Breezes Beach Club & Spa

Breezes Beach Club & Spa suits travellers who want a full resort experience on Zanzibar’s east coast, with a proper beach, a spa and structured water sports rather than an independent guesthouse feel. It has operated for years and draws a mix of couples, honeymooners and families who want reliability over surprise. It is not a Stone Town city stay, so pair it with a night or two in town if you want history alongside the beach.

Location and access

The resort sits at Bwejuu on the east coast, a roughly 60 to 90 minute drive from Zanzibar’s main airport depending on traffic and road conditions. The east coast has a long, wide beach, but tides here swing significantly, so swimming conditions change through the day. The resort itself sits back from the water behind palm gardens.

What to know before you book

• East coast tides go out a long way at low tide, so check tide tables if swimming from the beach matters to your plan.
• The spa and water sports centre are genuine draws here, worth booking treatments and dive or kite lessons ahead of arrival in peak season.
• The drive from the airport takes longer than to the north coast resorts, factor this into arrival day planning.
• Half-board and full-board options are common at resorts like this, confirm what is included before you book add-on meals separately.
• Good base for excursions to Jozani Forest and Stone Town day trips, both reachable by road.

How it compares

Breezes Beach Club & Spa suits travellers who want a full resort experience, with structured water sports, a spa and reliable service. Red Monkey Lodge at Jambiani offers the same east coast tides and a long beach for a fraction of the price, with simple rooms and no spa. Pick Breezes for comfort and treatments, Red Monkey Lodge for budget.

FAQs

Can I swim at any time?
Not always. East coast tides swing a long way, so the sea can retreat well beyond the shoreline at low tide. Check tide tables for your travel dates, and ask about swimming windows if this matters most to your plans.

How do I arrange transfers?
The resort sits 60 to 90 minutes from the airport by road, so most guests book a transfer through the resort or tour operator rather than a taxi on arrival. Confirm pickup details and flight times when booking your stay.
