Nungwi Beach Resort

Nungwi Beach Resort (operating prominently under the Sandies Baobab collection) is a grand, high-end tropical resort located on the northernmost tip of Zanzibar Island. Unlike the eastern coasts that experience dramatic tidal shifts, Nungwi is globally famous for having a pristine stretch of white sand that remains completely swimmable throughout the entire day. The resort is beautifully framed by massive, ancient baobab trees and faces the crystal-clear, turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, establishing an ideal paradise for beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts.

The accommodation offers a diverse selection of spacious, air-conditioned rooms and standalone garden bungalows designed to accommodate couples, solo travellers, and large family groups. The interiors feature traditional Swahili structural finishes, elegant canopy beds with mosquito netting, flat-screen televisions, and private digital safes. Each room opens up to a private patio or a personal viewing balcony overlooking either the lush tropical gardens or the brilliant oceanfront, and connects to a clean en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower.

The resort operates a comprehensive all-inclusive hospitality model, featuring an expansive oceanfront restaurant serving themed international buffets and a lively beach bar serving complimentary tropical cocktails. Amenities are highly developed, including a stunning outdoor swimming pool, a full-service wellness spa, a PADI-certified diving center, and an evening entertainment stage hosting traditional acrobatics and live music. Its location also grants guests easy walking access to the vibrant Nungwi village, local fish markets, and dhow-building yards.
