Ocean
Paradise Resort
Situated
on Zanzibar’s picturesque North East coast, overlooking the turquoise Indian
Ocean, it is as the name suggests a little piece of paradise.
From your arrival at Zanzibar Airport, the resort is a meandering 45 minute journey
through un-spoilt scenery, passing typical African villages where the way of life
has changed little for hundreds of years.
At
Ocean Paradise Resort Zanzibar, you will be greeted by a blaze of colour as you
sweep down the imposing driveway, saluted by a Masai warrior as you pass through
the entrance gate and be captivated as you arrive in reception and look out over
the resort and the azure blue sea. Mature coconut palms swinging in the breeze,
white sandy beach, beautiful landscaped gardens, traditional style round chalets
with pitched makuti roof, a stunning waterfall feature and the largest swimming
pool in Zanzibar are just some of the sights that await you. A big smile and the
greeting of "Jambo" will be the first words you hear, as you begin to
feel the warmth that the people of Zanzibar are famed for.
Rooms
& Suites
Designed
as a traditional African roundhouse but featuring all the creature comforts you
could need, our rooms and suites are truly unrivalled. Set in 6.5 hectares of
serene and colourful gardens, leading to a white sandy beach and the turquoise
waters of the Indian Ocean, each room is indeed an idyllic setting.
Nestled
under a pitched makuti roof, each room is sea facing with large patio doors that
open up to a private balcony, where you can sit and take in the sedate pace of
African life.
A peaceful sleep is guaranteed in a fully air-conditioned
room with comfortable twin or king size beds draped with mosquito netting. The
addition of satellite television and radio, direct dial telephone, mini-bar, hair
dryer and a unique curved en-suite bathroom, with shower, toilet and bidet, complete
the facilities that will make your stay relaxed and enjoyable.
