On a deserted beach on the northern tip of Zanzibar stands Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel. The hotel is built from hand-cut fossilized coral limestone and other natural materials, and literally blends into the landscape. An eco-sensitive approach has ensured that the delicate balance of land and sea, flora and fauna is preserved for all to enjoy in the years to come and that you can enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings without forsaking creature comforts.

The hotel's lush gardens are crossed by a myriad of palm shaded pathways which drop down onto one of the finest and most unspoilt beaches on the island, which in turn is fringed by a wide and thriving coral reef.

Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel is an ideal location for all forms of water sports and is a perfect diving destination with its proximity to the some of Zanzibar's best reefs. It has a fully equipped PADI diving centre on site and a resident diving instructor. So, whether you are an experienced diver or a complete beginner, you can enjoy the underwater world.

There are plenty of other activities available including mountain bike hire to explore the hotel's environs, excursions to Stone Town, the spice plantations and Jozani forest. Alternatively you may just want to take long strolls along the beach or indulge yourself with a relaxing massage.

Ras Nungwi Beach Hotel is located on the northern tip of the exotic island of Zanzibar, Tanzania.
