 Situated on Zanzibar’s picturesque North East coast, overlooking
the turquoise Indian Ocean, it is as the name suggests a little
piece of paradise.
From your arrival at Zanzibar Airport, the resort is a
meandering 45 minute journey through un-spoilt scenery, passing
typical African villages where the way of life has changed
little for hundreds of years.
At Ocean Paradise Resort Zanzibar, you will be greeted by a
blaze of colour as you sweep down the imposing driveway, saluted
by a Masai warrior as you pass through the entrance gate and be
captivated as you arrive in reception and look out over the
resort and the azure blue sea. Mature coconut palms swinging in
the breeze, white sandy beach, beautiful landscaped gardens,
traditional style round chalets with pitched makuti roof, a
stunning waterfall feature and the largest swimming pool in
Zanzibar are just some of the sights that await you. A big smile
and the greeting of "Jambo" will be the first words you hear, as
you begin to feel the warmth that the people of Zanzibar are
famed for.
