Sultan Sands Island Resort & Spa is a charming beachfront retreat set on the dazzling shores of Kiwengwa Beach along Zanzibar’s picturesque east coast. Sharing the same long stretch of white sand with its sister property, Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa, the resort combines traditional Swahili and Arab architecture with modern comfort and warm island hospitality. Accommodation features 76 beautifully appointed rooms, each reflecting authentic Zanzibari style with carved furniture, thatched roofs, and private terraces overlooking tropical gardens or the turquoise Indian Ocean. Guests can choose from cosy Baobab Rooms nestled in the gardens, Pwani Rooms with views over landscaped grounds, or Bahari Rooms located closest to the beach for uninterrupted ocean vistas. Dining at Sultan Sands is an experience in itself. The Mwambao Restaurant offers buffet-style meals with spectacular ocean views and themed evenings filled with live entertainment. For something more intimate, the Kivuli Bar & Restaurant serves exquisite Far Eastern fusion dishes right on the beach, while Cinnamon Restaurant offers Indian-inspired cuisine in a relaxed setting. Guests can also enjoy refreshing drinks and light snacks at the poolside Mawimbi Bar, the perfect place to unwind as the sun sets over the sea. Leisure and wellness options include a large swimming pool, a fitness centre, tennis courts, and the tranquil Oasis Spa, offering rejuvenating treatments inspired by local traditions. The resort’s water sports and PADI dive centre invite guests to explore the vibrant marine life just offshore.

Due to the ongoing volatile nature of the South African Rand against all major currencies prices are subject to change due to currency fluctuations. Quotations are based on low season airfare costs and entry level room categories (unless otherwise stated). Prices are therefore subject to change due to specific airline booking classes and room categories not being available at time of booking as well as adjustments to airport taxes and airline levies and surcharges. Quotations do not constitute a booking and no reservations have been made. Standard Booking Terms & Conditions apply. Errors and omissions excepted.
It is essential, when choosing your holiday hotel, that you should know each country has different criteria of awarding star ratings to their hotels. Contrary to popular belief there is no global standard or unified rating system that offers a clear and cut guideline. The Rove Rating is based solely on our personal star rating of each hotel we have visited and inspected.
