Prison Island is a simply Paradise on Earth. One of Zanzibar’s best known attractions, the island lies 3.5 miles to the northwest of Zanzibar’s Stone Town, a short 20 minutes dhow ride from Stone Town, and like Zanzibar has a fascinating history. The old prison building which were later used as a quarantine station have been meticulously restored by the present owners to create a modern boutique hotel whilst preserving the historical treasures.Book Now
