Zanzibar Serena Hotel is located on the seafront of Stone Town that offers guests the grandeur of days past set in two combined historic buildings. Without question, one of the more popular Stone Town Hotel options out there and offering an exceptional night out at the Baharia Restaurant.

Stone Town is a legendary place full of old palaces with intricately carved doors and colourful spice and fruit markets. This is more of a historic hotel in a historic town from which one can explore all that is is Stone Town; we would not consider this a beach hotel.

Our selection of Zanzibar Lodges from family-friendly to romantic to the absolute in luxury and everything in between. With stunning beaches and a rich history and culture to explore, Zanzibar is the perfect destination for your safari adventure.

Book your stay today and explore everything that this beautiful island has to offer!
