Mtoni Marine Centre
Mtoni Marine is the perfect romantic haven, yet situated only 4 kms north of Stonetown. It is an ideal location from which to explore Stonetown and the rest of the island, while providing a peaceful retreat from it all. This is the site of the first clove plantations, the first Sultan's Palace, the oldest Persian Baths and the anchorage of the Sultan's Fleet. The excellent restaurant is situated right on the water, allowing you to dine barefoot on the sand and under the stars. There is a no more romantic setting for dinner or sipping cocktails from your private balcony. Your accommodation is in one of only 6 Palm Garden rooms. Cool, fresh and light, these large tiled rooms have views across the beach and ocean to the four islands. The bedrooms are furnished with king sized Zanzibari beds. |
