CHAPWANI PRIVATE ISLAND
Chapwani is a small hotel on a private
island surrounded by white sandy beaches only ten minutes
away by boat from the capital Stone Town.There are five
bandas (thatched bungalows) each with two en-suite
rooms, making a total of ten rooms.
Inside you’ll find a large double bed – the traditional
Zanzibari four-poster with a mosquito net draped over
it – whose plump pillows are adorned with a freshly-plucked
hibiscus flower. There’s a small table and chair, a
ceiling fan, a picture or two, and not much else. There’s
just enough space for a cot or an extra bed. At the
back is a bathroom with basin, shelves and an open-plan
shower; and a separate toilet.
All in all it’s a simple, practical, comfy beach
room. Outside is a wooden terrace with deckchairs, and
just beyond that a thatch parasol with your own sunloungers.
The sea is so close that at very high tides it practically
laps at your terrace.

CHUMBE ISLAND LODGE
Chumbe is a small forested island just
a few kilometres to the south of Zanzibar Stone town.
It is at the center of a small marine conservation area
and is the site of a small and exclusive lodge.There
are just seven of these fabulously wierd constructions,
for a maximum of around 14 guests, so the island never
feels busy, even when full. The bandas are reasonably
well spaced, although could have been farther apart
for our liking, but do nonetheless give a real feeling
of being out in the wilds. All of the rooms look out
towards the sea and it takes just thirty seconds to
stroll from the comforts of your hammock to feeling
the warm tropical ocean lapping at your feet. We had
a slight preference for the last two bandas, which give
a greater sense of privacy. Built from palm thatch and
other natural materials, these constructions have a
light, airy feel. All rooms are equipped with double
or twin mattresses on the floor of the mezzanine sleeping
area, accessed by a ladder. Beds can be made up as a
double or two twins. There are self-contained bathrooms
with hot and cold water shower, large living rooms equipped
with handmade furniture and decorated with African art
and colourful fabrics ... and very comfortable hammocks.
