Location

Zanzibar White Sands Luxury Villas and Spa is located on the east coast of Zanzibar overlooking Paje Beach, a long strip of white sand close to Bwejuu village and a selection of beachfront restaurants and hotels. It’s around an hour drive from Stone Town but with so much to do at the resort itself from watersports to boat cruises and island hopping, there’s almost no need to leave.

Rooms

The deluxe rooms, although varying in size, are each decorated in warm, neutral tones, light hardwood floors and plenty of floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the lush gardens. Some offer pools or private hot tubs. The Cinnamon rooms are the smallest yet still offer plenty of luxury with outdoor hot tubs, terraces and private gardens. The one-bedroom villas has a rooftop terrace with views over the beach, a private plunge pool, direct beach access and the addition of a secluded outdoor bathroom with bathtub and shower.

Communal Areas

The main restaurant at Zanzibar White Sand is Doors To Zanzibar, with its upscale atmosphere and a la carte menu enjoyed in a high ceilinged room underneath nacre chandeliers or out on the terrace. The Beach restaurant is more relaxed with perfect views of the turquoise ocean and a beach bar for pina coladas by the water. Watch the African skies turn pink at the Sunset Bar or relax with Wi-Fi and a book from the library at the Lounge Bar. An outdoor gym and spa sit in circular huts around the swimming pools

Activities

Rent bikes from reception to explore the extensive grounds surrounding Zanzibar White Sands Luxury Villas and Spa or visit nearby Bwejuu. Take a tour of the vibrant Stone Town and go island hopping and snorkeling in the Indian Ocean. The hotel can organise trips to visit the red colobus monkeys in Jozani Forest or the spice farms to learn of the plants and their exotic smells. Climb aboard traditional dhows to cruise the ocean and visit a hidden sand bank in the middle of the ocean or go diving among Zanzibar’s beautiful coral and sea life.

DRY SEASON

A brief interlude of dry and sunny weather before the long rains arrive in late March.

Its proximity to the equator and position on the Indian Coastline means that Zanzibar has a tropical climate with consistent warm-to-hot temperatures throughout the year. The midday temperature averages around 32°C/90°F through the majority of the year. Mornings are more pleasant at 22°C/72°F on average.

There are two wet seasons in the majority of Tanzania, and Zanzibar is no exception. The first, known as the ‘long rains’, takes place between March and May, while the milder short rains take place between October and December. Between these, there are two drier spells, January – February and June – October.

DRY TO WET SEASON TRANSITION

The beginning and end of the rains varies each year, but generally this period is the wettest time of the year. This wet season is often characterised by overcast skies, consecutive days of rain, and relatively strong winds. Water clarity is also quite poor.

Overall, this is a poor time of year to visit, though bargains can be found with the relatively cheap low season rates.

WET SEASON - 'SHORT RAINS'

This is a rather unpredictable time of the year, with occasional heavy showers or thunderstorms interspersing the sunny spells. While technically the wet season, the rains are not as intense during this period as during the long rains. November can therefore still be a good time to visit. Water clarity can be surprisingly good, making it possible to go scuba-diving and snorkelling.
