Mizingani Seafront Hotel  

On Stone Town’s Forodhani seafront, right next to the Ferry Terminal and the Sultan Palace (Beit el‑Sahel). A short walk from the House of Wonders, Old Fort and the famous Forodhani Night Market. Zanzibar International Airport is about a 15‑minute drive away.

Housed in a restored 1865 palace once built for royal honeymoons, the property mixes antique pieces and four‑poster beds with modern Zanzibari decor. About 31 individually styled, air‑conditioned rooms feature ocean‑front or pool balconies, flat‑screen TVs and hamam bathrooms tiled in mosaic. The hotel uses solar panels for hot water, has a lift and a 24‑hour help desk.

Relax in the courtyard outdoor pool (and indoor pool options), unwind in the hamam, or hit the fitness and diving facilities nearby. There’s a terrace, garden, library, BBQ/picnic area and concierge‑run tours and shuttles; babysitting and roundtrip airport transfers are available for a surcharge. Expect sea‑breeze mornings and easy poolside lounging.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet is available throughout the hotel and a business center supports work needs. Rooms include desks and in‑room safes; dry‑cleaning and daily housekeeping help keep things moving.

Sip evening tea at the oceanfront restaurant while watching the Indian Ocean sunset, or dine at the poolside restaurant serving local and international dishes. Buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:00–10:00 for a fee, and limited room service is available. Forodhani food market is steps away for authentic Zanzibari flavors.
