Jetsetter

"Family-friendly resort with thatch-roofed suites and a vast infinity pool overlooking Zanzibar’s coral-fringed coast." Full review

Those with a penchant for doing little can settle into a lounge chair beside the enormous infinity pool, relax in the spa, choose between the three on-site restaurants or quaff vodka-cranberries in the art gallery.
