Melia Zanzibar: picture gallery


Melia Zanzibar is one of the island's largest resort complexes.
The hotel is located on the island's east coast.
With 124 rooms, Melia is a large hotel...
...with a contemporary style featuring lots of glass and white...
...and plenty of amenities, all finished to a high standard.
There are conference rooms...
...and various other facilities designed especially for the business traveller.
The gardens are well designed...
...with manicured lawns and tidy pathways...
...as well as plenty of open space.
The main area features three restaurants...
...a 60 metre pool...
…with regular work-out sessions…
…and sports including tennis and basketball.
Melia has a rather restricted beach of its own…
…but the long jetty…
…is a very appealing asset.
For the hotel's proper beach, you catch the regular golf cart service…
…to the private Gabi Beach, 1km to the south…
…with its cabanas…
…sunloungers and hammocks.
Although Melia has every facility you could desire...
...including air conditioning throughout the property...
…a children's club…
…and an extensive spa, treatment centre and gym…
...it inevitably lacks individuality and real character.
