Zanzibar Accommodation
Melia Zanzibar
Location and Setting
Melia Zanzibar is situated on Zanzibar’s northeast coast in the Kiwengwa area, approximately one hour by road from the airport. The resort occupies a generous stretch of private beachfront with the coral sand and clear blue water that has made Zanzibar’s northeast coast famous among beach travellers from East Africa and Europe.
The resort’s scale, significantly larger than the boutique properties elsewhere in this guide, is one of its advantages for couples who want variety: multiple dining outlets, multiple pools, a full-service spa, and a beach with enough space that finding your own quiet corner is never difficult.
Accommodation
Melia Zanzibar’s rooms and suites are built to the international standard that the brand delivers across its global portfolio: spacious, air-conditioned, well-furnished, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable extended stay. Room categories range from standard garden-facing rooms to suites with private pools and direct beach access.
The Level category, Melia’s premium offering, provides enhanced room sizes, a private lounge with exclusive food and drink service throughout the day, and a higher standard of amenities that makes it the obvious choice for honeymoon couples. The Level rooms have ocean views, larger terraces, and priority access to beach loungers in the resort’s quieter sections.
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris arranges honeymoon packages at Melia Zanzibar that include room decoration, sparkling wine on arrival, a private beach dinner, and a couple’s spa treatment, creating a honeymoon atmosphere within the resort’s larger setting.
Dining
Melia Zanzibar’s all-inclusive dining programme is one of the resort’s strongest assets. Multiple restaurants cover Swahili coast, Mediterranean, international, and themed cuisine nights with a consistency of quality that keeps a seven-night stay varied and interesting. The buffet restaurant serves all three meals with an extensive selection, and the a la carte options in the specialty restaurants provide more intimate dining environments.
Beach barbecue evenings, a live music programme that runs several nights per week, and the Level lounge’s all-day food and drink service complete a dining offering that is among the most comprehensive on the island.

Facilities and Activities
The resort has multiple swimming pools of different character: the main pool with its swim-up bar is the social hub, a quieter pool near the beach provides a more relaxed environment, and the Level pool is reserved for premium room guests. The spa offers a comprehensive menu of treatments from Zanzibar-inspired body therapies to international facial and massage techniques.
Water sports including snorkelling, kayaking, windsurfing, and catamaran sailing are available from the beach. The dive centre can arrange certified dive trips to the Mnemba Atoll. Tennis courts, beach volleyball, fitness classes, and the resort’s daily activity programme ensure that guests who want to be active have no shortage of options.
Africa Bed of Roses Safaris arranges the full programme of Zanzibar island excursions from Melia: Stone Town half-day tours, spice farm visits, Prison Island and dolphin watching, sunset dhow cruises, and the Jozani Forest excursion to see the rare red colobus monkeys that are endemic to Zanzibar Island.
Why Melia Zanzibar Is a Solid Honeymoon Choice
For couples who want the certainty of an internationally operated five-star all-inclusive resort on a beautiful beach, with a wide range of facilities, dining options, and activities, and the particular value that the Melia brand delivers at scale, Melia Zanzibar represents a strong and reliable choice. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris recommends it particularly for couples who want variety over intimacy: multiple dining options, multiple pools, and a resort large enough that different corners of the property feel genuinely distinct.
Frequently Asked Questions About
Melia Zanzibar
The northeast coast beaches are tide-dependent, with swimming best at high tide. The resort team advises guests on daily tidal conditions. The snorkelling on the exposed reef at low tide is excellent.
Jozani Forest is Zanzibar’s only national park, home to the Zanzibar red colobus monkey, a species found nowhere else in the world. The forest walk takes approximately two hours and provides close-range sightings of the monkeys in their natural habitat. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris recommends it as a half-day addition to any Zanzibar beach stay.
