Tanzania, Zanzibar, Nungwi, Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel

If you like diving, hammocks and if you don't hate honeymooners... Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel is the best. Laid Back luxury the owners call it, and it's 100% true. And what can be a better ending of a Tanzanian safari than the white sandy beaches of Zanzibar... For us it was the ultimate African dream combo.

The Northern tip of Zanzibar is known for its unspoiled beaches, beautifull nature and perfect diving. It is quite a drive from Stone Town so you should only go there if the beach is your destination; i.e. don't expect too much of the surrounding villages. But the resort offers so much peace and relaxation, that we did not even think about going elsewhere. There is a spa, a great bar and restaurant and numerous activities for restless souls like diving, snorkling, fishing, sailing, surfing, water skiing... the three days we stayed here were gone in a second.

Ras Nungi's USPs are the setting (cottages idyllically located at the beachfront in a lush tropical garden scenery) and the relaxed atmosphere (loungebeds and hammocks everywhere and a super friendly staff). We found a honeymoon present (Zanzibar spices) on our pillow with handwritten congratulations from the members of the staff and got a free bottle of champagne. And... not to forget: they organized a private beach dinner for us, complete with flaming torches... So I can only reccommend this one to you, especially as the rates are not top of the bill.
