As a guest of our hotel, you will be pleased to know that Bluebay Beach Resort is committed to the preservation of the environment. These are some of the ways in which we protecting our environment for future generations. We employ reverse osmosis technology to purify underground water in order to make it fit for human consumption. This reduces the impact of the hotel on Zanzibar's fresh water resources. We have taken this one step further by also installing a wastewater treatment plant which recycles all room, kitchen and laundry wastewater. This in turn is used to maintain our beautiful tropical gardens thus further reducing our impact on the islands water supply. The lush tropical gardens have themselves been landscaped using indigenous trees, plants, shrubs and ground cover in order to attract the varied bird species of the island as well as to provide an insight to visitors of the diverse tropical vegetation on Zanzibar. All guestrooms have been equipped with modern energy saving devices and all electrical installations employ the latest in energy efficient technology. All refrigerators and air conditioners also comply with the latest regulations concerning the use of CFC's and other ozone harmful gases. Garbage is separated at source and what cannot be disposed of in an appropriate manner on the island is incinerated in a purpose-designed incinerator on the hotel premises. The resultant ashes are used to fertilise the hotels lush grounds. We have even taken a great deal of trouble to protect our environment from noise pollution by installing our standby generator in a soundproof structure which emits less than 70 dBa at 1 meter. Bluebay Beach Resort has been officially recognised and commended by the Government of Zanzibar for its outstanding contribution to the preservation of the environment of the island.

Where the sultans of Zanzibar. For more than 200 years, the islands of Unguja and Pemba along with much of the coast of Eastern Africa was ruled by the mighty Sultans of Zanzibar. They lived in splendor in their magnificent palaces where large, spacious rooms contained every creature comfort imaginable. At Bluebay Beach Resort, we have created two super-deluxe rooms where we feel sure that the Sultans themselves would have wanted to stay. Situated on the very edge of the Indian Ocean only a few metres from the brilliant, white sandy beach of Kiwengwa, these two Sultan Rooms are attended by Butlers, dressed in flowing traditional Swahili robes, whose sole aim is to ensure that your every need is met and surpassed. Spacious verandahs, furnished in true Zanzibar style, provide the ideal location for washing away your worries and your cares while the ample rooms with their 8 feet 'Sultan size' beds enable you to experience first hand what it must have been like to be a real Sultan. Of course, the Sultans never had access to all the technology that is to be found in our Sultan Rooms, but we feel certain that were they to pay us a surprise visit today, they would approve of all of the modern conveniences we have included. For more information about the Sultan Rooms, please contact the General Manager of Bluebay Beach Resort at the following e-mail address: manager@bluebayzanzibar.com
