Adventure seekers will find their paradise among the vibrant hues of the Indian Ocean and the rich, verdant landscapes of Zanzibar. The resort’s diving centre is a portal to marine splendour, offering guests the chance to swim alongside exotic fish and coral gardens. If you prefer to stay above the waves rather than below, there’s also an abundance of watersports options available, from kayaking to windsurfing. Meanwhile, equestrian adventures on the beach provide a unique blend of thrill and tranquillity, as riders can traverse the soft sands while looking out upon the ocean.
