Breezes Beach Club & Spa

Breezes is the family favourite that still feels personal, a mid-size resort on the quiet southeast coast run with genuine warmth. The children's club, a games room and even a small cinema room give parents real breaks, and the activity list for kids is huge: guided reef walks, sandcastle-building, cookery workshops, palm-weaving and Swahili lessons. Two children under twelve stay free in a Deluxe Room, which softens the cost. The beach is east coast with a strong tide, so the pool and morning sea are your friends, and the calm setting away from the crowds is a big part of the charm.
Our verdict
A warm, activity-packed family resort where two under-12s stay free and a games room and cinema cover the odd tide-out afternoon.
The rooms
Breezes is a warm, owner-run resort on the southeast coast, and it leans into families. Deluxe Rooms take up to two children under twelve free when sharing with parents, and there are larger rooms and family arrangements with extra beds. Cots and highchairs are provided, and the whole place is designed to keep several ages happy at once. Ask about connecting or garden rooms near the pool and the children's club for the smoothest days with little ones.

Parents also ask
Do children really stay free?
Up to two children under twelve stay free in a Deluxe Room sharing with parents. Meals and transfers can still be charged, so confirm the details at booking.
What about the tides?
This is east coast, so the sea retreats far at low tide. Swim in the morning, use the pool at midday, and turn the low tide into a guided reef walk.
Is there enough to do on a rainy day?
Yes, an indoor games room and a small cinema room, plus the covered kids club, mean a wet hour or two is easy to fill.

Hideaway of Nungwi Resort & Spa
Spread over ten hectares of gardens at the northern tip of the island, Hideaway has a wide choice of rooms, and families are well served. The larger 90 sqm suites sleep three or four with a big sofa bed in the living room, and several categories add a private pool. Cots come free on request, and ground-level garden rooms keep a pushchair easy. Ask for a room near the 50 metre pool and its separate children's pool rather than a far garden corner.

Melia Zanzibar
Melia spans a huge, leafy estate above a long Kiwengwa beach, with a room range that runs from Garden Rooms to one, two and three-bedroom villas, many with a private pool. For families the villas are the star: masses of space, an enclosed garden and a pool of your own where a toddler can splash safely. Cots and highchairs are provided, and the main pool has a shallow children's section. Note that the adults-only areas, The Level and the spa pool, are for guests 16 and over.

Park Hyatt Zanzibar
Right on the Stone Town seafront, Park Hyatt has generous rooms and suites, several of which connect or take an extra bed for a child. Cots and highchairs come on request and there are some child-friendly menu choices. There is no kids club, but this is the rare Stone Town hotel with a real pool and a bit of beach, so it works as a comfortable one or two-night city base at the start or end of a beach trip rather than a week-long family resort.
