Tucked into Kwale Island is one of Zanzibar’s most magical natural features — a sheltered tidal lagoon of astonishingly clear, calm water, perfect for a peaceful swim in paradise.
Swim in crystal-clear water
Fed and refreshed by the tides, the Kwale lagoon holds some of the clearest, calmest water you’ll find anywhere on the island. Float, swim or simply cool off in surroundings that feel a world away from everything.
