A well-equipped resort offering a tranquil getaway
Location: Set on Zanzibar’s peaceful northeast coast, Ocean Paradise is around 45 minutes’ drive from Zanzibar Airport. The journey takes you through rural villages and unspoilt island scenery before arriving at a beachfront resort surrounded by palm trees and manicured gardens.
Rooms: There are 86 rooms and eight suites, all designed in traditional thatched rondavels and built using natural, locally sourced materials. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, ceiling fans, satellite TV, minibar and en-suite bathrooms, with either twin or king-size beds. Most look out to sea or the gardens through large patio doors. For larger groups or families, the resort also offers spacious bungalows.
Amenities: There are three restaurants on-site, offering a mix of themed buffets, Zanzibari fusion cuisine and wood-fired pizzas. Facilities include a large swimming pool (the biggest on the island), a fitness centre and a tranquil spa with a range of massages and beauty treatments.
Activities: Ocean Paradise is well-placed for exploring the island or enjoying water-based adventures. The resort has a PADI-certified dive centre offering courses and guided dives for all levels. Guests can also try sailing, windsurfing, kayaking or dolphin tours. On land, popular excursions include visits to Stone Town, local spice farms and Jozani Forest.
Sustainability: The resort uses natural, locally sourced materials in its construction and supports the local economy by employing staff from the surrounding communities. Ocean Paradise also partners with certified dive operators to promote responsible tourism and protect the island’s coral reefs and marine life.
