At The Sands, dining is relaxed, fresh and close to the ocean. Our restaurant offers a mix of international favourites, local ingredients and the flavours of Zanzibar, served in a welcoming setting surrounded by tropical greenery and sea breeze.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared with care, using fresh products whenever possible and simple recipes that suit families, couples and friends. Guests often appreciate the quality of the food, the friendly service and the easy atmosphere that makes every meal feel part of a relaxed Zanzibar beach holiday.

From local spices and seafood to international dishes and lighter options, our restaurant is designed for guests who want good food without formality, comfort without excess and the pleasure of dining close to the Indian Ocean.

Located directly on the beach and facing the sea, the Beach Bar is one of the most loved corners of The Sands. It is the place to enjoy fresh tropical juices, refreshing drinks, cocktails, local coffee or Italian coffee at any time of the day, with the sand just a few steps away.

The atmosphere is informal, warm and naturally beautiful: perfect after a swim, for a light lunch by the ocean, for an afternoon break or for a quiet sunset drink with the sound of the waves in the background.

Every day at 5:00 pm, complimentary tea with cookies is offered to our guests, a simple ritual that adds to the friendly and relaxed spirit of the resort.
