Golden Tulip Zanzibar Resort

On Zanzibar’s western shore in Bububu, just outside Zanzibar Town — a beachfront spot minutes from Chapwani Island and Livingstone’s House. About a 20-minute drive from Zanzibar Intl. Airport, this family-friendly resort sits near spice farms and Stone Town attractions.

Rooms (31–32 total) are individually furnished with memory-foam beds, Egyptian cotton sheets, flat-screen TVs and minibars. Many rooms offer private balconies with ocean or city views, and bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. The property blends Mediterranean styling with elegant, relaxed finishes.

Soak up sea-breeze mornings by the outdoor pool or grab a bike to explore the coast; there’s also a fitness center and a diving club for active days. Concierge, babysitting (surcharge), wedding services, shuttle options and on-site parking keep stays easy and flexible. Expect poolside drinks and a lively reception each evening.

A business center plus a conference room (about 861 sq ft / 80 m²) and meeting facilities make this a viable pick for small events. The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, limo/town-car service and complimentary wireless internet across the property.

Dhow Restaurant on the upper floor serves international dishes with pool and beachfront views, and daily buffet breakfast is provided each morning. 24-hour room service, a coffee shop and poolside bar round out options, with local flavors available alongside global favorites.
