Known as Unguja in the native dialect of Kiswahili, Zanzibar Island is the biggest island in the archipelago of hundreds of coral reef islands, where Pemba and Unguja are the biggest ones. Zanzibar is a part of the United Republic of Tanzania, but claims and enjoys significant autonomy.
Situated in the Indian Ocean approximately 40km’s off the East African coastal town of Bagamoyo, Zanzibar enjoys a beautifully tropical climate, and is in fact the largest coral island on the east African coastline.
Zanzibar is widely regarded as one of the most intriguing and beautiful tropical islands in the world, and one of the top five dive spots. The Beach Villas are located on the most beautiful stretch of beach, near the fishing village called Pwani Mchangani, which means “the beach with the fine sand”.
