Karafuu Beach Resort & Spa

Winner of the World Travel Awards 2011!

Karafuu Hotel Beach Resort is an international five-star hotel considered one of the most luxurious hotels in Zanzibar and winner, for the sixth consecutive year, of the World Travel Awards 2011 as Tanzania’s Leading Resort & Africa’s Leading Beach Resort. It is ideally located on a blissful stretch of palm-fringed beach with white sand and dazzling blue water on the East coast of the island.

The spacious, cool reception area under the Makuti (palm thatch) is impressive and you instantly know you are in a top-notch hotel. There is an enormous swimming pool around which you will find guests soaking up the sun. A little further along is the beach, with a generous strip of sand and sun loungers set a good distance apart from each other. Warm hospitality comes naturally to the Swahili staff, who are impeccably dressed in long, robed uniforms. We rate the service at Karafuu as excellent. The air-conditioned hotel has 89 rooms and all the expected facilities - fully equipped dive centre (PADI), boutique, tennis courts, gymnasium and the new Spa. The rooms are extremely comfortable and styled in a modern Zanzibar theme. Karafuu is the only hotel on the East coast where you can enjoy a comfortable and safe swim in the ocean at low tide. A concrete path in front of the hotel leads you from the beach to a permanent natural depression in the ocean bed, just 200 metres offshore. This offers a giant natural swimming pool - deep enough for small boats to moor in.
