Beachfront resort on Bwejuu Beach in Zanzibar
Beachfront & Pool
Protels La Plage Resort sits directly on Bwejuu Beach, with the ocean steps from the rooms. The hotel maintains a year-round outdoor swimming pool and a separate kids' pool, both cleaned daily. Sun loungers and pool/beach towels are provided for all guests, and a designated staff member rakes and waters the sand every morning to keep the beach free of seaweed.
Dining Experience
The hotel operates five restaurants, including a family-friendly restaurant serving halal meals, brunch, lunch, dinner, high tea, and cocktails. Themed dinner nights and live music performances are held regularly, and room service is available for guests who prefer to dine in. Breakfast is served as a buffet each morning, with fresh fruit and local dishes prepared according to seasonal ingredients.
Activities & Entertainment
Guests can join free daily activities such as pool aerobics, beach volleyball, and yoga, led by the on-site animation team. Evening entertainment includes live music, stand-up comedy, and themed dinner nights, with fire shows performed several times a week. For those seeking adventure, the hotel arranges snorkeling, scuba diving, cycling, and game drives to nearby attractions like Jozani Chwaka Bay National Park.
Accommodations
Rooms are air-conditioned and offer either sea or garden views from private balconies, with flat-screen TVs and electric kettles provided. The Superior Double Rooms and Bungalow with Garden View are spacious enough for families, and safety deposit boxes are available in every room. All accommodations are non-smoking, and the hotel enforces a no-pet policy to maintain a quiet environment.
Services & Family
A 24-hour front desk assists with airport transfers, currency exchange, and booking excursions, with a dedicated driver available for guests. Families benefit from the kids' pool, children's activities like soccer and pool games, and the hotel's willingness to accommodate early check-in or late check-out when possible. The general manager personally checks on each guest daily, and housekeeping cleans rooms and changes sheets every day.
