Arusha Coffee Lodge is the perfect place to stay before you head further out to the famous plains of the Serengeti or the less explored Selous or Arusha national parks. This top-rated lodge is in northern Tanzania, on the outskirts of Arusha town and within a coffee plantation. Stay in one of the 18 private chalets, each with a private lounge and a sit-out overlooking the surrounding coffee plantation. Get meals at Redds African Grill House restaurant, with an inviting open log fire to keep guests warm. The café and Safari Bar are great for in-betweens and drinks. The plantation offers bean-to-cup tours that explore the fascinating process of coffee production. 

Fundu Lagoon, one of the most remote island resorts in the Indian Ocean, is only accessible by boat. This effortlessly chic Tanzania hotel is perched on a mangrove-fringed beach on Pemba Island, part of the Zanzibar ‘Spice Island’ archipelago. With just 12 private hillside and beachfront suites, this award-winning resort hotel is as exclusive as it gets. There are wonderful communal spaces to hang out in, four bars, a fusion spa, an infinity pool, five-star dive facilities, and a spacious thatch-roofed restaurant. The fully equipped PADI dive centre allows you to explore pristine reefs and their abundant marine life.

In north Zanzibar, Zuri Zanzibar is located on Kendwa beach, the island’s only non-tidal beach. This means you can swim all day in the tranquil turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Bungalows, suites, and villas are furnished with stylish local furniture and African artwork. They have outdoor showers and large private terraces. Zuri Zanzibar offers its guests yoga, meditation, personalised wellness classes, and an outdoor workout space. Pick from a range of water sports, go on dhow boat cruises, or swim in the infinity pool. The hotel offers tours of local spice plantations and Stone Town. Four bars and restaurants on-site offer a fusion of European, African, Arabic, and Indian cuisines. 

Thanda Island is a 20-acre private island off Tanzania’s Mafia Island and south of its famous neighbour Zanzibar. Just one kilometre in circumference and 350 metres wide, this haven is exclusively for the private use of hotel guests. Thanda is perfect if you’re travelling as a family or a group of friends as it has only one villa with five suites. Each suite includes indoor showers and outdoor baths and private patio space. Two banda-style beach huts accommodate eight additional guests each. The outdoor deck offers a breakfast boma, pizza oven, BBQ, bonfire area, cocktail bar and pool. The hotel offers guests access to a range of water sports. Get here via a 45-minute helicopter ride from Dar es Salaam or a 45-minute boat ride from Mafia Island.
