Property Overview

Paradise Beach Resort is a family-friendly beachfront property in Marumbi, on Zanzibar’s east coast between Chwaka and Uroa. Its accommodation includes standard rooms, larger family options, suites, swim-up rooms and bungalows, making it suitable for couples, groups and families with children.

The resort has three swimming pools, a separate children’s pool and a long jetty extending over the Indian Ocean, with a bar, sun deck and swimming platform. Guests can also use the kids’ club, playground, spa, gym and PADI dive centre.

Paradise Beach Resort is located next to Zanzibar Bay Resort, and guests can make use of the shared dining and leisure facilities available across the two properties.

Food & Drink

Dining is shared with the neighbouring Zanzibar Bay Resort, giving guests access to a buffet restaurant, two speciality restaurants and four bars.

Makuti serves the resort’s main buffet meals, while Bataar and Namaste provide alternative speciality dining. The all-inclusive offering covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, morning and afternoon snacks, and a selection of house alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Sports & Entertainment

The resort has three swimming pools as well as a separate children’s pool. Its jetty includes sunbeds, a bar and a platform from which guests can enter the water, offering an alternative swimming point when tidal conditions affect the shoreline.

A daily entertainment programme provides organised activities during the day and evening. The resort also has a gym, kids’ club, playground and trampoline, while excursions can be arranged through the on-site desk.

A PADI dive centre assists with scuba diving and other ocean-based activities. Beach conditions vary with Zanzibar’s tides, so swimming directly from the shore may depend on the time of day.

The resort’s Spa & Wellness Centre provides a dedicated space for treatments and relaxation, supported by gym facilities for guests who prefer to stay active. Booking.com also lists a sauna, steam room and wellness treatments among the available facilities. Services and treatment schedules should be confirmed directly at the resort.
