Location
Zanzibar is a Tanzanian archipelago off the coast of East Africa. Known as the “Spice Island,” this island holds a storied history shaped by its pivotal role in the global spice trade of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Providing a scenic backdrop for an unforgettable stay, this Four Seasons resort’s lush tropical setting, white sand beaches, and bright blue waters will be just 23 miles (32 kilometers) off the coast of Tanzania and a short flight from the award-winning Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti.
In addition to providing easy access to mainland destinations in Tanzania, including Kilimanjaro International Airport, Zanzibar International Airport has daily flights from international carriers with direct flights to African, European, and Middle Eastern destinations and beyond.
Style & Character
With an array of influences spanning Europe, Africa, and Asia, Zanzibar today celebrates a rich cultural heritage, unique flora, and fauna, as well as excellent diving, snorkeling, and kiteboarding opportunities to explore the surrounding turquoise waters.
This incredible island’s dynamic character and beauty is showcased in the style of this new Four Seasons Zanzibar beach resort.
Rooms
Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar will include 60 private villas with one to three-bedroom configurations. Accommodations will feature interior design by MOMA and eco. id, each with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean across the 126-acre (50-hectare) beachfront property.

In addition to the highly acclaimed service and genuine care of Four Seasons, the Resort will include an expansive oceanfront pool with cabana service, a complimentary Kids For All Seasons Program, an array of water sports and excursions to discover the surrounding locale, extensive fitness facilities, dynamic meeting and event space, and a luxuriously-appointed spa featuring five private treatment rooms as well as an outdoor cabana for bespoke open-air spa experiences.
Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar will include a Discovery Centre staffed with a dedicated team of on-site conservationists to ensure that the destination’s incredible natural habitat is respected and protected.
With a mandate to advance responsible tourism throughout Zanzibar and beyond, the Discovery Centre will promote wildlife protection, sustainability, environmental preservation, and community partnerships to support guests and the surrounding community’s ability to leave an enduring, positive impact on their natural environment.
Food & Drink
Adding to Four Seasons’ strong history of culinary excellence and exceptional dining experiences, the Resort will bring five new original-concept outlets to Zanzibar.
