In the south-east of Zanzibar, on the Michamvi Peninsula, you truly feel like you're at the ends of the earth. On the west coast, a white sand beach caressed by calm, crystal-clear waters runs alongside the five-star Konokono Beach Resort. This peaceful complex rises up a small cliff with 26 villas spread out in a lush tropical garden covering 12 acres. An infinity pool, a spa, a traditional Zanzibar restaurant and cosy bars await. Whether you travel with your family, partner or friends, a dream stay is guaranteed.

Rooms

The quiet, intimate villas at Konokono Beach Resort make a cosy place to relax. Spread across the complex, they offer vast, elegant, contemporary spaces.

Garden View Villa [135 M2]

This large air-conditioned villa is spacious and refined. White mosquito nets hang from the king-size four-poster bed. There is a separate living room and terrace and can accommodate up to three people. Read or sunbathe by the small, refreshing private pool and the surrounding garden.

Family Villa [140 M2]

Designed for families of two adults and up to two children, this large villa consists of a bedroom with a king-size bed and a separate living room with two single beds. White walls and exotic wood furniture create a fresh, understated look. Outside, the terrace leads to a small swimming pool.

Luxury Water Villa [100 M2]

The Isaraya Water Villas are built over the water on the Konokono Beach Resort jetty. These exclusive villas have been designed with style and comfort in mind, with all the luxuries you could need for your stay, plus impeccable service to ensure privacy and exclusivity.


Each Water Villa covers an area of 100 m2 (a 65-m2 villa interior and a 35-m2 private patio/sundeck). This private outdoor space designed for two people has a private pool and also provides direct access to the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean via a private staircase. Relax on a sunbed and watch the picturesque and romantic sunsets over Chwaka Bay with a drink or al fresco dinner!

Seafront Apartment [135 M2]

This beautiful beachside villa for two has magical sea views that you can admire endlessly from the terrace or while taking a dip in the small pool. Inside, a cosy king-size bed and a lounge area occupy this large space with white walls.

Restaurants & bars

The beach is the perfect backdrop for meals and aperitifs at Konokono Beach Resort. Guests can enjoy delicious food and drinks by the pool, on the sand or from a hill overlooking the bay.

Main Restaurant

The restaurant's large elevated open terrace has a stunning green roof and traditional decor. The buffet and menu include Zanzibar specialities and dishes from all over the world.

Pool Bar

Waking up each morning and enjoying your coffee overlooking the tranquil pool and the sea beyond are among the little pleasures offered by this bar. Later in the day, cocktails and wine can be served with sandwiches or a light meal.

Beach Bar

Head to the Beach Bar for lunch by the ocean. Diners love the delicious fresh seafood and fish available. At sunset, there are tasty cocktails to go with Mother Nature's colourful show.

Activities & lifestyle

The blue sky, turquoise ocean and white sand offer a palette of soothing and restful colours. Dive into the infinity pool overlooking the sea to cool off before settling down on a lounger.

Mattresses and sunbeds enclosed by sheer curtains encourage you to relax on the fine white sand. Stroll along the beach in search of seashells, swim in the crystal-clear waters or head to the spa for some next-level unwinding time. Outside the hotel, explore Zanzibar Island with its diving and snorkelling sites. In Jozani-Chwaka Bay National Park, meet the endangered Zanzibar red colobus monkey.

Discover the destination

Legendary Tanzania is sure to capture your imagination. From striking Mount Kilimanjaro to its iconic wildlife, including giraffes, elephants and zebras, Tanzania has long fascinated nature lovers. The vast savannah, dotted with volcanoes and crisscrossed by endless red dirt roads, is the perfect setting for adventure and discovery. Just off the east coast of mainland Tanzania lies the Indian Ocean gem of Zanzibar. This island paradise boasts stunning beaches and a rich culture.

Formalities

For information on travel formalities and the documents required for the destination mentioned on this page, you should consult the consular services or embassies of the country of destination and possible transit. The relevant contact details can be found on the website of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs at the following address: https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/fr/dfae/representations-et-conseils-aux-voyageurs.html and https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/fr/dfae/representations-et-conseils-aux-voyageurs/conseils-voyageurs/visa.html.

Please be advised of a change in regulations concerning travel to Zanzibar. Foreign visitors to Zanzibar are now required to take out travel insurance upon arrival (up to 92 days' stay in the islands). All foreign visitors must take out mandatory travel insurance at a cost of US$44 per person directly from the website of the national insurer, Zanzibar Insurance Corporation, prior to arrival: www.visitzanzibar.go.tz. To learn more about the new requirement, please click here: https://visitzanzibar.go.tz/faqs.

Should any issues arise, please contact the Swiss embassy or consulate directly. You can find their contact details on the website of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs at: https://www.eda.admin.ch/eda/fr/dfae/representations-et-conseils-aux-voyageurs.html. Non-Swiss nationals are invited to contact the embassies and consulates of the country of destination and possible transit, as well as the diplomatic or consular representation of their country of origin in Switzerland.

Vaccination

  • Please ensure that you have received all the necessary vaccinations, including those required for the areas you will be visiting.
  • It is recommended that you have your diphtheria, tetanus and polio (DTP) vaccinations up to date, as well as mumps, rubella and measles vaccinations for children. Anti-tuberculosis vaccination is also recommended.
  • Other recommended vaccinations: depending on local travel conditions, vaccinations against typhoid fever and viral hepatitis A and B may be recommended.
    It is preferable to be vaccinated against bacterial meningitis A + C + Y + W135.
  • Vaccination against rabies may also be recommended in certain cases, depending on the conditions and location of your stay. Ask your doctor or an international vaccination centre for advice.
  • The information provided by the Tanzanian authorities regarding vaccination against yellow fever is unclear and requires further clarification. In principle, vaccination against yellow fever is only mandatory for individuals arriving from a country where the disease is endemic, or for those who have spent more than 12 hours in transit through one of these countries. In practice, proof of vaccination is often required without discrimination. While vaccination against yellow fever certified by an international vaccination booklet can help avoid administrative problems at the airport, it should be noted that this does not constitute a legal or medical obligation.

Visa

The Tanzanian Embassy in Switzerland has not been issuing visas since November 2019, and only an e-visa can be obtained, solely via the government website (https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa/).

In the event that travellers are unable to apply for a visa prior to departure, they may obtain one at the international airports of Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Kilimanjaro, as well as at the ports of Dar es Salaam, Zanzibar and Kigoma.

When crossing the border, immigration officers may reduce the validity of a visa issued online. It is therefore advisable to check the endorsement placed by the immigration authorities on the visa itself and to adhere strictly to the length of stay granted.

It is imperative to inform the Tanzanian authority issuing the visa that the purpose of the stay is for tourism. Please note that tourist visas cost different amounts. Any individual staying in Tanzania on a tourist visa for business reasons is liable to prosecution with serious consequences, including heavy fines, deportation and even a temporary or permanent ban from the country. For example, it is forbidden to carry out any activity (even voluntary work) on a tourist visa: those concerned must apply for a type C residence permit, even for a short stay.

Kindly note that only post-2006 US dollars are accepted for visa fee payment upon entry to Tanzania. A tourist visa costs €50 or US$50 (no change possible).

For further information, please consult the Tanzanian Immigration website (https://immigration.go.tz/).

Identity

Please be advised that the Tanzanian authorities require a passport that is valid for at least six months from the date of arrival in Tanzania.
