If you want to enjoy a small piece of paradise, the idyllic Chapwani Private Island is so delightful you wont believe it is true. It is a tiny coral island nearly a kilometre long and some 100 metres wide. It’s sixteen acres, and it is surrounded by small coves, sandy bays and crystal blue waters, with a beautiful white sand beach running down one side. At low tide you can walk around the entire island exploring the exposed coral and small coves and inlets.
It is only fifteen minutes by boat, which is just over a mile from Zanzibars capital Stone Town, but you are miles and miles away from its hustle, bustle and smells.
Privacy and a high level of service are the real feature of Chapwani, which has a maximum of twenty guests at any one time. What this effectively means is no crowds!! As it is a private island you wont be disturbed by beach hawkers, or people walking by and staring at you, which is wonderful.
Everybody staying on Chapwani must ensure transfers are organised. This will either be from the airport or the sea port. For all guests staying on Chapwani it is necessary to arrange a transfer from the airport or port, into Stone Town and across...
