9 lodges found for family holidays in Zanzibar

Kikadini Villas Michamvi Peninsula, Zanzibar

Kikadini Villas is a good place for families, best to book out a villa for exclusive use – which is remarkably reasonable value. This gives lots of space and flexibility, and a chef who can tailor your meals, and meal-times, around what you want. Kikadini can be a great introduction for children to a tranquil, but very real, Zanzibari village. Currently only children over 12 years can stay at Kikadini. - View lodge details

Fumba Beach Lodge South-west Zanzibar, Zanzibar
Fumba Beach Lodge has a relaxed atmosphere and some Deluxe rooms have interconnecting doors – perfect for families. There is a beautiful pool and the PADI dive-school will take children out on trips to learn to snorkel. There are no special facilities at Fumba for children, but we've seen the team here making a big effort to ensure that kids staying were having fun. - View lodge details

Tembo Hotel Stone Town, Zanzibar
The Tembo Hotel is a great hotel for families staying in Stone Town. It has a relaxed atmosphere and there are usually a number of children playing around the pool area. The Tembo is also right on the beach, and although this is a town beach, which isn't ideal for swimming, the sand provides a great playground! - View lodge details

Sunrise Hotel Michamvi Peninsula, Zanzibar
Sunrise is an inexpensive and very relaxed beach lodge which welcomes children. It is quite fun and informal, and doesn't have that 'quiet honeymoon'; feel that can make families with energetic children feel a little uncomfortable. There is also a large pool to keep kids entertained. - View lodge details
