Mtende Beach

@sine

It used to be known as Hidden Beach, until it was 'discovered' in early 2021 by social media enthusiasts. The steps leading down to this beach have been features on Instagram many times! The landscape of this beach with its high coral cliffs used to be an insider tip, now you have a few hotels and catering options - worth a visit is Usumba Rock Restaurant, a locally owned place built on top of the cliff with great views.

Promised Land Lodge

@sine

There is no other place which makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk through their garden to the hammocks overlooking the sea or the loungers at the pool. The original vibe of Zanzibar's beach bars is back with the laid back atmosphere, pole pole service and reggae music. Just chill, nothing else to do here and thay is exactly how it should be.

Forodhani

@sine

Forodhani really comes to life from 5pm - watch the young men jump off the promenade into the shallow waters, taste one of the many Zanzibari specialties offered at the night market (shawarma, seafood, sugarcane juice and do not miss a Zanzibar pizza!), take a stroll and see Zanzibaris strolling along the promenade, enjoy a sundowner drink...

sasik - women's coop

@sine

one of the longest standing women's initiative around, this is a project worth visiting to shop for locally made artisan products - visit the shop and see the ladies sewing the cushion covers in the heart of historic Stone Town
