The Breezes
Picture Gallery

We want you all to fall in love with Zanzibar, particularly our kind, smiling & gentle staff, our breathtaking beach on the most private and untouched part of Zanzibar, the rich & exotic fabrics, the painstakingly carved furniture, our untouched corals & our whispering Palm trees.

The Breezes has its own distinctive charm, much of which stems from warm and welcoming service with characteristic attention to detail and a relaxed elegance. Rooms are spacious and air-conditioned, with en suite bathrooms, all tastefully furnished in authentic Zanzibari style. A choice of standard, deluxe and superior-deluxe accommodation is offered.

If you like all the comforts of a luxurious beach resort hotel with a few personal touches, Breezes Beach Club is an excellent choice. We think Breezes is one of the most romantic of the large resorts in terms of décor, service and style. It’s also ideally situated on the east coast, so endless white beaches, shady palm trees and a dazzling blue ocean lie in wait.

You’ll find all the expected beach resort facilities to keep any hint of boredom at bay - dive centre, watersports equipment, fitness centre (with a gym, aerobics classes, African dance classes and massage rooms), themed dinners and even a floodlit tennis court. There’s a band playing most evenings. You can slip into that little black dress and boogie the night away at the disco or kick back and sample cocktails in one of two bars. Life is, after all, a breeze. 

The atmosphere of the main lodge is romantic with flowing fabrics, draped from the makuti (palm-thatch) roof, fluttering in the balmy shore breezes. Hand-carved furniture, spice tables and antiques add a touch of Zanzibar charm. The hotel has recently been given an interior decorating facelift and is looking beautiful. 

The Eastern side of the island is influenced dramatically by the tide. At high tide you can plunge into the warm water and swim out from the top of the beach. At low tide the water recedes towards the distant, fringing reef, so you’ll need to walk out far in the shallows looking at the starfish and sea cucumbers (and minding you don’t step on a sea urchin). The gloriously large swimming pool is a welcome alternative for cooling off during low tide.

This family-owned hotel has been awarded a five-star grading and strives towards the philosophy of providing a home from home (if only home was this good). Families with children are catered for. Although this 70-roomed hotel is smaller than some, it can get pretty crowded over peak season. So if you’re

desperate to escape the human race, best choose a more intimate and exclusive guesthouse setting during the busy months. If money is no object, the hotel’s next-door residence, The Palms, provides the ultimate in luxury and exclusivity.

Special features: If you’re after a romantic island wedding, we will arrange an unforgettable ceremony. Honeymooners will also enjoy the romantic charm of Breezes with special surprises during their stay. 

 

Breezes Beach Club is situated near the small village of Bwejuu on the East Coast of Zanzibar. It is 60km from the airport, approximately an hours’ drive.

Zanzibar has an international airport with airlines like Kenya Airways providing direct international connections on a scheduled basis. From Europe, the principal carrier to Zanzibar is Kenya Airways stopping over at Nairobi. Numerous airlines including British Airways, Swiss Air, and KLM fly to Dar-es-Salaam, from where you can catch connections to Zanzibar easily using local airlines, air charters and by ferry.

From South Africa, South African Airlines now flies twice weekly direct from Johannesburg to Zanzibar, and though it’s partnership with Air Tanzania, is able to offer many more connecting routes.

KLM also flies into Kilimanjaro, from where domestic flights to Zanzibar can be arranged.

Breezes Beach Club & Spa would be happy to make the domestic arrangements such as domestic flights to and from Dar es Salaam and Arusha.

An airport tax of USD 25 is charged on departure. Keep small denomination notes ready, as dollar change may not be readily available. Airport departure tax for domestic flights is 7,000 TShs.

For guests arriving into Dar es Salaam, the option of a ferry is also available, although the domestic flights are much more convenient and time efficient. Breezes Beach Club & Spa would be happy to make the ticket bookings for the ferries.
