At The Sands, dining is relaxed, fresh and close to the ocean. Our restaurant offers a mix of international favourites, local flavours and fresh ingredients, served in an easy and welcoming atmosphere appreciated by families, couples and friends.

The beach bar is one of the most charming places in the resort. Set just steps from the sand, it is perfect for fresh juices, light lunches, Italian coffee, cocktails at sunset or a quiet drink with the sound of the waves in the background.

At the centre of The Sands, guests can enjoy a large 30-metre swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, umbrellas and tropical greenery. It is one of the favourite places in the resort to relax, cool down and enjoy easy days between the beach, the garden and the bar.

Next to the main pool, a small circular pool welcomes younger guests, making the area especially comfortable for families with children. Drinks, cocktails and light food can be served around the pool by our friendly team, so guests can enjoy the day without leaving the relaxed rhythm of the resort.

Wide Sands, Open Views and Quiet Days

The Sands opens directly onto a wide private beach on the peaceful bay of Dongwe, one of the most relaxing areas on Zanzibar's east coast. The open view, white sand and natural surroundings create a quiet setting for swimming, walking, reading or simply enjoying the sound of the Indian Ocean.

The beach is arranged with sun loungers, deck chairs and canopy beds, offering comfort while preserving the natural feeling of the coastline. With generous space and a calm atmosphere, it is ideal for couples looking for privacy, families enjoying easy beach days and friends spending time together by the sea.
