An Island Escape

Have you ever dreamed of jetting off to a small tropical island, swapping your mobile ringtone for the whisper of the breeze in the trees? Then this holiday is JUST what you need!

Zanzibar is Tanzania's famous spice island, but if you want to get right away from the crowds there are other lesser-known island and islets to choose from, offering small lodges and hotels with friendly, personal service. We've picked out 3 of our favourites just to give you a flavour of what you could be enjoying, but there are others to tempt you too, which you'll find shown under the Accommodation tab below.

Fanjove Private Island is a tiny dot in the Indian Ocean. It's uninhabited apart from the staff and guests, so you'll have the island. Go for nature walks, snorkel amongst tropical fish and take a cruise looking for dolphins. Slow down and enjoy the slower pace of life.

On Mafia Island, Kinasi is a real 'barefoot luxury' destination. Larger than the tiny island above, Mafia is still only half the size of Zanzibar.

Whichever you choose you'll have a wonderful time resting and exploring, making new friends and enjoying delicious freshly cooked food. You'll come away feeling thoroughly refreshed and re-energised.
