Zanzibar Pearl Main area beach entrance

Overview

Set on a long and beautiful stretch of white, sandy beach and surrounded by lush greenery, Zanzibar Pearl is at one with its natural surroundings. Sandy paths criss-cross the resort, wending their way through the towering palms to the beach.

Rooms

The 24 rooms and suites are in two-storey stone cottages with traditional Zanzibari mokuti roofs that blend in well with the surroundings. Inside they are simply but stylishly furnished, with tea and coffee station, ceiling fans and en suite bathrooms. All have outdoor space to enjoy the views – the Pearl Suites are oceanfront while the Oyster Suites overlook the tropical gardens. The Oyster Villas have a separate lounge and an air-conditioned bedroom while the Pearl Villa comes with its own pool. 

Facilities

The central area follows the traditional style with a high thatched roof and open sides to maximise the ocean breezes. Here, there’s a lounge, bar and seafront restaurant where freshly-cooked meals make the most of the island’s natural produce.

In the gardens there’s a swimming pool with sun loungers and a PADI dive centre with a teaching pool, with some excellent dive and snorkel spots just offshore. At 250 metres long, the hotel has the longest beachfront in Matemwe.

Zanzibar Catamaran SS
Trust stars

"We had an amazing, awesome trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. Everything ran smoothly and we managed to see the Big 5 plus lots of lions, tree lions cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, hippos, elephants galore etc. Even the wildebeest. The accommodation was great everywhere. We had the most wonderful time and despite the cost, the air balloon flight was so worth it. Such an experience, none of us will ever forget."

"Great holiday! Our safari guide was really good, knowledgeable, polite and sensible. The Lodge was really good, which offset Janes worries about a tent... but plush tent with ceramic loo! We saw the big 5 and scenery was amazing. Video of hippos still makes us laugh and warthogs really do hop like the cartoon Lion King. "

"We had an amazing holiday – more than we could have ever hoped for! We absolutely loved Tanzania. Our guide was fantastic. This was a first-time safari, so were very nervous but now want to go to Africa again!"
