Location
The resort is located along Bwejuu Beach in the southeast of Zanzibar, approx. 1 hour's drive from the airport. Bwejuu Beach is pristine, long and perfect for a stroll. It is protected from large waves by an offshore reef.
Activities
The Frangipani Spa is like a journey into 1001 Nights - prepare to be pampered from head to foot.
The nearby water sports centre (at Breezes), which is considered to be one of the best windsurfing and sailing schools on the island, is available for use by the more active guest. The PADI dive center organizes dive courses and dives along the east cost of Zanzibar (http://www.risingsun-zanzibar.com).
Canoe, kayak and pedalo trips are also on offer. Or why not discover the island on a bicycle. Guided tours of the island can be booked at the hotel. A fitness centre and a tennis court are also available for use.
