The staff's energy is infectious, and the variety of activities-from horseback riding to mini-golf-means there's always something to do. As the only Zanzibar hotel with a golf course, and an award-winning spa featuring Ayurvedic treatments, Sea Cliff carves out a unique niche for luxury and relaxation.”
