Pros
- • Course on site — first tee is a short walk
- • Forgiving enough for mixed-ability groups
- • Beach and reef time between rounds
Worth knowing
- • Nine holes only — most golfers play two loops
- • Big hitters may find it short off the back tees
- • Humidity makes afternoon rounds hard work
Guiding was the highlight
Sea Cliff Resort & Spa Zanzibar is right on the sand — snorkelling straight off the beach and calm, warm water all week. The private guide and all-inclusive dining were worth every dollar.

Wildlife on our doorstep
Staff arranged a dhow sunset cruise at short notice; the whole stay felt effortless. The private guide and all-inclusive dining were worth every dollar.

Would return tomorrow
Beautiful rooms, sea breeze, and dinner by the water every evening. A perfect post-safari wind-down. The private guide and all-inclusive dining were worth every dollar.
