Overview
About Meliá Zanzibar
Meliá Zanzibar is a sophisticated all-inclusive resort set on 16 hectares of land beside a 300-metre white sand beach, surrounded by a natural coral reef and located 45 km from Stone Town. Guests can choose from romantic rooms and private villas—some with private infinity pools—all offering Indian Ocean views. The resort features six restaurants and five bars serving local and international cuisine, an African-inspired spa with six private treatment rooms, and multiple infinity pools. The property is undergoing renovation ahead of a planned reopening as Gran Meliá.
“All-inclusive resort on 16-hectare beachfront with private villas and infinity pools; suits those seeking comprehensive beach luxury with multiple dining and spa options.”
