3-Day Zanzibar Beach Holiday Itinerary overview

Dreaming of soft white sands, swaying palm trees, and crystal-clear waters? Our 3-day Zanzibar beach holiday is your perfect tropical escape. Whether you’re winding down after a wildlife safari or flying in for a quick coastal getaway, this itinerary delivers the magic of Zanzibar in just the right amount of time.

Located off the coast of mainland Tanzania, Zanzibar is a picture-perfect island paradise offering a rich blend of Swahili culture, exotic flavors, and world-class beaches. This short beach holiday is designed for travelers who want to relax, recharge, and soak in the natural beauty of the Indian Ocean.

Upon arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ), our driver will meet and transfer you to a carefully selected beachfront resort. Choose between budget, midrange, or luxury accommodation based on your preference and style. Each property offers easy access to the beach, tropical gardens, and relaxing ocean views.

Over the next two days, you’ll have the freedom to enjoy the beach at your own pace. Swim in turquoise waters, sunbathe under coconut palms, or indulge in tropical cocktails as you listen to the waves. We offer flexible optional add-ons like a guided Stone Town tour, a traditional Zanzibar spice tour, or an unforgettable sunset dhow cruise — perfect for couples and solo travelers alike.

Dining in Zanzibar is a treat of its own. Feast on fresh seafood, island spices, and tropical fruits at seafront restaurants and local cafés. From grilled lobster to Swahili curries, every meal is a celebration of Zanzibar’s coastal heritage.

On your final morning, enjoy one last walk on the beach or a relaxed breakfast with an ocean view before your transfer back to the airport. If you’d like to extend your holiday, we can help you upgrade to a longer Zanzibar itinerary or combine this with a northern Tanzania safari.

This 3-day Zanzibar beach tour is perfect for couples, families, solo adventurers, or friends looking for a short tropical break. Whether it’s a romantic weekend, a post-safari wind-down, or a beach-based extension of your East African adventure — this trip delivers the essence of Zanzibar in just three relaxing days.

Spend the rest of the day at leisure—relax on the soft sand, dip into the turquoise sea, or enjoy a tropical cocktail at a beach bar. In the evening, unwind with a delicious seafood dinner as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean.

Day 2: Free Day or Optional Excursions

Wake up to the sound of the ocean and enjoy a leisurely breakfast with a view. This day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Lounge by the beach or pool, get a massage, or stroll through nearby beach villages.

Want to explore? Add optional activities like a Stone Town walking tour through Zanzibar’s UNESCO-listed historic center, a Zanzibar spice plantation tour, or a magical sunset dhow cruise with snacks and live taarab music.

Return to your hotel in time for dinner and a quiet evening under the stars.

Day 3: Farewell & Airport Transfer

After breakfast, enjoy one last swim or a peaceful walk on the beach. Depending on your flight schedule, there may be time for a short morning activity or souvenir shopping.
