Bluebay Beach Resort & SpaZanzibar, Tanzania

Set on almost 500 metres of stunning white sand beach and surrounded by 30 acres of lush tropical gardens attracting exotic bird life, the Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa is a wonderful place to relax.

The Makuti Restaurant is the main eatery set around the large swimming pool, and if you book on All Inclusive, you’ll take all your meals here. Breakfast is a relaxed affair, offered buffet-style or from the live cooking stations. For dinner, you’ll be able to sample a variety of different cuisines during your stay through ten themed evenings, which include Indian, Swahili and Italian. And the theme carries on after dinner, when there’s entertainment ranging from Swahili dancers to acrobats. Each night there’s also live music from the resort’s resident band.

Other dining options include the Makuti thatch-roofed Beach Bar & Restaurant for daytime pizza and snacks, and the evening restaurant, Bahari Grill, which serves up an à la carte menu specialising in succulent steak and seafood.

At the Oasis Spa, ask the therapists to mix local spices and fruits right in front of you and you’ll see how freshly prepared the treatments are here. The spa has a small pool in a lovely stone-walled garden and seafront treatment rooms.

There are also plenty of activities both in and out of the water with the coral reef offering warm, safe swimming and a range of water sports are available. If you prefer dry land, perhaps a game of tennis or even volleyball to help build an appetite for dinner

All rooms are decorated in traditional Zanzibari style with four-poster beds. Comfortable Garden Rooms overlook the grounds, while the popular Superior Rooms are slightly elevated, offering views over the gardens to the beach and ocean beyond. Spacious Junior Suites are the closest to the beach and are split level, with a sitting area and an outdoor shower in the private garden.
