Riu Palace Zanzibar
Riu Palace Zanzibar is an elegant adults-only retreat set on the dazzling sands of Nungwi Beach—one of the island’s most iconic coastlines, famous for its crystal-clear water, dramatic sunsets, and year-round swimmable ocean. This luxurious all-inclusive resort blends modern style with island sophistication, offering a polished yet relaxed atmosphere that makes it one of Zanzibar’s most sought-after holiday spots.

For an extra-special stay, the exclusive private-pool villas offer unmatched privacy and ocean panoramas—ideal for honeymoons, anniversaries, or romantic escapes.
Dining at Riu Palace caters to every mood, with multiple restaurants serving gourmet international cuisine, beachside grills, and atmospheric alfresco dinners under the stars. The resort’s premium all-inclusive offering means guests can indulge freely, from handcrafted cocktails to generous buffets and à la carte experiences—all with the Indian Ocean as your backdrop.
Active travellers will love the variety of included activities, from snorkelling and kayaking to daily entertainment and live music, while those craving relaxation can unwind at the spa with its soothing treatments inspired by nature.
A perfect choice for couples and friends, Riu Palace Zanzibar combines luxury, convenience, and one of the best beachfront locations on the island.

Before you go
What To Pack
As a guide, the maximum weight for checked luggage is 20kg in economy class and 30kg in business class
If you’re taking a seaplane transfer, the luggage allowance is a little more restrictive than your commercial flight - you are allowed 20kg per person of baggage and one piece of hand luggage weighing no more than 5kg.
Take along your best beach and casual wear, perfect for the day. A light rain jacket might come in handy in the event of the occasional rain shower. Sunglasses and suntan lotion are a must. Flip flops, sun hat and a beach bag
Take Your Own
Don’t forget any medication that you might need, and be sure to pack it in your hand luggage.
Chargers for all your devices (it’s a good idea to take along a few movies on a tablet or something similar as the English TV channels in your hotel may be limited).
Take along your own goggles & snorkels – even though your resort will have this equipment available to hire, you’ll probably be happier having your own.
Mosquito repellent. An underwater camera is a great idea.
Travel Tips
Pack a change of clothing in your hand luggage in case of baggage delays (and a spare cozzie so at least you can have a swim when you get to your resort). No sharp objects are permitted in your hand luggage (yes, tweezers are sharp!). Put electronics, medication, toothbrushes and jewellery in your carry-on bag.
Travel insurance is a must. If you can’t afford it, you can’t afford to travel!
It’s often a good idea to let your bank or credit card company know that you’re going overseas.
