Dining
Sea Cliff Resort & Spa Zanzibar’s two restaurants and three bars have a laid-back vibe, with open-air thatched pavilions that make the most of the tropical climate. Dine on local and international cuisine at Mangapwani and Kobe, and enjoy sea breezes and idyllic views at Zanzibar, Jetty Bar and the Beach Bar.
Mangapwani Restaurant – With a pavilion and large terrace, the all-day dining restaurant overlooks the main pool and ocean. Choose from a buffet stocked with local and international dishes, and at night, look forward to lantern-lit tables and live entertainment.
Kobe Restaurant – For a casual lunch, dine at an umbrella-shaded table by the second infinity pool. On the menu are fresh salads, healthy wraps, and tasty pizzas, plus you can order food and drinks from your sun-lounger around either pool.
Zanzi-bar – Under a pitched Makuti roof with whirring fans, this chilled bar has leather sofas, wicker chairs, and old wooden trunks. Amble over for a tropical cocktail any time of day, and be sure to catch sunset from here at least once during your stay.
Jetty Bar – At the end of the wooden jetty, this thatched-roof gazebo offers a front-row seat for Zanzibar’s stunning sunsets. Descend the staircase for a dip in the sea, then enjoy the view from a comfy chair or sun lounger with a cocktail in hand.
Beach Bar – Unwind at this blissful spot overlooking the resort’s private beach dotted with sun loungers and umbrellas. Sip cocktails, beer, wine, and juices in between spells of swimming and snorkeling.
Activities at Sea Cliff Resort & Spa Zanzibar
Gaze at endless ocean vistas from a sun lounger, or head to the watersports center to enjoy complimentary kayaking, paddle-boarding, and sailing — or try your hand at water skiing and tubing. Play a game of beach volleyball, and keep fit with Technogym machines in the gym. Indulge in Africology treatments in Zuri Rituals Spa, and hang out in the sauna, steam room, and plunge pool. Swing by the stables and go horse riding, or play a round of golf at the nine-hole seaside course or the delightful Cliffer's Cove Mini-Golf Course located next to the ever-popular Kids Club.
Away from the resort, visit Stone Town to explore the atmospheric alleyways and fascinating architecture influenced by African, Arab, European, and Indian cultures. Haggle for souvenirs in the bazaars and stop by the house where Freddie Mercury, the legendary Queen singer, was born. Take a boat to Changuu Island, home to giant Aldabra tortoises, and visit Jozani National Park, where you can see the rare red Colobus monkey.
