Infinity pool and beachfront loungers overlooking the Indian Ocean at Meliá Zanzibar, Kiwengwa
BEACHFRONT · FIVE STARS

Meliá Zanzibar

A 300-metre beach at Kiwengwa, with an overwater jetty restaurant, an African-inspired spa, and villas with private infinity pools in The Level.

A quiet stretch of Kiwengwa's coast

Meliá Zanzibar sits on 16 hectares of grounds behind a 300-metre white-sand beach at Kiwengwa, on Zanzibar's east coast, with a coral reef offshore and the Indian Ocean changing colour through the day.

A wooden jetty runs out over the water to the resort's own overwater dining room, while The Level keeps its villas, pool and restaurant apart from the main resort for guests who want a quieter corner.
