Discovering Nungwi: Zanzibar’s Coastal Charm

During my trip to Zanzibar, I had the pleasure of staying on the island’s stunning northwest coast, specifically in Nungwi. I stayed at the Riu Palace Zanzibar, a beautiful beachfront resort that exceeded all expectations with its amazing location and incredible facilities. If you are considering a trip to Zanzibar, I highly recommend this place for its serene atmosphere and luxury experience. #travel 🏨 We arrived in the afternoon and were warmly welcome with a delicious lunch at the hotel. The food was fantastic and the views from the restaurant were breathtaking, with the sparkling turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean just steps away. #hotelstay #holidayvacation 🏝️ After lunch, we decided to explore the surroundings. We took a relaxing walk along the beach, and as we strolled, we were captivated by the local charm. Our walk led us all the way to the village of Nungwi. The beach path was lined with friendly locals selling beautiful handcrafted souvenirs, including paintings and other crafts that are perfect as mementos from your trip. #explore #localguides 🛖 When we reached the village, it was a true delight. There are several shops selling unique souvenirs, as well as small restaurants offering traditional Zanzibar cuisine. The atmosphere was relaxed, and we spend hours just soaking in the sights, sounds, and colours of this vibrant little village! 🍽️ In the evening, we had the pleasure of dining at Z Zanzibar, a charming restaurant known for its delectable dishes and amazing ambiance. The dinner was truly a highlight. With a cozy rustic setting and incredible ocean views, it provided the perfect atmosphere for enjoying fresh seafood and traditional Zanzibar flavours. It was the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring. #foodie Tips for travellers: - If you are walking along the beach to reach Nungwi, wear comfortable shoes and bring some sunscreen, as it can get quite hot. - Bargaining is part of the experience, so feel free to haggle a little if you are purchasing souvenirs. Nungwi is a must-visit if you are in Zanzibar. The combination of stunning beaches, local culture and the warmth of the people made this experience unforgettable.
