The Fairmont Zanzibar is located on the Northeast coast of Ungunja, Zanzibar's main Island.  The resort is 45 minutes from Zanzibar International Airport.

The resort has benefited from the recent renovation which saw over $10 million USD in improvements.  The hotel now offers 109 newly renovated and comfortably appointed rooms and suites that are spread throughout the vast and lush tropical gardens of the resort. Fringed by the powder white 45 kilometers long sandy beach of the East coast, the resort occupies a stretch of 350 meters of pristine open beachfront.

Zanzibar is located within the beautiful waters of the Indian Ocean, 25km off the coast of Tanzania.  Numerous countries that visited over the past centuries have influenced the island and that has created a truly unique blend of cultures.  It is reflected in the architecture, cuisine and day-to-day life.

The waters surrounding the island are spectacular and diving enthusiasts have started to flock to Zanzibar.  The resort’s exceptional dive centre makes Fairmont Zanzibar the perfect home base for a diving holiday.
