Our Stone town Guide
If ever you find yourself in Zanzibar, Stone Town is likely where you’ll start. And while some travelers choose to skip spending much time here in favor for Zanzibar’s more well known and gorgeous beaches (I made the same mistake the first time I visited a few years ago), I highly recommend you spend at least two days exploring this beautifully enchanting old town.
What I found most intriguing about this UNESCO World Heritage site was how rich the culture and history is. Once a flourishing trade hub (which unfortunately included slave trade), it continues to be a melting pot of traditional African, Arab, Indian and some European cultures.
As you walk through the narrow, winding streets, you’re bound to experience some sensory overload: children playing football in the narrow alleyways, early morning calls to prayer and Hindu ritual bells, an intoxicating smell of spices lingering in the air, beautifully and colorfully dressed women, and men deeply engaged in mancala. What’s not to love about that?
Hotels in Stone Town
The best hotel in Stone Town is the The Serena Inn – or the new Park Hyatt next door. The Serena is often considered one of the more commercial, western hotels here, but actually it is beautifully housed within one of the town’s oldest buildings. It also has the best location of all the hotels, right on the coast and with great ocean views.

Best places to stay in Stone Town Zanzibar
The truth is; there are not a huge amount of options accommodation-wise in Stone Town. Even the bigger more luxury hotels are not quite 5*! If you are drawn to Stone Town as a destination then you will like them though. Park Hyatt and the Serena are the bigger hotels in Stone Town and provide a fantastic level of luxury in the food & service, even though some aspects of the whole experience is slightly more rustic than the general standard of hotels throughout the rest of the island. We would recommend saving money for your beach time, and going for a smaller, rustic and botique Stone Town hotel.
What to do in Stone town?
We are in no doubt that the best way to get about Stone Town is with a private guide. Some say the best approach is to meander the streets, window shopping and absorbing the atmosphere…but that can also mean a day getting lost! Hiring a guide will help you to make the most out of your time in Stone Town, and protects you from being hassled. There are many fine buildings to visit including the House of Wonders, the Arab Fort, various ruined Sultan’s Palaces, museums, the Forodhani Gardens and many more historical attractions.

Stone Town (West Coast) – Perfect Combination of City and Beaches. Stone Town itself is not famous for the most beautiful beaches in Zanzibar. Oftentimes the water is a bit rougher than in other areas, not quite as clear, and full of boats (it is a port city after all).
You can swim on the beach next to Tembo hotel. And nothing to worry, at sunset you can join locals who dive off the forodhani walls.
Zanzibar North-east Coast: the island’s prime location, most of Zanzibar’s top-end accommodation is set on the north-east beaches. The diving is excellent here, there’s not much tidal variation and the archipelago’s best reefs of Mnemba Island lie about a kilometre or half a mile offshore.
