About This Accommodation
Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport Hotel & Spa is a modern four star hotel located approximately 500 metres from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport. Its convenient location makes it a practical choice for travellers arriving late, departing early, or needing a comfortable stopover before continuing to Stone Town or another part of Zanzibar.
The hotel has around 60 rooms, including single, double, twin, family rooms, and suites. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, WiFi, a private bathroom with a shower, television, minibar, safe, seating area, writing desk, wardrobe, and complimentary drinking water. Depending on the room position, guests may have views of Zanzibar City, the garden, or the airport runway.
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, fitness centre, spa and wellness area, children’s play area, restaurant, room service, and a rooftop terrace. The rooftop is a pleasant place to relax and enjoy city views before or after a flight.
The hotel restaurant serves African and international dishes prepared with fresh local produce. Continental, vegetarian, vegan, dairy free, and halal meal options can be arranged when requested in advance.
Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport is also within driving distance of Stone Town and several cultural attractions, making it suitable for guests who want to explore Zanzibar City during a short stay. Transfers, city tours, and island excursions can be arranged separately.
We recommend Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport Hotel & Spa for short stopovers, business travellers, families, and guests with early morning or late evening flights. It is a convenient airport hotel rather than a traditional Zanzibar beach resort, so travellers looking for direct beach access should choose a coastal property instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Airport transfers can normally be arranged, but they may not automatically be included in the room rate. Guests should confirm the transfer cost, pickup time, and meeting point before arrival. Because the hotel is very close to the airport, the transfer is usually short.
No. Golden Tulip Zanzibar Airport is a city and airport hotel, not a beachfront resort. It is best suited for short stays, business trips, flight connections, and overnight stops. Travellers looking for direct beach access should choose accommodation in areas such as Nungwi, Kendwa, Paje, Kiwengwa, or another coastal part of Zanzibar.
The hotel offers air conditioned rooms, WiFi, a restaurant, room service, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, a spa, a rooftop terrace, and a children’s play area. Rooms also include a private bathroom, television, minibar, safe, desk, seating area, and wardrobe.
Yes, the hotel can accommodate families and offers family rooms, a swimming pool, and a children’s play area. However, its main advantage is its airport location. It is a strong choice for one or two nights, but travellers planning a longer Zanzibar holiday may prefer a beach resort or a hotel closer to Stone Town’s main attractions.
