Tour Plan
Once at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, you will be received by a representative who will then take you on a private transfer to the resort of your choice, either The Residence Zanzibar or the Gold Zanzibar Beach House and Spa, which are 5-star hotels. You can enter an ocean villa that has the view of the sea and you would be served with a welcome cocktail and fresh towel. During the afternoon, one can rest by the infinity pool or walk along the soft white sands. You can have a romantic dinner in the beach as the sun sets over the horizon, with the breeze of the sea and candlelights.
After the breakfast, there will be the commencement of a guided tour of Stone Town privately. This is a UNESCO World Heritage site with a combination of Swahili, Arabic and European influences that have small streets with cut wooden doors and some of the well-known sites include the Old Fort, the Sultan palace and the ancient Slave market Museum. The guide will tell interesting stories related to the spice trade of Zanzibar and its rich cultural melting. This is followed by a lunch at a rooftop restaurant with a view of the city, and thereafter you can go back to your resort to spend a peaceful evening at the sea.
Zanzibar, the Spice Island will also be discovered today by visiting a traditional spice farm. In this place, you will see, touch, and taste fresh cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla and cloves and local farmers will show how they grow them and how they can use them in food (Swahili cuisine). It will serve a Swahili lunch made out of organic products produced on the plantation. The rest of the day is at your own pleasure, you can rest at your villa or even swim in the turquoise lagoon.
It is a day of indulgence and adventure. You will take a personal yacht on an unforgettable trip to the Mnemba Atoll which is one of the most amazing marine reserves in Zanzibar. Snorkelling through vibrant coral reef will display an array of tropical species of fish and chances of seeing playful dolphins are likely to be encountered. It will be a champagne lunch as you sail on the crystal-clear waters around the island. In the late afternoon you will come back to your resort and a relaxing massage by the sunset will be offered.
A comprehensive couples massage using natural Zanzibar oils can also be performed after breakfast. This spa experience is likely to revitalize your body, mind and make you feel completely cool. You can spend the remaining day by the sun bathing by your own pool or having cocktails by the beach. A fine seafood, tropical fruits, and fine wine dinner will be offered under the stars in the evening.
The modern day agenda is centered on the romantic appeal of Zanzibar. A village located close to Nungwi will be visited to get to know the local customs and then a personal dinner will be held in a beach restaurant. Your candlelit dinner will be accompanied by cultural dance performance and live music. That will be followed by an after-dinner walk along the beach under the moon where honeymooners and couples will find the best hideout place.
You may take your own time to this day. The tame waters of the Indian ocean have optional water sports such as jet skiing, paddleboarding, or kitesurfing. Nature lovers can choose a mangrove kayaking guided tour or touring Jozani Forest which can be organized on request. The day will be topped off by a silent sunset cocktail at the infinity bar within the resort, which is a perfect close to a wonderful day.
After spending a casual morning, a traditional dhow tour on the coastline of Zanzibar will be started. The sky will change gradually to the colour of orange and pink as the sails will be driven by the wind. You will be able to listen to the waves as you are sipping the chilled wine and having light snacks. You will go back to shore before night, and have a romantic dinner and a private one set up between you and your companion.
The last full day in paradise is to reflect and be rejuvenated. You can sleep in, have breakfast in bed, or you can spend your time strolling along the beach. Afternoon suggests swimming, photo session, or couples photoshoot as an optional activity to make the memories unforgettable. The evening meal will also be served with a private beachfront experience, including torches, flowers, as well as the soft beat of the ocean.
Finally, have a last supper before the sea. Savour the final scenes of the blue waters then get a personal transfer to the airport. You will get memories of this Luxury Zanzibar Escape once you get on a flight; your journey will be characterized by sophistication, serenity, and affiliation.
