The famous spice farms as well as a host of bucket-list PADI dive spots are also just a stone’s throw away. Even with all of this on offer, guests will no doubt still want to spend most of their time within the sanctuary of the resort, where they can also enjoy star-gazing through a telescope on the rooftop of the minaret or enjoying a film in the open-air cinema after a long day spent enjoying the sandy beach of the private bay.

The resort’s events team is able to see to all aspects of wedding organisation, from catering and decoration to legal procedures and other formalities. Regardless of the occasion, guests at Hakuna Matata are guaranteed to find themselves adopting the namesake philosophy – “no worries” – when kicking back in the unique resort that offers a touch of history, an abundance of natural splendour, and access to the best that Zanzibar has to offer.
