When planning a trip to a distant location (and one that, for that very reason, can also be expensive), it is quite normal to try to do some planning because leaving too much to chance can, by necessity, also mean not having the opportunity to save much money and perhaps precluding oneself from the opportunity to organize one’s stay well, even from a value-for-money perspective.
It is normal, therefore, to ask questions and go looking for advice and suggestions on how to get the best out of your vacation, especially if the tourist destination is in a faraway place to which you have never gone and about which you know little (and knowing little, you do not always know your way around).
One of the questions we are often asked (in addition to the temperatures that can be found) is also about the most beautiful and sought-after area, the one that, in short, allows us to feel really comfortable: let’s see in this in-depth study which is the most beautiful area of Zanzibar, where to go and which coast to choose among those in the north, southeast, west and east, which are the most beautiful Italian villages and resorts and also some tips and advice for those who are on their honeymoon and want to live their honeymoon as an unforgettable moment.
Zanzibar’s most beautiful area: what are they and where to go
Let us start right away with a necessary premise: to those who are wondering which area is the most beautiful in Zanzibar, we have to answer that as much as it is right to plan and know as much as possible about the main information to enjoy your vacation to the fullest, you cannot take anything for granted because beauty is again very subjective and it is not certain that everyone likes the same things.
One could then make a distinction between types of experiences and rank which area is the most beautiful depending on the activities performed, but again one cannot please everyone since each taste is personal and each of us may have our own entirely understandable preferences.
In general, we can make some distinctions between the coasts, remembering that the northern part of the coast is a little less subject to the tidal phenomenon while the eastern part a little less, although there are exceptions.
All the coasts of Zanzibar are worthwhile. However, those who are very fond of the social life and want to have a travel experience more in the style of fun and hubbub should prefer the beaches and resorts located further north, such as the beaches of Nungwi or Kendwa (and consequently may also choose one of the many excursions organized in these areas) while those who would like to have a softer experience should definitely prefer the east coast, for example lingering on Paje beach that allows a better and more intimate contact with its nature that still has a wild and unspoiled flavor.
However, one cannot miss the opportunity to go on one of the many organized safaris (even to one-day safaris) to see the beauty of the place live, and go to the old part of the city to get a sense of the local history and culture that are certainly worthy of attention.
Most beautiful area of Zanzibar: the coasts in the north, southeast, east, west
Speaking of the coasts, they too all deserve some attention and are equally worthy of importance however, not all of us have the same passion and what may be interesting to some is a little less so to others.
For example, those who love the phenomenon of the tides or are simply intrigued by it must try this experience that in Zanzibar can become a real spectacle: the women who, bending over the sand wait for the low to harvest red seaweed (much in use in the cosmetic and food industry) are certainly a unique experience, which must be lived at least once in a lifetime. In this case you will have to venture to the eastern part of the coast, where nature still has a wild and unspoiled flavor, and the beaches seem to be less at human height: for this very reason these beaches are not very crowded, and are the ideal solution for those seeking some peace and quiet.
The best area for a first experience in Zanzibar is the north coast, and in particular the beaches of Nungwi and Kendwa: these beaches are a favorite of those who love to swim and are also an ideal solution for those who want to experience some boating. More peaceful and authentic experiences can be had, on the other hand, on Paje beach.
For all these reasons, staying in the north or northwest is more expensive than staying in the south, or further east, but with the right accommodations it is still possible to find some opportunities to save money.
Zanzibar’s most beautiful area: Italian villages and resorts
All the areas we have just mentioned are interesting because they are full of opportunities for choice and different proposals for all tastes. In fact, in each of these beaches there are both hotels and villages, as well as Italian resorts and local villages and resorts.The choice is mostly personal and also depends on the type of experience, itinerary and vacation one intends to live.
The Italian resort or village (such as the Royal Zanzibar Beach Resort located on the north coast, or Seaclub Royal Zanzibar, or even the Gem of the East) is undoubtedly the best choice for those who prefer an experience closer to their own habits and perhaps are visiting Zanzibar for the first time. All of the resorts mentioned are equipped with all the comforts for a truly unique experience, but always without detaching too much from one’s own habits (while maintaining a decor that tries to reflect the typical Zanzibarian style).
Honeymoon tips
A honeymoon in Zanzibar is an unforgettable and truly unique experience.Contrary to what you might think, in fact, Zanzibar is not just a location for singles but is also suitable for those who want to have a beautiful experience as a couple.
It is advisable, however, to plan each experience in good time, so as to be sure not to leave anything to chance and to really choose the solution that best suits your needs and requirements: among other things, by relying on the right tour operator it is also possible to focus on solutions that are advantageous both from the point of view of experiences and in terms of value for money.
