Property Overview

Tanzanite Beach Resort is a peaceful bungalow-style property on the northeast coast of Zanzibar, close to Nungwi. Its accommodation is arranged around gardens, an outdoor swimming pool and an oceanfront restaurant and bar area. The resort’s position is quieter than central Nungwi, while the town’s main beach and attractions remain within a short drive. Guests have access to a spa, restaurant and tour services covering excursions, water sports and mainland safaris. The property currently accommodates couples and families, with sea-view, garden and family room categories available.

How far is the nearest beach?

The resort is directly beside the ocean, with access to the shoreline by steps from the restaurant and bar area. This section of coast is rocky and affected by the tides, so the sandy main beach at Nungwi, approximately 1.4 kilometres away, may be preferable for extended swimming and beach walks.

Distance from Airport

Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is approximately 55 kilometres from Tanzanite Beach Resort. The property is located at the northern end of Zanzibar, so travellers should allow sufficient time for the road transfer between the airport and Nungwi.

Rooms

Accommodation options include garden bungalows, sea-view bungalows and Family Rooms with Sea View. The rooms are set within the resort’s bungalow-style layout and include air conditioning, private bathrooms and outdoor space such as a balcony or terrace. Family accommodation provides two king-size beds for up to four guests, while the Deluxe Bungalow with Sea View is arranged for two. Room position and outlook vary by category, so travellers should check whether they prefer a garden setting or an ocean-facing option when booking.

Food & Drink

The resort’s restaurant serves international dishes alongside evenings dedicated to Zanzibari cuisine, reflecting the island’s African, Arab and Indian culinary influences. Its oceanfront position provides sea views from the dining area, while the adjoining bar offers a relaxed place for drinks during the day and evening. A second restaurant serves international food at lunch and dinner.

Activities & Entertainment

The resort works with Amaya Tours and Travel to arrange day excursions, water sports and safari extensions on the Tanzanian mainland. Guests can also spend time around the outdoor swimming pool or use the property as a quieter base for exploring Nungwi and the north of Zanzibar. The exact water-sport programme is subject to local availability, while the rocky shoreline makes reef shoes useful when entering the sea directly in front of the resort.

SPA & Wellness

The resort has an on-site spa offering treatments such as massages and facials. Its oceanfront setting allows guests to combine a treatment with quieter time around the pool or gardens. Available treatments and opening hours should be confirmed when booking.
