DoubleTree Resort Nungwi

About DoubleTree Resort Nungwi

A tropical hotel, right on the beachfront in northern Zanzibar.

Unwind, relax, and breathe in the fresh ocean air at the Hilton DoubleTree Resort, right up on the northern tip of Zanzibar on Nungwi Beach. International hotel it might be, but with the thatched roofs and spacious rooms with fabulous ocean vistas, there's no doubt that you're in Zanzibar. If you're feeling adventurous, then head out for a scuba diving session and explore the tropical waters ahead, or take an afternoon off and lounge on a shady sunbed by the swimming pool. When you're staying in a hotel like the Hilton, there's never a shortage of activities to get stuck into...

Property details

The property

After hours of underwater exploring, you can enjoy one of three resort restaurants. For refreshing ice cold beers, fruity cocktails and homemade pizzas, head to Dolphin's Pool Bar, or try Ngalawa Restaurant for fun, themed evening meals and live entertainment against the beautiful ocean backdrop. During the day, relax by the swimming pool (but get there early for a sun lounger!), and you'll also find all the classic resort trappings on site - snooker, darts and table tennis.

The rooms

All 96 rooms have either a garden, swimming pool or ocean views, and a private balcony from which to admire them from (or to get stuck into your holiday read!). The interiors are fresh and simple, and the beds extraordinarily comfortable - perfect to sink into after a day at the beach. You can choose between the one-bedroom luxury rooms, or upgrade to a two-bedroom suite to enjoy a daily fruit basket, fully stocked mini bar and a 30-minute complimentary massage.

Activities

You might not realise it, but the Doubletree is situated a mere two minute walk from Nungwi village centre, where you can wander through the fresh fish market, sampling as you go. For a taste of adventure - cameras at the ready - visit the historic Stone Town, strolling through the winding market streets and admiring the elaborate architecture, or venture to Prisoner Island to marvel at the giant tortoises. Closer to home, there's a multitude of water-based activities to get stuck into and, of course, that beautiful beach.

Why we love it

Make the most of the direct access to the beach, with long walks collecting shells, snapping pictures, and gazing out across the mesmerising horizon.

Insiders Tip

Adventure seekers have a bounty of activities to try out, with everything from windsurfing, waterskiing and parasailing to jet-skiing, kiteboarding and wake-boarding on the menu. Order up!

Something to think about

At high tide, the beach in front of the hotel all but disappears but there's a great poolside area overlooking the waves which, in our opinion, is just as lovely.
