There is a total of 15 en suite rooms, which are eco-friendly and each has its own charm and style that blends in with the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere of the property. Keeping with being eco-friendly there is no air-conditioning in the rooms, but special design to incorporate the ocean breeze as well as the surrounding vegetation does help to keep the rooms cooler.

All rooms have comfortable queen size beds with large mosquito nets plus a private bathroom with a shower & toilet. There is a ceiling fan plus strong standing fan plus a bedside fan to keep you cool. Rooms all have safe deposit box plus a stone bench with cushions, wooden wardrobe. All rooms are doubles, but the Sunshine Suites can also add one extra bed. There are no family or inter-leading rooms, but it is possible to have 2 rooms next to each other which is ideal, especially for families with older children.

The rooms categories include:
Sunshine Suites (12) – these are located in 3 ‘bungalows’, surrounded by tropical garden, with 4 en suite rooms in each (upstairs & downstairs). Between the bungalows and the sea is 2 swimming pools and it is possible to see the ocean from most rooms and others the tropical gardens. Suites have either a balcony or veranda.

Honeymoon Suite (1): This suite is the most luxurious and located directly off the beach with its own garden, beach banda and a little plunge pool on the veranda.

Blue Breeze Suite (1): Located above the honeymoon suite this is as spacious as the honeymoon suite but has no garden, only a private terrace with great ocean views and antique finishings.

Garden Deluxe Suite (1): Located in the garden with all the amenities but no direct ocean views – it is a short stroll to the beach though.

Garden Suite (1): Also located in the tropical gardens and a short walk to the beach and pool.

Sunshine Hotel serves its meals at the beach restaurant as well as a bar that serves a variety of drinks. There is also a lounge area to relax and catch up with the outside world (Wifi). The menu is changed daily to keep options fresh and you can be sure to enjoy the many flavours of Zanzibar with its fusion of spices and freshly caught fish that is bought from the local fisherman.

For those who enjoy to dive there is a PADI dive centre and you can arrange trips to Mnemba Island or other areas. The beach here is tidal, like most of the beaches in Zanzibar and the changing tides offer different experiences – during low tide, you can walk out to the reef or enjoy some snorkelling and as the tide comes in then its time for swimming. It is also possible to enjoy long beach walks here.

Sunshine Hotel offers a great base for those looking for something that is relaxed and not ‘too fussy’. We recommend adding a night or two in Stone Town to make the most of your Zanzibar experience! Do chat to us about the best way to include Sunshine Hotel into your holiday.
