The old part of Zanzibar City, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Stone Town, or Mji Mkongwe, as it’s also known, has been a heaven for free spirits and adventurers, ever since Vasco da Gama has arrived on this beautiful island for the first time, back in the 1500’s.
It’s a charming place to visit and discover, a place that could only benefit from the marvelous Park Hyatt Zanzibar, and its sublime services. This lavish beachfront hideaway is housed within a mansion which dates back to the 17th century, found at the center of a labyrinth of winding alleys, mosques and bustling marketplaces.
Showing off a classical exterior, this place becomes even more impressive the minute you pass its doors. Guests will be treated to an ultra-modern experience here, with amenities including the likes of an oceanfront infinity pool, a mesmerizing spa, courtesy of Anantara, and a fully-equipped fitness center.
Park Hyatt Zanzibar offers 67 gorgeous rooms, each of them beautifully decorated, with in-room luxuries and incredible views of the Indian Ocean on the table. And considering this fancy hotel is located right in the heart of Stone Town, visiting the key tourist attractions is a must.
You should totally visit the Forodhani Gardens, the Old Fort, Old Dispensary, the Peace Memorial Museum and the House of Wonders, but if I were you, I’m sure no one could drag me away from those stunning and refreshing turquoise waters.
By the way, did we mention the hotel’s oceanic signature experience? It involves a Dhow Sunset Cruise, snorkeling and scuba diving. That should be fun!
