Jambiani holidays

Holidays to Jambiani take you to the south-west coast of Zanzibar, where there's sun, sea and plenty of room to nap on the sand.

Jammy Jambiani

If you're looking for a hidden gem on Zanzibar's east coast, you're in the right place. Rock up to beachside Jambiani and you're in for great views, pristine waterfronts and total immersion in the laidback local lifestyle. Home to diverse marine populations and mouthwatering local fare, Jambiani's under the radar but never under expectations.

Life's a beach

The local favourite's Jambiana Beach, and it's easy to see why. Collect seashells, zone out on the soft white sands or snorkel through the clear waters for a chance encounter with marine locals. Those looking for a more touristy experience can drive eight minutes north to bustling Paje beach.

Sightseeing and seafood

When you're not soaking up rays, local restaurants offer Zanzibari cuisine and seafood so fresh you can watch it being hauled in from the net. For a break from the sand, check out Kuza Cave – the underground swimming spot's a chance to see some pretty unique sealife.
