Matemwe Retreat East Coast Zanzibar, Zanzibar

On the east coast of Zanzibar you will find seemingly endless stretches of white powdery beach. The water is usually crystal clear and great for swimming when the tide is high. When the tide goes out, it can go out for miles, and though you can't swim during these times, the exposed inter-tidal zone can be a fascinating place to walk. Matemwe Retreat has privatised a small stretch of the beach and made in exclusively for the use of their guests. - View lodge details

Danforth Yachting Shore of Lake Malawi, Malawi
Although not really a 'beach break' – time spent on the yacht 'Mufasa' is just as relaxing and even more watery. This is a fully-equipped ocean-going catamaran – the only one of its kind on Lake Malawi. This yacht can be chartered for long or short trips on the Lake, is able to sleep eight guests – and makes a great water-side break! - View lodge details

North Island North Island, Seychelles
It's difficult not to eulogise here, but North Island is the ultimate beach break that we offer: it's a private island I the Seychelles taking very few visitors – with three stunning beaches. Strolling around these, you'll very seldom have anyone else on the same beach as the island has so much space; there's a lot to explore. - View lodge details

Unguja Lodge South-west Zanzibar, Zanzibar
Unguja Lodge sits on a low coral cliff above a quiet stretch of beach. Though it doesn't have the endless long white beach that some may associate with Zanzibar, it is far away from other resorts and as a result is free from any hassle. You can also snorkel and dive straight from the beach here – which is a rarity on Zanzibar. - View lodge details

Azura Mozambique Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique
The beaches on Benguerra Island are beautiful: fine sand with thousands of shells everywhere. The waters on the island's western side, around Azura Mozambique, are generally calm, whilst the ocean on the eastern side can be rougher. Tidal variations are great - at low tide it may be a couple of kilometres to the sea! - View lodge details

Fairmont Zanzibar East Coast Zanzibar, Zanzibar
Zanzibar has some of the most pristine beaches in the world. White sand, palm trees, beautiful shells and crystal clear ocean waters are a real highlight, and the Fairmont Zanzibar stands right on a lovely beach. Guests can relax, or participate in some guided activities like jogging, beach volleyball, and beach games. - View lodge details

Benguerra Lodge Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique
The pale sand beaches on Benguerra Island are beautiful, and thousands of shells wash up on the shores. The sea on the western side of the island is generally calm, whilst the sea on the eastern side can be quite choppy. Note that the tidal variations are great - at low tide it may be a mile or so out to the sea! - View lodge details

Sunrise Hotel Michamvi Peninsula, Zanzibar
Sunrise Hotel and Restaurant sits in a quiet stretch of beach on Zanzibar's Michamvi Peninsula. The beach has powdery white sand which stretches off into the distance on either side, and beautiful water which is usually crystal clear. However Sunrise does lack in loungers and shade on the beach. - View lodge details

Pongwe Beach Hotel East Coast Zanzibar, Zanzibar
The beach at Pongwe is one of the nicest we have visited on Zanzibar. When the tide is high Pongwe sits in a private little cove and then when it goes out, a wonderful stretch of inter-tidal zone is revealed for walking and exploring. Pongwe is a simple place which is perfect for pure relaxation. - View lodge details

Chintheche Inn Shore of Lake Malawi, Malawi
The inn has a wooden boat and a speedboat, both of which can be hired for a day or half a day. Trips out to local islands are perfect for snorkeling and swimming (snorkelling gear can be hired from the inn) as the lake is crystal clear, warm and teeming with brightly coloured fish. - View lodge details
