Sandies Nungwi Beach (formerly Sandies Baobab) is the Planhotel Hospitality Group’s flagship all-inclusive beach resort in Zanzibar, positioned on the tide-free north coast near Nungwi village. With 125 rooms and suites designed for maximum comfort and a comprehensive activity programme, the resort sits on Nungwi’s celebrated beach widely regarded as among the finest in East Africa where crystal clear waters remain swimmable around the clock regardless of tidal movement. The resort’s all-inclusive package covers meals, beverages, non-motorised watersports, and the use of all facilities, making it a strong choice for guests who prefer a simplified, predictable holiday without constant additional charges.
The Mvua African Rain Spa provides treatments using locally sourced spices, oils, and natural ingredients. Multiple dining venues serve international and Italian cuisine alongside Zanzibari specialities, complemented by the panoramic bars that overlook the Indian Ocean. An in-house diving centre organises certification courses and reef trips to Mnemba Atoll. The resort runs a community foundation supporting local social and environmental projects.
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport (ZNZ) is approximately 55–60km from Nungwi, about a 1-hour drive north along the island. The hotel arranges airport transfers. Daily flights connect Zanzibar with Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, and other regional hubs.
