Legendary Zanzibar Beach Resort

Tanzania

About this stay

Legendary Zanzibar Beach Resort is a beachfront property on the Michamvi Peninsula, on Zanzibar's quiet southeast coast, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes from the airport. The resort blends a relaxed, tropical atmosphere with the comforts guests need for a beach holiday, making it well suited to couples, families, and small groups. Rooms are arranged across five categories, from the Standard Room and Superior Room facing the communal pools, to the open plan Deluxe Room and two level Duplex Family Room, up to the Beach Front Suite with its own plunge pool and uninterrupted ocean views. All rooms include air conditioning, mosquito nets, safe box, WiFi, and an open roof shower, with most offering direct or short-walk pool access. Two large interconnected pools anchor the resort, complete with sun loungers and in-water beds, alongside a shaded lounge area, games room with billiards and table tennis, an air conditioned gym, and a boutique shop stocking local Inaya Zanzibar cosmetics. The central restaurant and bar, led by the kitchen team, serves a mix of Swahili dishes and international favourites with both a la carte and poolside menu options, plus an extensive drinks list from morning coffee to evening cocktails. A signature touch is the Legendary Floating Breakfast, served on a flower decorated tray in the guest's own pool with fresh tropical fruit, artisan breads, and eggs cooked to order. Meal plans range from breakfast only to full board plus, and the resort's team can help arrange island wide excursions, transfers, and laundry throughout the stay.
