The Zanzibar Archipelago is a stunning collection of over 50 islands and islets in the Indian Ocean. The long stretches of sandy beaches symbolize the natural beauty of Zanzibar. The Zanzibar Archipelago has a diverse geography, defined by scenic fishing villages, idyllic beaches, and a rugged coastline. We vacation on the southwestern coast of Zanzibar, residing in a luxury, villas-only resort. We walk on a long stretch of white sand beach, observing beautiful white birds searching for food in the turquoise waters.
