About the hotel

Welcome to Sultan Sands Island Resort, your gateway to a truly magical Zanzibar experience. Nestled beside our sister resort, Bluebay Beach Resort and Spa, we're perfectly situated on the breathtaking Kiwengwa beachfront, boasting expansive, sparkling sands on the east coast of the island. Just a leisurely drive of less than an hour from Zanzibar International Airport, our resort offers a unique African charm.

Immerse yourself in our uniquely constructed African resort, where 76 rooms are thoughtfully arranged in charming single-storey, African-style rondavels. Each of these is nestled within 25 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, a haven dotted with over 1,000 palm trees. You'll find yourself in a serene setting, framed by the natural beauty of Zanzibar.

Inside your spacious accommodation, discover tasteful traditional Zanzibar furnishings, complete with either a large bed or two queen-size beds, all adorned with mosquito nets. Modern comforts include split air conditioning, ceiling fans, satellite television, a minibar, hairdryer, safe, and telephone for your convenience. Each room also features a separate dressing room and a well-appointed en suite bathroom with a shower, leading out to your own private verandah or balcony.

Whether you're looking to relax by the swimming pool, maintain your fitness routine in the hotel gym, or enjoy a meal at our restaurant, Sultan Sands Island Resort has something for everyone. We also offer a TV lounge, a kids' club, a bar, a disco, and conference facilities for our business travellers.
