Days 1-2 Stone Town

The cultural and historical heart of the archipelago, Stone Town is a labyrinth of streets with intricate doors adorning the beautiful old buildings. Enjoy a variety of exotic sights and smells today on a spice tour into the island's interior. Take in the heady scent of drying cloves, taste the bark of a cinnamon tree and be thrilled by the sight of locals reddening their mouths with the lipstick plant. Get acquainted with fresh tropical fruits too - coconuts, jackfruit, bananas and pineapples abound on this isle of plenty. Try the pungent fruit of the durian tree if you dare. This afternoon there's time to uncover more of Zanzibar Town's secrets - from vibrant markets to an atmospheric Arab fort.

Days 3-4 Beach Resort

Travel north today to soak up the sun on a beach of pure white sand or splash in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Stay two nights in a comfortable resort built from locally-sourced coral, limestone and mangrove timbers, sleeping in traditional-style rooms. The resort is perfectly located on the palm-fringed coastline where stretches of white sand reach into warm, welcoming waters. The spectacular offshore reef, home to a startling array of brightly coloured fish, makes for excellent snorkelling and diving. If you're feeling energetic, there are also exciting activities such as water skiing and deep sea fishing on offer. Take in the view from your balcony, work up a sweat in the gym or just chill out - on the beach, by the pool or in a bar.

Day 5 Stone Town

There's time for a final refreshing early morning swim before transferring to Zanzibar Airport after breakfast.
