Breezes Beach Club, Bwejuu, Zanzibar - Explore & Book
"East Africa is the land of safaris: tented camps, dusty Land Rovers, the call of the wild, and all that. But after the safari (or, dare I say, instead of it) you may just want to hole up for a week in a good old brick-and-mortar house, with comfy beds and air-con; and on your doorstep a swimming pool, tennis court, grassy gardens and an endless beach. If that's your style, you'll enjoy The Zanzibar Collection's Breezes Beach Club. The sea is warm and tropical, the sand is fine and white, and there's a water-sports / diving centre on site. Afterwards you can choose between a couple of bars and 4 restaurants, or watch live African dancing. Or, if the safari has been particularly full on, indulge in some spa or beauty treatments.This is a place to holiday rather than to travel. If you’re recovering from an exhausting wedding, or you've got a family in tow, or just fancy some European-style comfort on an African beach, then this is your best bet on Zanzibar. Highs The endless, sandy beach is right on your doorstepLots of activities to keep you occupied: diving, tennis, spaThe large swimming pool keeps the children happyHuge buffet spread and variety at mealtimes Well-appointed rooms, some with balconiesThe houses are spread around the palm-lined gardens, meaning you won't feel intrusive Lows Can be crowded in high season, but this reflects its popularityBedroom décor is not very AfricanSome activities cost extra, though there is plenty to keep you entertained that's included in the ratesIt’s larger and more resorty than we'd normally recommend, but very comfortable and well-organised" - Michael Cullen
