The Sands Beach Resort

The Sands Beach Resort is a tranquil boutique beachfront resort on Dongwe Beach along the south‑east coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania, set amid lush tropical gardens that slope gently down to an expansive stretch of soft white sand beside the turquoise Indian Ocean. With just around 20 rooms and villas — including garden and sea‑view bungalows, spacious family villas and private pool villas — the resort blends intimate privacy with a tropical atmosphere, making it ideal for couples, families and travellers seeking peace and relaxation by the sea. Guests can enjoy direct beach access, a large outdoor swimming pool, a beach bar and restaurant serving a mix of local and international cuisine, snorkeling and diving opportunities near the coral reef, plus bike or car rentals to explore the surrounding area. Known for its scenic beachfront setting and calm ambience, The Sands captures a peaceful island escape in a warm, authentic Zanzibar style.
