Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa

A beautiful resort located on a hillside, surrounded by lush greenery and maintained with exceptional care. Everything is spotless and thoughtfully designed in an authentic Zanzibari style, full of charm and taste. The rooms and bathrooms are very spacious and cleaned daily to a high standard. All the activities you could wish for are available, including wellness and spa facilities. The resort has its own private beach with trees and comfortable sunbeds, and the pool area is equally impressive — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the surroundings. What truly makes this place special, however, are the people who work here. From the managers to the gardeners, everyone is friendly, cheerful, and genuinely helpful. It was my first stay here, but certainly not my last. Thank you, Ocean Paradise Resort & Spa Zanzibar — I will definitely come back.

We cannot recommend this resort highly enough. Everything from the friendliness of the staff , the delicious food, enjoyable entertainment, excellent room , with the best and most effective mosquito net we have found in any hotel. It was the perfect culmination to our trip to Zanzibar. We had planned this as a restful end part of our holiday , and it was delivered in spadefuls.

The best start to 2026. Left the UK in the snow and finally arrived in Zanzibar and Ocean Paradise the next morning to be greeted by swaying palm trees, white white sand, turquoise sea and the biggest smile from Scott (from Scotland!). It set the tone for the next 7 days of fun, adventure and pure relaxation. The location of Ocean Paradise is exceptional with the ocean stretching out as far as the eye can see - it was a wonderful experience to do the reef walk , spotting the star fish and other sea creatures. The resort is so relaxing and has a chilled vibe. The rooms are large and immaculate with excellent room service and always lots of towels. The food was also exceptional with so much choice at Breakfast - fresh juices made to your specification, lots of healthy options as well as full cooked and regional specialities. Dinner was by the pool with the sounds of the ocean and varied every evening - particularly loved the Swahili and Indian nights. The nightly entertainment was also great and varied, from local bands to Masai warriors dancing. The staff are amazing, always smiling and cannot do enough for you. It is true - Scott seems to be everywhere making sure everyone is happy and looked after - his team are a credit to him! Michael the GM was always present and would take his time to make sure that you were happy with everything. So in conclusion, if you are looking for a resort that is super friendly, relaxed and beautiful you can't go wrong with Ocean Paradise. Thank you for everything - I will be back!

When we arrived, straight away the views were stunning. The rooms were outstanding, clean and spacious, we took advantage of the laundry service which was excellent. The swimming pool was the hub of the resort because of the aqua activities, swim up pool bar, beach volleyball and animation team. Breakfast was served with stunning views of the beach. The evening meals were served at a different location from breakfast with entertainment around the pool. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. A special mention goes to Scotty the food and beverage manager went above and beyond to cater for gluten free dietary requirements.
