensive facilities, multiple pools, a full-service spa, beach club, five restaurants, and water sports centre, make it a genuinely self-contained luxury beach holiday destination.

The over-water suite concept, a rarity on Zanzibar, makes Meliá particularly distinctive, and the all-inclusive format ensures that guests can relax completely without additional costs. The Kiwengwa beach location, on the protected east coast with shallow coral-reef snorkelling directly from shore, is excellent year-round except during the April–May long rains.
