Dhow Resort Jambiani

Jambiani (Zanzibar), Tanzania View on map
8.7 Fabulous Based on 342 reviews
Editor's Pick

"The resort sits directly on Jambiani beach, featuring an upstairs dining area overlooking the water. A pool sits on the grounds, where colobus monkeys occasionally appear. Best for beach-seekers, less so for anyone requiring swift meal service."
