Bluebay Beach Resort & Spa *****

This luxurious beach resort is situated directly on the beautiful northeastern coast of Zanzibar, on a pearly white, fine sandy beach.
From here, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Indian Ocean.
Surrounded by approximately 15 hectares of tropical gardens with over 1000 palm trees, the resort is one of Zanzibar's most prestigious hotel complexes.
The Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is about 50 minutes away. In the vicinity, you will find restaurants, bars, a pharmacy, and a medical center.

We would like to inform you that all airlines from Tanzania are currently on the EU's so-called ‘blacklist’. For this reason, they are currently not authorized to operate long-haul flights to the EU. We are therefore not currently using any of these airlines for our long-haul flights to the EU.
The lack of authorization is not due to specific safety problems with the individual airlines, but rather to the inspection and safety procedures of the Tanzanian aviation authority, which do not currently meet the safety requirements of the EU.
However, the airlines that we use for domestic flights (for example, for transfer flights from Zanzibar to mainland Tanzania) are subject to the international safety assessment ISSA of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) or a comparable safety assessment. These assessments correspond to the globally recognised safety standards of the aviation industry.
